Welcome to Part 3 of Understanding Twitter! For the past two Saturdays, Joan of Chocolate, Chocolate, and More asked me to talk about what Twitter is and why you should use it. Now I’m going to talk about proper Twitter etiquette. Just like with any social media platform, there are dos and don’ts in using Twitter. Most of these tips are quirks that users, especially me, find annoying. You may agree with the list. You may not. This isn’t a “follow these rules or else” guide. It’s more of a “these things annoy users and may cause them to unfollow you” guide. Even then, following these “rules” can’t guarantee your followers will stay. It’s just meant to give you some perspective from a reader’s standpoint. The biggest thing to remember when using Twitter is to ask yourself “Do my followers really need to read this tweet?” Most of us follow hundreds, even thousands, of Twitter users, so the less clutter you offer someone, the more likely your following will stay (and grow).
