OK I'm ready to sign up for this game.
Now the question is do I start as a single player or can I play with you more advanced types right off the bat?

It's a building/survival game...you can join right in. Just pick a direction, march off until you're in a spot reasonably clear of other people's structures, and start building.
You might want to play solo for an hour or so just to get a feel for the interface and the day/night cycle, but you don't really need to.
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles.
Whoohoo!!!
Ya, as Squidly said you can either jump right in or play a bit offline to get the hang of it. When you spawn, there are boats near (stored in a chest next to the water) by to help you find some open land. Or, you can just walk/swim as far as you want until you feel like stopping.
Biggest suggestion I can offer though is to have the crafting wiki up and ready for referencing.
Server down? Haven't been able to connect all night.

Minecraft.net auth servers had a few hickups... And the server updates are staged, tested, and ready to go for the morning.
Server maintenance is complete, and everything is back online. Release notes to follow shortly. Please let me know if you see anything not working as you expect.
