I am still learning each time I read a Tweet on Twitter or make a mistake. Yet, there are bloggers like Problogger who has mastered some great Twitter techniques. For example, I attempt to post things that folks that follow me might want to hear. But I am careful to take time and retweet interesting tweets that are appearing at that moment.
When you think about it Twitter is just like face to face discussions in a group. When I facilitate a group I am careful to encourage the silent folks in the group to say something. At the same time I try to discourage domination by one or two people in the group.
In addition, most groups work best when the size is small and not huge. So, I am not under compulsion to have a BIG TWITTER LIST.
Well, I never want to be the person who just talks about me, me and more me in a group. Nor, do I want to be the quiet person all the time that does not feel my content has worth. So, those things stay on my mind when I am on Twitter.
Of course, I must admit, sometimes I go on Twitter when I feel like the pixels in my brain are frozen from fatigue. Then Twitter becomes therapy.
You are THE Twitter expert in my book! You guided me through my first tweet, but I have to confess I’ve been a reluctant student. I promise to reform and, with you as my guide, will get the hang of it some day!
You will be just fine. Send me a tweet every day for two weeks about an accomplishment.
