Five Basic Tips For Using Twitter:
- If you steadily build the list of people you follow, your followers will eventually grow too - this is because it's Twitter etiquette to follow those who follow you. You can start by following us! http://twitter.com/GraphicsOnline
- With a 140-character limit, don't waste space with long web addresses. Use a URL shortener like http://bit.ly/ to create shortened links that you can insert into your tweets.
- Using the @ symbol before someone's Twitter username is how to initiate public "conversations" in Twitter. Example tweet: @GraphicsOnline did a great job on my new website!
- To make it easy for people to find your tweets on a particular subject, add a # to keywords. For example: @GraphicsOnline rule at #GoldCoast #webdesign
- Twitter's known for being casual and irreverent, so loosen your tie a little and try not to be overly sales-like. Have fun and tweet regularly!
