tweeters. Come up with a network within a network, and you'll be amazed at

select certain topics or sub-topics for notification, so that the topics important
to you will be delivered daily, or however you like.

that can be tough to express yourself, try to avoid too many abbreviations.

lot of people get carried away on Twitter. As a business, you want avoid foul
language.

belligerent on Twitter. Try to avoid arguments by just ignoring them, otherwise

or to link you to their blogs, etc. Most people will oblige if you just ask.

the same by being honest, intimate, and real with your readers. People will
really enjoy the candid postings and stay enthralled.

material on your Twitter page for people to look at and get more information.
