Great info about Twitter. I am getting my twitter groove on and this is very helpful.
Thank you.

It is spring time and I feel Twitterpatted! from the movie Bambi!

Enthusiastically,

Hey Heidi – how did you make that Tweet This Post button/code? I looked for it on Twitter and can’t find it. I’d like to put it on my blogs.

Heidi, thanks for these tips. I’ll be visiting the links on this post to learn more as a relative Twitter newbie! I’m with PopArt Terri’s approach. I follow those who have the most in common with me. We live in information overload, and keeping the stream of information and interactions manageable is an ongoing challenge for me. (I have a tendency toward overwhelm.) I’m sure I’m not alone! I, too, have noticed that there’s a definite addictive factor to both Twitter and Facebook!

Heidi – I cannot figure out those people who just follow people to get more followers added to their list. What’s the point?

I do not follow everyone who follows me – I look at their profile, read some of their tweets and if they interest me I follow them.

If I don’t follow them and they drop off my list I figure it’s because they just wanted to inflate their followers.

I use Twitter as a way to promote my art, my blogs, my businesses online but I make a point to be personal and pop in to tweet something about what I’m doing or working on every day – either directly on Twitter or from Ping.fm.

This last few weeks I’ve been telling followers about my Easy Greeting Cards service and posting my designs – I find it an effective way to “get the word out” on new products and services.

BTW, do you use Twitterfeed?

Beverly, not set rule you have to follow everyone. I don’t follow those who only have links to their stuff, no conversations with others. Do whatever works best for your style.

I think some follow everyone to get their numbers up, but if there is no interaction, common ground, it is just taking up space, inflated numbers.

Heidi,

You’re right! You just have to jump right in and get a conversation started. I was signed up on Twitter several weeks before i actually became “hooked” because I wasn’t sure how to do anything but now I can’t stop myself

As far as following everyone who follows you, I’m still working on that. I’m still trying to figure out why some people want to follow me.
