9. • Twitter is about connecting, not status updates…
is the new 140 – leave some room! And when
125 is not used – MT!
• Say “thank you” to those who respond to you – it fills
their “buckets”! Use !
• Don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for advice!
• Schedule to meet other Tweeters at conferences –
i.e. “Tweet Ups”.

you do, what you enjoy, and a link
• If using professionally: Institution, link to
blog/Facebook/LinkedIn, Strengths and/or MBTI
• Separate the “trash” from the “treasure”
• Do spot checks on who is following you
• Google your name and Twitter handle occasionally
