To create a link like this (which will automatically update someone's Twitter status when they click on it):

http://twitter.com/home/?status=I+love+this+new+question+and+answer+site+about+building+web-based+businesses+http://gatejumper.net

Just follow these steps:

1) Start with the following URL: http://twitter.com/home/?status=

2) Add the text and link as you want it to appear in the tweet. For example: "I love this new question and answer site about building web-based businesses http://gatejumper.net"

3) Copy the whole thing and paste it into a URL encoder like this one: http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/DotNet/Tools/UrlEncode/Encode.aspx

4) The URL encoder will give you a URL that people can click on to tweet your message.

That's all there is to it.

Actually, you don't even need to take the extra step of using the URL encoder. The first link works just fine.
