Twitter for Beginners

March 27, 2009 by admin

David Griner over at The Social Path published a good post earlier this month on how to get started with Twitter. It's a post that should get a fair amount of traffic. Your first few days on Twitter can be discouraging and puzzling.

Griner starts out with six items you should put on a "to do" list. Learn to use the reply button; figure out how you can tell when someone replies to one of your tweets. Give some real thought to your ID (and get a picture to replace the "0_o" thingie). The list goes on.

Griner also gives a few "don'ts" to remember. Don't spam people with sales pitches. Don't set up auto-DM (direct messages) because they go to email inboxes instead of the Twitter page and, well, people hate them.

You can read the full article here. It's worth the time.

    Interesting to contrast these tips with what worked for me http://bit.ly/beginners (focusing on practical things to do in getting started, rather than the mechanics of how it works)
