35 Tips From 35 Twitter Users

  1. ryansholin - Be honest. Have fun. Don’t try to sell anything.
  2. joiedevie - funny, informative and catchy: choose two.
  3. wpcandy - Twitter about stuff that has to do with your blog, but also Twitter stuff that has nothing to do with your blog.
  4. scottkarp - Share links, share ideas, ask questions, answer questions — anything but “what are you doing?” unless it’s really interesting
  5. cigarjack - This was my problem at first, I just lurked. Get active and follow others. Great tool for tossing around ideas.
  6. rosshill - Join the conversation, there are too many blog promoters on twitter who just broadcast. Learn @ and start networking :)
  7. soniasimone - Write each word like it matters, because it does.
  8. fairminder - share links. share insights and trends, things that are new or timely/current. Be personal. Don’t link only to yourself.
  9. travishines - share interesting resources, not just what you ate for lunch. Twitter often, and use it to test potential blog topics.
  10. galadarling - No cat anecdotes!
  11. theother66 - make use of other Twitter tools to make the most of Twitter (and so it doesn’t suck up all your time)
  12. TheNanny612 - Efficient is the key to Twitter…. short & sweet. Basically, get right to the point.
  13. vangogh - Respect the people you follow. Be interesting. Listen first, tweat second. Don’t waste words.
  14. empty_inbox - I’m new at it all. The #1 thing to help me has been the use of a desktop client. Without “twhirl” I would’ve given up long ago.
  15. andrewkhunn - Frequent Twitter updates demand desktop clients: Snitter, twhirl, and Twitterific all bear mentioning.
  16. jstamant - This often goes unsaid, but I would suggest not having twitter/twitterific open while writing. It can become very distracting.
  17. hamstu - As far as getting followers goes; I find just being friendly and helpful does wonders. And of course shared interests help to.
  18. MattJMcD - Don’t follow more people than you can handle. If you’ve got too much going on, you miss a lot of the good stuff.
  19. davepit - Keep your Twitter updated and the followers will come. Stay up-to-date and you will reep the benefits.
  20. arieanna - stop thinking that twitter is pointless and just try it. It’s all about community – reach out and be a part of it.
  21. DrBaher - contribute positively to conversations going on inside twitter
  22. sitemost - interact and communicate with others – it’s a social media tool, so be social
  23. RuudHein - Share thoughts more than actions: “Pownce will kill Twitter” vs. “I’m going to the toilet”
  24. baramunchies - add value to your stream
  25. drmani - Look beyond the obvious (traffic, sales etc.) Add value. Build relationships. Think LONG term.
  26. CurtMonash - Learn what people care about. I got a glowing link from RSS inventor Dave Winer my first week of active twittering.
  27. ericabiz - Use twitterfeed. Instant feedback from readers is the best part of Twitter. Listen to others; engage them; have a conversation.
  28. superphly - f you are using WordPress use twittertool much better
  29. puppybraille - Advice: Think before you hit send. 140 characters have the power to help, heal or be miss-understood.
  30. buxx - use an username as short as possible so you can twit more
  31. kidblogger - My tip: “Keep it short” ;-)
  32. nhgnikole - re:twitter, I’d share this with them so they could use rss in new ways with twitter and facebook: http://tinyurl.com/3arsm
  33. fderfel - first advice is to add good description and link for something that would be too short in a post
  34. fderfel - second advice make a good weekly post describing all the twitter for the previous week.
  35. silvano_v - Probably look at pounce, Im sure its going to overtake twitter, as its more feature rich. Aside from that, update often.
