Conversationalize

On the early period of being in Twitter, the process of getting used to it might end up, being addicted to it.

Yes, it’s true! Like any other social networking sites, Twitter is addicting once you get familiarized with it. Plus, the fact that Twitter is a micro-blog, you’ll surely post updates of your life from time to time therefore flooding your timeline.

In Twitter, there’s no limit on how many tweets you’re allowed to send every day. But to make sure that you’re giving your followers the quality posts they needed, tweet an average of 20-30 messages a day. That will do. Or else, you might want to be tagged as a human spammer.

Twitter not only gives you power to announce to the whole world what are you up to. It also gives you freedom on how to be a good conversationalist.

In order to make new friends, it is nice that you’re also interested with them. So, try to be a nice guy to everyone. Check their posts and if you find them interesting, reply. There’s no other way to befriend someone than approaching them. And here on Twitter, replying on their tweets is the nicest approach.

But be careful in replying here and there. Just reply with those tweets that are answerable. Or, give a response to clarify something on someone else’s tweet, to give your feedback or to offer a help. Don’t just reply as if you’re an automated response application. It’s a big NO! NO! to someone misinterpreting your account as a spam. So please, avoid that! Try to mix up your tweets with daily stories, then replies to your Twitter friends and also some links that you might want to share with your followers.

Newbies in Twitter all wanted to have numerous followers so, by analysis; they follow everyone across the world wide web that they encounter.

If you’re really into Twitter, wanted to gain new friends and be updated every now and then with what’s the world is going on, then, follow everyone in a condition that you check first their timelines.

Check if their tweets are not spams. Check if they are really humans not machines that send automatic tweets to spam your network. Check their bio and their networks – their followers and followings.

And for you not to be tagged as a spammer, tweet interesting stuff, share links and reply to other’s tweets.

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?’
