Cool no?

Its human you know

Like any social media talk as if you were standing infront of the person or people. Be a human about it.

Listen before you tweet. And when you tweet, keep listening more than you tweet.

Journalists: don’t spam people on Twitter asking for their contacts e.g. in Mumbai then disappear never to be heard of again until the next disaster/crisis. That’s not engagement, that’s just using people. We break the News, but not so you can sell more ads or get more eyeballs.

again, i’m probably contradicting someone here, but i cant stand seeing those “Welcome new followers @somebody and @someoneelse tweets.” They serve no purpose except to clog up a timeline.

Don’t accidentally broadcast your DM!

If you’re having a private (DM) conversation with someone, make sure you keep it that way. Don’t accidentally broadcast a direct message. I did this once, and it was very embarrassing. I sent my first DM properly, then decided I needed to say something else. But this time, I accidentally sent a normal Tweet instead of a DM. It went out to everyone, completely out of context. Ugh. I still shudder and blush!

Be nice. Even when people are being really silly, responding with humour and a light touch goes a long way. Yelling at them about how they don’t “get social media” just makes enemies not friends. GROUP HUG !!111!!!

The @KevinRuddPM story suggesting they crashed Twitter over fast follower pickup is demonstrably rubbish. They should have said “Something went wrong. We have no idea what. Sorry.”

Honesty, openness, preparedness to fail publicly are key in the hyperconnected world.

for the most part people on twitter (apart from the bots) just want you to have a conversation with them - reciprocity is important

It sounds obvious (hopefully it is) but if not… be yourself.

Your personality shines through even in 140 characters. If you’re feigning to be someone else - something else - people will know and be extremely distrustful of the information you provide.
