It works. Though the only real "help" it offers is to eliminate the need to rewet your paper towels. I'd do it in a coffee mug or another opaque vessel though.

I soak the seeds for about 12hr in water. then plant in soil. I think it helps speed up the germ. when you put in soil the soil should be moist not wet and plant just under the soil.

when I used the paper towel I never once had to re-wet the towel.

Depends on the humidity level in the area you're storring the seeds.

I'm germinating in water right now. I don't bother transferring them to paper towels - I just leave them in the water and put the cup on top of a warm appliance or piece of electrical equipment to keep things warm. Seems to work well for me.
