A Small Rant

Twitter isn’t rocket science but it does require some common sense.

Twitter_Spam_Fail

The above picture is an example of what not to do on Twitter. This is called spam. It’s annoying. It’s rude. It lowers your influence and loses you followers. Don’t do it.

Think about what Twitter is – a microblogging tool. Blog infers content. If this is your content, what value are you giving your readers? Another thing – Twitter is social media – which means conversation. This is talking at someone, not with them. Please don’t do it. Thank you.

So what to do:

  1. Engage and converse with the people you think would be interested in your product / service.
  2. Tweet about things you’ve read that are interesting to you (or about things on your site that others might like)
  3. Respond to others when they message you
  4. Be nice

Is it that hard?
