The Twit's Bible


We all have those people we follow for a few days and then unfollow for what ever reason. The purpose of this article is to teach you how to not fall into this trap. and to lay down some rules regarding Twitter etiquette.

What is Twitter For?
Twitter is your voice to the rest of the world. Twitter is your outlet to express your views and opinions to people you normally would not be able to influence.



Rule #1: Don't Bore The world!
This is the golden rule of Twitter, never ever break this rule. No one cares what you are doing right now. We care what you find interesting right now. So you must change you Twitter mindset from 'what am I doing' to 'what is interesting'.

Rule #2: Don't Spam Your followers.
Recently after following a certain group they sent me several direct messages urging me to sign up for their news letter. I personally found this repulsive and in bad taste, if it had been any other group i would have unfollowed them. Don't do this. 


Rule #3: If You Wouldn't Say It To Your Mother, Don't Put It On Twitter!
If you would not tell it to your mother,why do you think we wan't to hear it. so please keep it clean.

Rule #4: Always Use Hashtags.
Hashtags are God's gift to Twits. They make tweets easier to process.

Here are some other articles about Twitter.
