People always ask me, how I use Twitter to maximize the power of microblogging. Sadly, there is no magic. To get the most at Twitter, you have to hang around a little longer.
But I know, you don’t have time for that. You’re busy commenting on others blog, blogwalking, updating blog posts and so on. I’m also doing those things. But I have time socializing at Twitter too because I focus!
Focus is the main point here. Without focusing you will gain nothing. Don’t jump here and there doing blog promotions. Try to focus in one or two methods only. Hint, try to use a method that you love to do just like me.
What I’m doing at twitter are -
- I tweet useful link – people love when you’re sharing good informations. So I share cool stuffs with them (often)
- I retweet – That what makes people the Twittersphere go round.
- Replies – when people mention me, I do reply them back.
People follow me not just because of my blog but what I’m tweeting about. I tweet, retweet, respond and dating with my Twitter followers. It shows I’m there to involve in Tweeples community. It shows that my Twitter account is active. Of course I’m a twitter addict!
You can’t just setup a Twitter account and only use it when you want to tweet your blog post.Do you think people will follow you and read your tweet? In your dreams unless you’re Seith Godin. YOU HAVE TO DATING YOUR TWITTER FRIENDS! this rule applies to all social media sites.
Twitter is an ideal way to create a new relationship, foster it and reward your consumer’s loyalty – and top-of-mind awareness. Use it to share news not only about your company, but the industry, national events, etc. Remember: we’re not selling, we’re communicating in a relationship!
Go back to the beginning. Think about your connection to your followers as a relationship and how you can make it better. Share the love!

I agree, the only way to get noticed on Twitter is to notice others. Twitter is a difficult beast to tame sometimes, but once you start giving back to the community you will see results.
Evrything is hard at the first place. But once we used to it becomes easy. Just take an action
salam ziarah, nampaknye tuelaa benda yang aku paling malas nak buat kat tweeter.. haha, nak harapkan org tengok tweet kte.. maneleh kalo aku sendrii pun tak penah2 tgk tweet org lain. hohoho
It;s a good idea, however, not easy for many ppl to date the twitter follower.
Date here doesn’t mean go out somewhere and having a meal or watching movie but, engage with the followers. communicate with them.
agree. I always use twitter just to share some idea and find friends. It good and i like it. Sometimes, we chat with our hp..
