Twitter 101: Tips and Tricks

by Terrence O'Brien on March 26, 2009 at 01:59 PM


How do I get someone to follow me?

Getting people to follow you is the trickiest part of being a Twitter success. We've posted suggestions from Digg's Kevin Rose, and Julia Angwin of the Wall Street Journal, but building a base of followers is as simple (or difficult) as providing interesting content. Whether it's being funny or creative, or just posting lots of links that people find interesting, the ways to get people to follow you mostly have to do with the quality of your tweets. In other words, say something funny or original. If you don't have anything original to say, post a link to something original (a funny video or picture, or an interesting article). And, as we mentioned before, get that beautiful personality of yours in there!
