Usage tipsNB There is NO “right way” to use Twitter! These are my own thoughts!
Have a good profile - tell people why you are interesting
Don’t try to read everything - dip in and out
Don’t feel you have to respond to everything
Vary usage - mix links, status updates, RT, @replies
Follow and reply to interesting people
Try responding to strangers who seem interesting
Try to use just one tweet to get your point across
