Excellent Post!

I am a business owner that has a Twitter account, but I have never even tweeted as of yet. I was previously lost prior to reading this post. I think that most business owners tend to break rule #7 often.

Thanks,
David Williams

Nice list. I do find it funny how some people use Twitter only for marketing purpose.

I have a blog and a company, and my tweets related to them are less than 1% at present.

Personally I think Twitter is something to interact with friends. Fine if you want to promote some stuff once in a while but to use it for marketing / promotion more than 50% of the time? I think that pretty much defeats the purpose of Twitter.

On the other hand I see people who tweet just because they just need to tweet. Everywhere they go, what they eat, arrgghh. Some even spam tweets on what they’re listening to! Sheeesh, it’s as if a live-broadcast of their day-to-day activity.

Excellent pointers. I feel that I am still a newbie and fell short on one of them so I will definitely take heed. I will also be sure to pass this on to other newbies as well. Kirstens last blog post..Scentsy Monthly Scent Club

This is great and I will retweet it. Probably sticking with my company handle on Twitter though, even though I’ve considered using my name from time to time, and I will try unlocking my Twitter updates again, but I was getting about 20 follows a day with profile pictures of male genitalia and a woman’s mouth…….so, until Twitter can manage that issue, then many people who have experienced the same problems will continue to lock their updates. Until I experienced this disgusting phenomenon for myself, I didn’t understand why folks had locked accounts either.

Great post, Kelly. I am speaking about social media at a conference in July, and I would like permission to share this. Please advise. Thanks for a chuckle and great content.

One other thing I wish even long-term twitter users would do: If you want your tweets to be retweeted, limit your tweet to about 120 characters so we don't have to butcher it to get the retweet under 140. Chris Cobbs last blog post..Beginning Bloggers–Step By Step Course Available
