How to Avoid Twitter Cluelessness

Over at the American Express Open Forum blog, I explain how to not look clueless on Twitter. The first five ways are:

1. Don???t tell other people how to tweet.

2. Don???t tell the world that you unfollowed someone.

3. Don???t ask people why they unfollowed you.

4. Don???t constantly tweet mundane updates and babble.

5. Don???t use a small picture for an avatar.

To read all ten and why they impugn your intelligence, click here

Great post guy! Very simple list to follow and understand. I think people are missing the human element when reaching out to their followers. It’s amazing to see who is really trying to reach out and who is just trying to sell you something every minute of the day.
