9 Advanced Twitter Tips | Mobile and Social Media
Posted on 22. Jul, 2009 by hilzfuld in Web inShare46 Over my last year on Twitter, I tweeted 9 tips that I realized were important and not discussed anywhere. They seemed to help a lot of people, so I figured I would put them in a blog post. These are not tips for beginners, I am going to be using terms like RT, Tweetdeck, Twitter Search, Friendfeed and others.

Not just what they @reply specifically to me. But I seem to be in the minority here. This raises three very interesting questions: 1) Why do they follow so many people in the first place? 2) Why don’t they unfollow those whose tweets they’re not interested in? 3) What does it matter? Why follow thousands of people to begin with? As far as I can tell, there are just six possible reasons: 1) They follow people who look interesting, fully intending to read their tweets; 2) They return all (or most) of the follows they get, simply out of courtesy or because they think that’s just what you do; 3) They return follows because they don’t want to be unfollowed for not reciprocating; 4) They follow people simply to encourage return follows, thereby building their own follow count; Why does it matter?
