Does that dot (.) thing in front of a name work to get your message broadcast to that person’s followers or is that an urban legend?

Great post, Mark. Really clear, as always. Like that you organized it into “beginner” and “pro.” Wish I’d had this info when I was starting out.

Like that you talk about the idea of retweeting lots of people. It’s definitely a tendency to retweet the same people, and spreading RTs around is better for sure.

My take on scheduling tweets is different from yours. I do it so a bunch of my tweets don’t go up at once. I’m on Twitter for bursts at a time during the day. That’s when I curate, and I could, without the scheduling feature, send out a bunch of tweets at once, but I don’t want to dominate the stream – I generally don’t like when I see 5 tweets in a row from someone, so I don’t want to do it myself. That’s my humble opinion

I’m going to check out The Tao of Twitter. Great title!

Susan

Mark, I’ve following this advice after reading your book, “The Tao of Twitter.” It works: I’m gaining more followers, and organizing those I follow into relevant lists frees up time as well.

This makes perfect sense, but on the tweet scheduling, what if your schedule is always out of whack? No harm in scheduling your tweets for the day, then when you find time, search and rt others, right? Sounds very efficient to me. And your actual online time is dedicated to others rather than trying to balance ‘me’ time and ‘them’ time.

Great advice, Mark. I will definitely have to share it with all the folks who tell me “social media takes too much time.”

At your service,

Thanks for the article @Mark. I’m one of the few people who understand SM in our office, especially Twitter. So many people come to me with a dazed and confused look on how to get started. This helps me give them a launching point.
