Twitter Etiquette
While tweeting one must look for the etiquettes as misuse and abuse is very much common in Twitter.
Reconsider the Running Commentary: Live tweeting sports matches or meetings / Conferences will aggravate followers who are not expecting their account to be so overtaken or flooded with such messages.
Understand @ replies: Overuse of @ confuse followers. Use an @ reply only when you are adding to a conversation publicly. Instead use a "D" for direct message to particular user.
Go easy on acronyms: It is better to go for full word instead of SMS like acronyms. No matter what, spelling still counts on Twitter.
Think about the Venue: Tweeting about sacred ceremony, court proceedings or funeral is not advised at all. Take permission from the host if you want.
Learn the Lingo: Learn appropriate command for tweeting. Few of the Twitter commands are mentioned below.
Twitter Commands
Here is some reference on how to use and understand Twitter Commands.
@username: The command used for public replies to a tweet by the user noted after the @ sign.
D username: For a direct message to only the user in question. "DM" also works.
RT @username: For Re-tweet or a tweet you want to rebroadcast. Prefaced with the original twitters's user name.
ON username or OFF username: Turns mobile phone notifications on or off for a single user. STOP and QUIT will cut off all Twitter SMS messages for all users.
FOLLOW username and LEAVE username: To see or stop seeing the tweet of a user. Twitter displays a drop down message saying it has carried out your command. However, to really take them off your list, go to their profile and click Remove next to "You follow username".
WHOIS username: Provides a brief information about the user.
GET username: Displays a particular user's most recent tweet.
STAT: Informs you how many followers you have and how many are following you.
Twitter Disasters
Twitter Never Forgets: With a little effort one can digg out your tweets after months even as there is no approval method who follows you. Anybody can read your tweets sometime land you in trouble. So it is better protect your updates. Click settings and check the Protect My Update Box, by which your tweets will not be visible to anyone approved as a follower. But, anything you have tweet out already will be available, especially on third party Twitter interface.
Locking Out Twitter Twits: Never bash a person in Twitter, they can get on you easily. You can make your account protected, block a user on Twitter in the "Action" section on the profile paage removing you from his follower list and prevets your updates from displaying in his page. But your current friends can still copy and paste your tweets or save them through screen capture.
Linking Twitter with Others: It will be disaster if you link Twitter with others like Facebook. So be careful when you link Twitter with other applications. Even your employer or future employer can know about you before you can realize.
Happy Tweeting
