The most valuable advice about Twitter

When I started using Twitter, not so long ago, only in October, last year, I did it because I was curios, but the last push was given by @valentinaneacsu who recommended me to try and see what’s it all about. After some time I became hooked on it, then I tried to cut back a little and now, I think that am reaching what is a balance for me, or at least for the time being.

During my first twitter days I read a lot of “advices” and how-to’s about Twitter, and among these there is one that I consider most valuable, and it is, as many good advices, quite simple.

Take it slow!

That’s it! I don’t know where I’ve read it, probably in more then on places. It could of been TwitTip or some other place. Maybe these are not the exact words. But it is so true! All you have to do is to take it slow, start small, then look at what people are doing. Don’t follow 1000 people, start with you friends, or people you’ve heard about. See how they interact with the community. Add people slowly and this will give you the opportunity to find your own voice, to adapt and see what’s fun and OK for you and what’s not.

There’s one more think I would add to this great advice, and that is: Use your common sense!
If you read tips about Twitter, that’s great, but do things your way and use your common sense. It will tell you how you should interact with the others. You are who you are, you are unique and that gives you the right to have your own voice. But in the same time use your common sense and respect the others, this way it will be more fun for everybody.
