The Only Thing You Need to Know About Using Twitter

A contact recently reached out to me with a Twitter etiquette question. Many of the Twitterati have written about “Twittiquette” already, but I see no need for a primer on professional conduct. The people behind the “@” signs that you interact with on Twitter are exactly that — people (with the exception of Sockington and the Mars Phoenix). My response to the question in question was simple.

The only thing I ever suggest to people about using Twitter is to be human (even if you’re representing your company) and be helpful. Stick to those principles and you can’t go wrong.

That’s it. Shortest blog post you’ll ever read.

    That’s a long blog post, Jamie.

    Excluding the title, you wrote 624 characters. C’mon now, a post about Twitter can’t be more than 140.
