All A Twitter
Yeah, twitter is addictive. It’s fun. It’s compelling. Here’s a few tips to help newbies to twitter get the feel of it a little faster:
- SheGeeks’ Twitter 101 post gives pretty good clarification on following other people. In short, give people a reason to follow you before following them. The difference between a friend and a stalker is that you know who your friends are
“When you first start Twitter, you should build up your stream first. Send out about 20 messages that actually mean something. Talk about your interest, something cool that you like, or something you found out about today. This way, people can get a better feel for how beneficial you’d be to them if they followed you in return.” - Sarah Hurd points to Jeremiah Owyang (@jowyang). as a great example of twittering “right”:
“He uses a great mixture of providing helpful and relevant content, championing others, networking, asking questions to generate conversations, providing rundowns of events he’s attending, and laughing about life.” - Charlotte-Ann Lucas, a journalist, says it this way:
“Twitter is community.It can be like sitting with your friends on a coast-to-coast couch, eavesdropping on a national conversation.”
