Very nice concept. I was initially surprised to see write page after logging into the wordpress dashboard of this site. Then I realized this is supposed to be tips sharing crowdsourcing stuff. I will try to contribute whenever I can.

5 random thoughts

1. Twitter should be an extension of your social media communications plan, and a connector throughout the plan

2. Just because you’re followed by 45,052 people, it doesn’t they all want to buy your product

3. Aim to be followed by ONLY people who could buy or influence to buy your product/service

4. Twitter is becoming more populated, everyday there is more quality content for you to compete with

5. It won’t be the marketing magic you’ve been looking for, but it will extend your current activity

Stop feeding the crazy

In times of disaster, such as the Victorian bushfires or the Mumbai attacks, there are several useful things you can do.

You can lead by example and pass on useful information, like dedicated twitter feeds or advice.
Or you can endlessly be part of the rabble, call for the perpretrators’ testicles, or mindlessly retweet everything you see.

If you have nothing useful to add then kindly refrain, plsthx.

Anyone who tells you to use a service like this http://microblink.com/2009/02/19/twitter-dmer-customizes-automatic-dms/ is a moron.

If I follow anyone who then sends an automatic DM, and they are always obvious no matter what people may think, my immediate response is to unfollow that person.

Following SilkCharm's suggestion

Hello yesterday I read a very information article for New Twitters by SilkCharm. Great article. I’m have already been doing some of her suggestions and will incorporate others. One suggestion I particularly liked was “hire some one from Twitter Agency”.

That is what this post is about. I’m looking for someone to help me with our Twitter. We’re a nonprofit called the National Canine Cancer Foundation we fund directly to researchers, grants for Cancer research in dogs but research that will directly benefit humans also. If you want more info on that you can read a blog I wrote about it. http://tinyurl.com/bljac9

Back to the point. We started our Twitter account on Jan 28, 2009 and now have today 2566 followers. A good effort for 38 days. And most are dog lovers or in the Pet Industry or Social Media people. We did not just follow anyone and take any followers especially in getting past that 2000 Twitter rule.

I also made a point to personally respond to each person following me and develop a relationship. I would go read their Twitter bio before I sent them a reply for following. Needless to say I worked to 3 and 4am doing this. Working all day and then all night can get to you. I have one person who is helping me with Twitter and LinkedIn but I really need a creative person who understand all aspects of Twitter because I have some creative ideas on how to have Twitter help us raise awareness and funds for canine Cancer research. And I’m looking to hire a like minded person who can hear what I am saying and help build onto that and help create new and unique ways to use Twitter to help a nonprofit with their mission.

To put it another way, I have been labelled by my friends as an Impulsive Visionary. Looking to hire another one.

You can contact me at gnice@wearethecure. My Twitter is wearethecure. Our belief is that if we all work together, We Are The Cure…..for Cancer in Dogs and practtically any other problem this world has.

ok, here’s whats wrong with all thoses guides to twitter. the one’s that tell you to follow everyone and retweet constantly and set up auto replies when people follow you and use auto updating services to post bullshit inspirational quotes in your absence.. they fucking work.

this dude http://twitter.com/waynemansfield is now the 4th most followed australian on twitter. and look at his timeline, auto RT, auto replies, auto inspirational quotes… why would anyone follow such an account?

sorry @rogerchristie but again, fuck that. i get so embarrassed when someone sends me a “thanks for following” reply or dm. i wonder what “how to master twitter” post did you read that from, kawasaki, brogan, or rowse? i am fully aware i followed you, cos i followed you. i don’t need some kind of grovelling thanks “and welcome to my wacky world, strap yourself in” message. sorry to be so abrasive, but after two years on twitter, i’m sick to fuck of seeing a post by an “expert” come out, and the next month watching every new person conform to said post. it drives me mental.
