Twitter Guide: Talking in < 140 spaces
Welcome! You flew in from twitter, right? I first put this guide together in March 2008, a few weeks after getting serious about setting up a twitter profile. Back then, there weren’t that many people on twitter, but today twitter’s becoming a must-participate communications tool for businesses, non-profits, entrepreneurs and well, almost anybody. In August 2009, Ragan asked me to present “twitter 101” at their Social Media Bootcamp. Here’s my presentation. If you have questions about twitter, feel free to leave a comment here or send a message via twitter to @wiredprworks.

After meeting “The Demon Bride of Twitter,” who credits this mirco-blogging tool for her serendipitously vibrant life on all levels, I decided to twitter-ize, too. Follow me on Twitter When I asked her to share top tips, she advised me to follow at least 40 people, keep the stream onscreen at all times and search Google for how-tos.
I’ve spent the better part of today following the Demon Bride’s advice. Now, I’d like to share this list of resources with you.

Wow, what a list! There’s an eBook available, too, targeted towards non-profits, but the principles apply…it’s at corporatedollar.org (I’m not affiliated in ANY way, other than I downloaded the book and found it helpful) and it’s called “Twitter Jump Start.” You may find it as helpful as I did.

I like using Twitter because I’d able to meet new people, they follow me and I follow them… also it helps drives traffic to a website.

There comes a time when a person just has to say “enough is enough”. As a longtime proponent of the “do follow” movement, it really pains me to revert this blog back to “nofollow”. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then feel free to stop reading and go somewhere else.

I’ve been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is beautiful price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the internet will likely be much more useful than ever before.
