The easiest way to "get your message out" (i.e. have people that read your tweets) on twitter is to use twitter. That is to say that if you start interacting with people who are relevant to what you are interested you will start conversations, and ultimately have more people to spread your message to.
eg. I use search.twitter.com or look in the public feed or look for people my friends are following who are saying interesting things to me. I @reply to one of their tweets. They @reply back to me because I said something interesting and worthwhile. Their followers see the @reply, wonder what it was a reply to, find me, then start following and @replying me. And thus twitter expands exponentially (well, sort of). Start using twitter to have the conversations you are interesting in. If you engage with interested people, they will listen. Emma.
