This is great advice! I am just delving into the Twitter world and there are some great notes and resources here. I think you’re totally right about finding a nice mix between work and fun. Thank you!

This is a valuable essay. You should get twitter to put it on their site. I had my first account banned because I was following anyone with "Obama" in their bios or in their twits. It took me days to manually add these people. And I doubt I got past 1%, but once I got to 1000 follows I was banned. Oooppppsss. I wrote an email, apologized, and asked for the account to be reinstated. A month or two later (after 2 more emails), I finally got a form letter telling me why I was banned. No they didn't unsuspend the account either. Thier call on the second part, poor customer service on the first. I'm not sure I get twitter yet, being too old, but I'm trying. And having my first account banned, getting no response from them, almost made me decide it was bunk. Still could be bunk, but I'll hang out for a bit. p.s. followed you. OMG, Christopher L.

This is a pretty good how to! I get PR people all the time tweeting me and its pretty annoying. If you are human and interact with me, I will be more likely to listen to you and help you out if I like your product.

otherwise, i tell everyone you suck.

[...] Twittah, Plz: The Power of the Twitter Community (OMG. OMG. OMFG.) "There seems to be a bit of tension between people who use Twitter to further themselves in their industry and those who use Twitter for fun. I have been told a few times by people that they like my blog and wish my tweets were a little more industry-focused: the amount of oversharing and, yes, dick jokes, just isn’t conducive to achieving their goals on Twitter.

As the "voice" of the Resideo.com Twitter account -- @resideo -- I do my best to interact with our Twitter community, as well as pass along information that we feel is valuable and important to all travelers. We also seek out folks who are publicly asking for "help" in finding a room. And we try to do it all in a non-threatening, non-spammy way, and I think we've succeeded. We have a relatively small number of followers & followees, but it's growing, and we're excited about the possibilities. Thanks!

Excellent piece. RTing right now.

I think the piece about relationships is key. A PR person who comments back about a pic of my dog is much more human to me and therefore likely to get greater access when they do want to sell me something.

I have noticed TONS of people getting suspended. They add me, I try to check out their profile and poof their gone. Crazy.

Very good post. I use twitter for business in one sense... as I am trying to build my network and get to know people. On the other hand, the blatant advertisements, from those who do not participate in the community do grate on my nerves. I am seeking the balance, not only in myself, but in those that I follow and those that follow me. I have blocked my first account just recently, and know there will be many more to come... Thank you . OMG, NookieNotess last blog post: Camping Out: Erotica Audio
