10 Twitter tips that will make Twitter enjoyable

10 Twitter Tips

1) Follow Back...unless you're a superstar or the only person Conan O'Brian follows.

2) Be nice...use good, non-offensive language...you never know who's listening.

3) Use hash marks...follow http://twitter.com/hashtags. Once you do that, every time you make a tag a post in Twitter with a hash, like so: #HCR, it will then show on http://www.Hashtags.org. The great thing about hash marks is people interested in the tagged subjects will find your post latter, and hopefully follow you.

4) Shrink Your URLs using a shortner such as bit.ly

5) Use the @ Sign to create replies or direct a Twit at someone. Simply place an @ sign in front of the Twitter username

6) Don't go overboard on Direct Messages; most people dislike them.

7) When you get a new follower, look at his profile and look for an interesting post. Retweet it. They'll like that better than a Direct Message.

8) Using hash marks, search for topics you're interested in and follow the people posting on it. Following people you like will make your Twitter experience all the more enjoyable.

9) Decide whether you're going to twit for business or pleasure; don't mix both. Customers don't need to know what time you went to sleep or the last time you had a 420. If you need to express yourself, get another username.

10) Don't be repetitive...unless it's something you really need to promote (like a charity.)
