The sticky post on it is here (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1083748924). It started on WRA, but all other RP servers (and likely some non-RP servers) have gotten involved.
Basically it doesn't matter what server you're from, so long as you want to RP. You just make a Twitter account for your character (if you use Twitter for RL stuff or want to write for multiple characters, there's a program called TweetDeck that makes it easy to handle multiple accounts without logging in/out).
Once you have your account, you just need folks to follow. There are pages of them listed in that thread, but the better way is to go to someone's active account (mine, for example, linked in the post), and just follow all the people that person interacts with. That way you know you're getting active accounts.
ICly, your character finds or is given a book/tome. If you want to find one, they're all over the place, stacks in every city, lost ones in the wild. (A few people use a "box" instead of a book, a goblin-made thing that they use to speak to everyone else in the project. Those folks can include things like noises and laughter, but a box instead of a book is NOT encouraged.)
The books are magic. What you write in them appears in everyone else's book. The "front pages" (main tweets) can be seen by anyone who has your name written into the back of their book (followed you). The "back pages" are private and can be seen only by one other person (PMs).
It's tons of fun. It allows you to RP from anywhere and meet lots of new folks.
Let me know if you have any questions I didn't cover!
