1, What's the difference between PGP and GPG?
PGP stands for Pretty Good Privacy and it's an encryption program. It is used for signing, verifying, encrypting, decrypting e-mails, files or whole disk partitions. An open standard of PGP encryption is OpenPGP.

GPG stands for GNU Privacy Guard and it's an open-source software that replaces the PGP's cryptographic suite. It is part of the OpenPGP and uses a combination of conventional symmetric-key cryptography for speed and public key cryptography for ease of the keys' exchange.

2, What is a PGP fingerprint used for?
For identification. You'll upload your fingerprint to a server along with your public key and if someone ever wants to search you, they'll just use the fingerprint to claim the whole public key.

3, What things can I share in PGP? (Fingerprint, Key ID, Public Key, etc...)
A key ID and a fingerprint is the same thing. I can't think of another thing you can share in PGP if we exclude encrypted/signed messages.

4, Is there any other important thing that I need to know about PGP?
It depends on your character. If you're a person who wants to “dig” the technical stuff and understand how they work, then you'll have to deal with the maths behind the symmetric-key cryptography used in PGP.



PGP is can be cracked. Additional info in google.
Why don't you leave an article that explains it provably?

Have a look online for key signing parties in your area.  You'll need to prove who you are with photo I.D. but it's a great way to meet and ask questions face to face with others white interested in protecting their Pretty Good Privacy.

As with any form of security, older versions are more prone to hacking than newer, up to date versions.
