What I learned about Twitter

Written by Jill Manty · September 7, 2010

So, I am working on FourSquare, etc. BUT I have become active on Twitter. Today is day 15.I 7 followers on nearly 300 gegangen.Hier is what I've learned.

1. Twitter may not be declared.

You really have to learn by doing. I saw at George's Twitter account, I don't even know how many times and thought "I don't get it". Now, I'm on Twitter and I get it. I think it is my ability to focus-for more than 45 seconds each time when I log on, but at least now I understand. So, if you set since "do Twitter", dont get because you it, just go ahead and diving. There is no Twitter police.No one is screaming to do it wrong.Sign up to get an account and follow me zu.Dann give me a shout and I'll follow you zurück.Das is the hard part. From there, it will be easier.

2. There are people I follow, won't.

People have no tweets haben.Menschen write each Tweet in languages other than English (no bias here, I just can not follow if I can not read what you're saying) .Menschen regularly use language which will be a problem when my children read my Twitter stream over my shoulder, though you not supposed to do, because it is rude. If I'm going to consider, decide whether you follow your site and it looks like the script a Quentin Tarantino Movie, I'll probably not, to follow you. People who described themselves as "Visionary" - no real reason. It bugs me only.

(3) A quick way I use to determine who I am to follow.

When someone follows me, and I say an email get that someone new follows me, I'm going to your profile and scan your tweet stream. If I offended at the bottom of the page, and I'm not, it is a good sign. But if I get to the bottom of the page and don't see, one thing that I would be interested in retweeting this is a bad sign.So, this is a lesson that you can use to help you determine who to follow is also a lesson in someone who others want to follow - will be interesting.Or people who are at least retweet.

4. HootSuite is my friend.

HootSuite has been very helpful in the position to scan, what happens to my Twitter account.There are a few things which I do not really me for care.And I really need to do a bit more diving.But overall it is a necessary tool for me with Twitter to be successful.

So, this is es.Das is what I learned habe.Zum largest Teil.Jeder of you there to Twitter new? fight with Twitter? do you Twitter have questions? how we noticed I am no Experte.Aber if you leave a question in the comments, will I do my best to answer to finden.Und the main question - have followed me yet?
