I love when this story appeared live on CNN this morning Josh is scrolling through twitter updates and stops on one that says "I'm the biggest lameshit..." My wife and I were watching and died laughing. We rewound the DVR a ton just to make sure we both saw it. Ahh the irony of running a story telling us how to use new technology and getting owned by it yourself. All about the CNN failboat.

This is a great post. I just passed it on to a friend who's trying to figure all this Twitter stuff out. Very great points, especially about following everyone. If I see someone following 10,000 people I know they are just trying to follow others in order to boost their own following. I also unfollow people who do nothing but promote their stuff. I'm up to 1300 follows now and I feel I'm getting the hang of it. I love it!

Be sure to use the Favorites feature of Twitter. Saving tweets as Favorites is a great way to highlight your interests to your Followers and visitors to your Twitter profile. And you can also provide a link to your Twitter Favorites on your Website or blog. More information on using Favorites can be found here:

Good tips. I think having lots of followers really helps. Ultimately it's the followers who are usually the first to see the new blog posts.

I noticed that for every tweet that i performed, i will get around 1 -2 followers. It really depends on what interests you are tweeting on.

I must admit that replying everybody made me really exhausted at first. Nowadays I do selective replying depending on my mood for the day.

Ah! If only I had this when I first started! Great guidelines and I'll pass them on to anyone I introduce to Twitter. They'll be saved the headaches and initial disappointment I was.

Corvida,

Thank you for that article. I am new to twitter (well kinda anyways) and started off using it as an IM. Though I have learned better, this article helps. I was hoping I could find a way to add new and interesting people.

It's rather amusing we are at a point we have to tell people how to use a service that lets you communicate with other people.

Twitter's my favorite IM client.

YES! That's precisely part of the brilliance of Twitter.. If only this same concept were applied more elsewhere!? Be it our blogs or "real life" (ha), we should by all means follow (God forbid) tried & true 'rules' til we hit our stride THEN go for broke! Break the mold & discover your own voice. ^_^
