I was so honored that you followed me! As for advice, I'm not an expert but here are the things that have helped me: 1. Get a twitter client. I use hootsuite but there are plenty of other services out there that come highly recommended. The biggest advantage is that it notifies you when other people mention you. 2. I prefer to stay out of the "follow" frenzy and instead keep up with the voices I know I want to hear from. 3. Search out articles on how to use Twitter--cause there are other people out there that know waaay more than me.
Welcome to twitter and thanks JoLynne for the advice--much needed! One thing I do that I really like on twitter is retweet articles and blog entries that I find helpful.
I'm not sure myself how to go about fully utilizing twitter, but it's a great way to connect with others. Congratulations on the plunge! I'd love to follow you on twitter. Would you do the same for me? Thanks! nutschell
Been Twittering for a while now, but for the most part, I get very little retweets, no one seems to comment on what I say. And it seems almost everyone I follow is mainly there to post links. I want to get to know people, not just read a bunch of links.
I'd definitely suggest using something other than Twitter's homepage to Tweet.
I use Tweetdeck (recent convert) and am really enjoying it. I like that you can have multiple columns so your favorite hashtag chats can be readily accessible, alongside the regular tweet stream and your mentions column.
I agree with Stephanie - I like TweetDeck - it's a free download and very helpful for organizing it all. I also like the chats - #yalitchat and #kidlitchat. They're at 9 EST on Tues & Wed ... I think - I'm not good at remembering days!
Welcome to Twitter! I'm heading over to follow you now.
I recommend something like tweetdeck to help twitter more organized and make more sense. Although the new version of twitter is similar and better than the classic version.
I personally LOVE twitter. Mostly because I have ADD, I think and there's like a million conversations going on all at once and you're basically welcome to join any number of them if you so choose.
I do agree on the twitter client though. I would be LOST without my tweetdeck. :)
Twitter is lovely. A place where you can chat or announce or moan and there's always a friendly tweeple ready to respond. Look forward to chatting with you there. @RosalindAdam
