More on Using Twitter.
Thanks for visiting again, why not get my Blog updates via Twitter?
Thanks! Eoin
Here is some more information on using Twitter.
Who will Follow you & How do you get Followers?
Basically, people will normally follow others based on their profile …
so, for example, if your profile gives a link to your “Bee keeping” web site, or you mention “Bee keeping” in your profile … most of the people that follow you will be interested in ….
… yes … “Bee keeping”
If you post interesting sites you have visited, relating to “Bee keeping”, and “Bee keeping” information, then people will probably keep following you and even look out for your posts.
You can of course post about your “Bee keeping” web site or blog also, but not all the time.
So your Twitter Profile is very important, make sure you have a link and some information about who you are.
You can also find interesting “Twitters” to follow, Use http://search.twitter.com/ to search for something you have interest in and you’ll be surprised what you find.
Other ways to use Twitter
Twitter has a lot of uses, none of them obvious until you start using it.
Say for example I need information on a topic, I can send a message via twitter to my friends and if any of them know anything about it, they send back a message.
I see this happen all the time on Twitter and you’d be surprised how fast you get the information you needed.
In business, it can be used to keep in contact with clients or customers that are on twitter, but you need to be careful and never sell to people on Twitter, or people will stop following you.
The very point of Twitter is that anyone can just follow you, and un-follow you, so any slip up can cause you to see followers disappearing.
Twitter Etiquette
With regard to Twitter Etiquette, the main one is that if you are responding to someone on Twitter and the conversation is of no value to anyone else, it’s better to use direct message instead.
