Editor's Notes

  1. ReTweets may be endorsements; you may agree with what is being said, and would like to share that with your Timeline. Other times, you may completely disagree with what is being said, and may RT to again, share with your Timeline, and potentially spark conversation from that. The ‘Like’ option, formally known as the ‘Favourite’ option, performs the function the way that the name suggests, you ‘like’ a particular tweet that has been shared on your Timeline. You may also like to refer to that tweet again in future, and by Liking the tweet, it would be easier for you to find.
  2. People must want to read your tweets. In a nutshell, you must create a good user experience for someone that reads your tweets.
  3. When someone thinks about the people that they follow, you should come to mind. Having a presence on Twitter, especially for someone that has a career involving digital media, is important.
  4. Anything from news accounts, to the happenings of the world that you have read about or heard from, from other people, would be good for you to share. That keeps you relevant amongst your Twitter peers, and shows that you are aware of your surroundings.
  5. When your name, or in this case your Twitter handle comes to mind, people should be able to identify who you are and what you are about.
  6. Tweet about things that make you human at the end of the day. For example, things that happened during the day.
  7. Humour is a great way to connect with people, and helps increase relevance amongst your Twitter peers.
  8. Using your phone or your desktop, you are able to see which of your tweets had the most impressions and engagements, which helps you determine what you should tweet about more. It also gives you detailed information on the rest of your Twitter statistics, which includes things like your audience and reach.
  9. You never know who is watching. There are a lot of opportunities, such as jobs, that can come your way just through the way that you tweet, and how represent yourself.
