Twitter can be a baffling and overwhelming social media platform. As a Twitter user, you would benefit greatly by learning the decorum of the Twitter community. It can be a wonderful tool for developing relationships based on mutual and new interests.
Gentle Reminders for Interacting on Twitter
Interacting on Twitter and making connections is about showing interest in others and engaging in conversation.
Twitter etiquette is a delicate balance of being social and genuine.
Follow people who share your interests but also take some risks and follow someone outside your immediate circle. Include people you can learn from and who share compelling meaningful tweets.
Whether you use Twitter for fun or business, you want to genuinely interact with people. Always post thoughtfully.
Engagement is the name of the game.
Be social, engage, and have a sense of humor.
Avoid complaining and stirring up unnecessary drama.
Carefully analyze each tweet and ask what message are you sending. Negativity will turn your followers off.
Avoid misspellings and poorly worded messages.
Avoid using internet slang and voicing your opinion is all caps. In internet language, all caps imply yelling.
What’s rude in real life is considered rude on Twitter as well.
Keep in mind every post is a reflection of who you are.
