marshal sandler on 03 May 09Twitter manners- how to write good tweets and be a good twittizen Sat, May 2, 2009Social Media Tips and Tricks Like any community there are a lot of un-written laws to how you tweet on Twitter. Most of it is just plain common courtesy and some of it is specific to the platform. What I'm posting here in no particular order are the ones I try to remember and I encourage you to add your own for us all to learn from. Fill out your profile and upload a picture. Before you start Tweeting let people know who they're listening to. When someone discovers your carefully written and deeply valuable first Tweets, they're going to come to our profile to learn more and decide if they want to follow you. If you've got the default icon and no info they may wait until later. There is no later. They'll forget you. Don't follow a bizillion people right off the bat. Choose your Twitter friends carefully for the value they add to you and your network. You're looking to build relationships, not notches in your cyber bedpost.
