Twitter usage

Oh no not yet another person posting about how to use twitter. It’s like teaching my grandmother how to suck eggs, I already know how to use it.

If that’s the case why do you follow me with name123456789? Then spam me your latest get rich quick scheme and because I don’t follow you back you drop me like a sack of potatoes. Well guess what, I’ll never ever follow you back.

If you want me to follow you please use your real name or at least the name of your blog or website (as long as it isn’t a site trying to sell me the latest internet marketing gumpf).

Put up an avatar the default o_O doesn’t instill me with a lot of confidence.

Put up a little bio about yourself.

Most important of all I like to see @ replies, it shows that you are interacting with your followers.

If you are a well known person in the media, then get your account verified by twitter, then I know you are the real deal.

As Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) says it’s not about the numbers.
