Top 7 mistakes new Twitter users make

March 10th, 2009

The top 7 mistakes new Twitter users make – If I wrote a “top mistakes new Twitter users make” post, it would be exactly like this one. It covers the important basics like #2 Protecting updates, #3 No updates and #7 No avatar. While I can understand joining a social network can be overwhelming, these are several actions you should take in order to have the best experience possible.

If I could add anything to this post, I’d add #8 No interaction. So often I see new Twitter users Tweet often, but not to anyone. Kudos if they have a link, but it’s essential to interact with the community, instead of assuming the community will interact with you. I know it can be awkward at first, but it really becomes second nature after a while.

Welcome!

Hi, thanks for stopping by.

The past year has brought about many changes -- one, I'm no longer at the Chicago Tribune. After a great two years there, I've moved on to Creative Director at Consumer Media Network. I'm also no longer "acmaurer" technically, since I married my best friend in June '11. I'm now Amanda Woodhead, but between you, me and the Internet, I'll always be acmaurer. So thanks again for stopping by, and here's to some great conversations.

Want to find me on the Web? I'm acmaurer on most social news and networking sites.
PS, I doubt I have to say this, but this is my personal blog and doesn't reflect the opinion of my employer.
