Twittering Tips for Beginners – Pogue’s Posts Blog – NYTimes.com.

Best part:

I found one rule, though, that answered a long-standing question I had about Twitter: “Don’t tweet about what you’re doing right now.” Which is weird, since that’s precisely how the typing box at Twitter.com is labeled: “What are you doing?”

Great article.

Twitter is a great way to increase your brands awareness, but it is also very important to have the correct type of followers – they have to be interested in what you have to offer.

So somebody who blogs about home improvement, and somebody who tweets about the NASA space station do not have anything in common via Twitter.

The moto is simple, make friends who have something in common, just like you would in real life .
