Building your network in Twitter is just like building your network on other social networking sites. The only difference is that, here in Twitter, you’re always answering the magic question ‘What are you doing now?’
So, to attract more followers and to make new friends, make sure that you’re giving them quality updates. Prove to them that you’re a human and not a spammer that uses this tool to get into your accounts. Talk about something you like or something new to you, something cool. Feel free to use Twitter as if it’s your river of thoughts. This is, primarily, an advantage in having a Twitter account.
But, make sure that you’re not giving them pertinent information. Stalkers are out there. You might want to know how obsessed they are in getting important information. So, while knowing well your followers, think first before tweeting.
