Look around. You’ll see so many people offering tips on how to do well with twitter. Everyone is interested in Twitter and people are trying to “get the hang of it”. It’s an interesting situation, because Twitter is really rather simple.
It’s a way of having a conversation with people who share similar interests. That’s it. Twitter is talking. Via computer.
Sure, there are differences. When you talk with your flesh and blood friends you can use more than 140 characters at a time, for instance. At its core, though, it’s the same thing we’ve been doing since we progressed past relying on “ughs” back when we all lived in caves.
If you want the best tip for making a splash on Twitter it’s this: Treat it like a conversation. If you do that, everything else will seem to fall into place rather naturally.
If you’re a poor conversationalist, you’ll probably have troubles on Twitter. That’s okay. Consider it an opportunity to improve your social skills. That’s right, “social” skills.
They call it “social networking” for a reason, after all.
