The short and “tweet” of it, Lynn …

I’ll simply ‘second’ Amy Miyamoto’s remarks!

Great post. I agree with lindastacy, and also don’t follow strangers with nothing in their profile. It’s very much like a first impression on a first date, either you “have them at hello” or not. Tools like tweetdeck definitely help stay organized and prevent Twitter burnout.

Great list!. My biggest reason for unfollowing someone is different people who are promoting the same “get more followers” CB products. Twitter traffic machine in particular. Funny thing is that this product is listed at CB and if you really wanted to buy it you can do it with your own afflink. There are many free resources to get more followers and these people seem to be promoting this product just to get their money back. Pretty excessive.

I have a question for other Twitters – Why *DO* you want to gain more followers?

Personally I want more followers to go to my blog and eventually be able to create an email list. @Ryan700

What a great idea! This is something I wish I would have thought to do – kicking my self for not going out of the box. Nice work!

Good point ‘Speed’. I often look at the profile/bio in the top right corner before I decide whether to follow someone or not. It helps to include your name, location & website at least.

No, no, no, no, no. I want to trigger your creativity.

Thank you, but I stink at guessing games. My schedule is a little too tight this week, or I would consider entertaining the offer. Feel free to contribute to the topic at hand here via comment if you like.

I didn’t realize how important it is to add to your Twitter profile. It makes a lot of sense. After all, who would follow someone without a good profile, specially if they are strangers…After reading the list (most of which are in themselves great suggestions) I plan on updating my profile. Also, I will keep away from things such as smilies as suggested by @FaireNews.

No, no, no, no, no.
I want to trigger your creativity. So when you come up telling me some of your solutions to that question I tell you some of mine. I like private email exchange for that. So you have my email.

What do you think I COULD mean by ‘gold’.

The gold? I’m not sure what you’re asking…

So any tactic to know how to find out the gold fast, effective and easily?

This is very valuable information as I am new to Twitter and still getting a feel for how it will be useful for my VA business.

Hi Cindi,
Almost every day I see a tweet looking for a VA or outsourcing specific tasks. Twitter should prove be a great asset to you in your line of work!

In a Business Week article on Twitter this week, they said it may not be mentally possible for a person to keep with the lives of more than 150 people.

Interesting point, Wade. I dont pretend to keep up with all 250+ people that I follow on Twitter, but it makes for something interesting in the timeline just about any time of the day or night. Fortunately we can use Twitter Search (formerly Summize.com) to browse topics or find conversations by keyword/name anytime, which helps.
