I’d add, “Be responsive.” Twitter is like any social situation: it’s interactive. That means you have to listen as well as speak. I’m really impressed with celebrities like Stephan Fry who seems to read some of his @ responses and reply to them. Obviously he can’t have a conversation with everyone who writes to him but you get the impression that he does actually try to read and respond to some of his fans. His tweets feel personal.

Same with businesses, especially local ones. When you mention them in a Tweet it’s nice when they notice it. It really builds the customer relationship.

Great little article!

I really try to mix up my Tweets. I’m not on a lot over the weekend, but when I’m on, I try really hard to engage other people.

I only tweet my business when I sell something, list something new, or am running a promotion. Then it only gets one tweet.

I social network because I’m a social person. Being able to promote a little is just the cherry on that particular cake.

I unfollowed someone who called himself “a kind of a big deal”. And I unfollow ppl that can only talk about “me me me” like they are the center of the universe, and those who mention the word “millionaire” in their profiles or tweets.

Good article. I’m still trying to figure out exactly what to do with my Twitter page. It’s a little intimidating to jump into the conversation at first, but this gives me some good tips. Thanks!
