If you want to learn how to use Twitter properly you have
three ways to go about it: teach yourself, get some free
instructions online or pay for it. My son Tweets and he
taught himself, but I had to teach him how to do it
properly because he tried to teach himself. OK, he could
do the basic, but who wants to be happy with the basics of
something with the potential of Twitter.
You can get some free info online on how to use Twitter,
but it's all very basic and you don't learn a great deal -
not any more than anybody else. Me. I went the third way
and never looked back. I decided to pay for it because I
run a few online businesses and several websites, and
wanted to know how I could promote these using Twitter
without upsetting people. You can do the same.
I learned all the basic stuff that I already knew, but with
a bit more besides, such as registration, how to make
tweets and the like. Then I got to the stuff I really
wanted to learn. Like how to get the right kind of
followers for my business and how also to follow the right
kind of people. None of this was difficult, and I should
know because I do difficult. I write difficult stuff and
help others to do difficult stuff, so when I say none of it
was difficult I know what I mean.
Twitter is a wonderful medium in which you can let people
know what you are up to and keep in touch with them if you
want to. You can use it as a marketing medium if you wish,
but most get a great deal of fun and satisfaction just by
using it as a form of online SMS service. There is
absolutely nothing wrong with that, and Twitter is there
for everybody to use as they want to use it.
I even just told a joke on it: took me about a dozen
tweets, but it seemed to go down great. What gets me most
about great services like Twitter is these people that do
nothing that advertise - every tweet is an advert with a
website address on it that you must visit. OK, I do that,
but only about one tweet in ten if that. And that's OK,
because nobody said you can't, and I have had a lot of good
information from Twitter.
Twitter is excellent social networking site, and enables
people of totally different backgrounds, and with different
agendas, to keep in contact with one another. The one great
thing about it is that, if you don't like what the other
guy is tweeting to you, then you can block them out. Simple
as that! Nobody can send you messages if you don't want
them to.
Personally, I don't care a great deal, but I can see how
others would and I would never knowingly spam or annoy any
other Tweeter because it is people like us that keep
services like Tweeter going and keep the World Wide Web
alive and vibrant.
