Tracy Wheeler How to use Twitter
These days it seems that you can’t escape stories about the latest social networking phenomenon, Twitter. With all the hype and celebrity endorsements, lots of people are asking “how do I use Twitter?”
There are plenty of sites out there that will tell you how to use Twitter, but not so many to warn you of the pitfalls.
If you take a minute to learn from this list of handy Twitter tips then you’ll be Twittering away with the best of them.
DO hold your tongue. Unless your updates are protected, anyone can see what you are currently Tweeting. Bear in mind the story of the girl who managed to Tweet her way out of a job just because a hiring manager read her thoughts on the position she interviewed for.
DON’T use Twitter as another chat client. No one wants their screen full of irrelevant Tweets from a conversation that they’re forced to eavesdrop on.
DO make sure that you retweet other people. This can be a good way to build up a following of like minded People.
DON’T constantly self promote. Okay, we get it – you have a blog. Twitter isn’t a one way street – interact!
DO follow people back, but….
DON’T be offended if users don’t always follow you back. Users with tens of thousands of followers are unlikely to see your Tweet through the noise anyway.
DO be funny, informative and creative with your tweets.
DON’T use the auto-DM feature. This is the Twitter equivalent of spam and a faceless “hi, thanks for the follow” is impersonal and off-putting.
DO use it to ask others for help. Once you have a reasonable following you’ll find it easy to find answers to your questions quickly.
DON’T tweet if your message is going to exceed 140 characters. Spreading messages over multiple tweets is just going to confuse and annoy the users following you.
These handy hints should be enough to start you off. If you are likely to spend a significant proportion of your online time on Twitter then there are plenty of guides on the net telling you “How to use Twitter” effectively.
Until next time,
