It’s Your Twitter, Tweet How You Want To

Started by Shey · 3 months ago

I’m pretty new to Twitter compared to some folks who have been on for a year and even longer. But along the way I’ve learned a lot about how to use Twitter from personal experience and listening to what others have to say about Twitter etiquette.

    I think the main think you need to consider on Twitter (as with anywhere else on the web) is how you manage your reputation. Just don't do anything that could come back and bite you in the rear at a later date.

    Great post.

    Shey, I am 100% with you on this one. I recently wrote my own set of VERY sarcastic 'rules' for Twitter.

    Rules? HA! I laugh at rules on the internet. Common courtesy, just like in the 'real' world, will do just fine. After that, each person has the right to their own experiences.

    great post :)

    @Trula @Zoe thanks!

    @Colin You're absolutely right; you've got to think before you tweet — you never know who you may piss off next!

    My golden Twitter rule...actually my general rule for anything that can be documented: Assume your Mom will read whatever you write and act accordingly.

    Forget rules -- most of the "rules" I've seen published were other people telling me how *I* should use Twitter to enhance *their* experience.

    It's simple courtesy. Like what you mentioned about starting tweets with the "@" for webusers. When sending multiple "@"s, I've even been known to see which of the recipients was on the web (instead of twhirl or snitter) so I could line them up first.
