35 Twitter Tips

Here are 35 Twitter tips from 35 Twitter users:


  • ryansholin – Be honest. Have fun. Don’t try to sell anything.

  • joiedevie – funny, informative and catchy: choose two.

  • wpcandy – Twitter about stuff that has to do with your blog, but also Twitter stuff that has nothing to do with your blog.

  • scottkarp – Share links, share ideas, ask questions, answer questions — anything but “what are you doing?” unless it’s really interesting

  • cigarjack – This was my problem at first, I just lurked. Get active and follow others. Great tool for tossing around ideas.

  • rosshill – Join the conversation, there are too many blog promoters on twitter who just broadcast. Learn @ and start networking :)

  • soniasimone – Write each word like it matters, because it does.

  • fairminder – share links. share insights and trends, things that are new or timely/current. Be personal. Don’t link only to yourself.

  • travishines – share interesting resources, not just what you ate for lunch. Twitter often, and use it to test potential blog topics.

  • galadarling – No cat anecdotes!

  • theother66 – make use of other Twitter tools to make the most of Twitter (and so it doesn’t suck up all your time)

  • TheNanny612 – Efficient is the key to Twitter…. short & sweet. Basically, get right to the point.

  • vangogh – Respect the people you follow. Be interesting. Listen first, tweat second. Don’t waste words.

  • empty_inbox – I’m new at it all. The #1 thing to help me has been the use of a desktop client. Without “twhirl” I would’ve given up long ago.

  • andrewkhunn – Frequent Twitter updates demand desktop clients: Snitter, twhirl, and Twitterific all bear mentioning.

  • jstamant – This often goes unsaid, but I would suggest not having twitter/twitterific open while writing. It can become very distracting.

  • hamstu – As far as getting followers goes; I find just being friendly and helpful does wonders. And of course shared interests help to.

  • MattJMcD – Don’t follow more people than you can handle. If you’ve got too much going on, you miss a lot of the good stuff.

  • davepit – Keep your Twitter updated and the followers will come. Stay up-to-date and you will reep the benefits.

  • arieanna – stop thinking that twitter is pointless and just try it. It’s all about community – reach out and be a part of it.

  • DrBaher – contribute positively to conversations going on inside twitter

  • sitemost – interact and communicate with others – it’s a social media tool, so be social

  • RuudHein – Share thoughts more than actions: “Pownce will kill Twitter” vs. “I’m going to the toilet”

  • baramunchies – add value to your stream

  • drmani – Look beyond the obvious (traffic, sales etc.) Add value. Build relationships. Think LONG term.

  • CurtMonash – Learn what people care about. I got a glowing link from RSS inventor Dave Winer my first week of active twittering.

  • ericabiz – Use twitterfeed. Instant feedback from readers is the best part of Twitter. Listen to others; engage them; have a conversation.

  • superphly – f you are using WordPress use twittertool much better

  • puppybraille – Advice: Think before you hit send. 140 characters have the power to help, heal or be miss-understood.

  • buxx – use an username as short as possible so you can twit more

  • kidblogger – My tip: “Keep it short” ;-)

  • nhgnikole – re:twitter, I’d share this with them so they could use rss in new ways with twitter and facebook:

  • fderfel – first advice is to add good description and link for something that would be too short in a post

  • fderfel – second advice make a good weekly post describing all the twitter for the previous week

  • silvano_v – Probably look at pounce, Im sure its going to overtake twitter, as its more feature rich. Aside from that, update often.
