Social media is always a mystery for me. The more I involved, the more I explore. Dont you think today’s attention is focused on popular recreational social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. People who jumped into social media early have been developing guidelines and standards ad hoc, but it makes sense to analyze their progress. Most of the people think that all the platforms perform same functions (misconception). Yes! that is the BIG mistake people do and that’s why they don’t get the right result from any platform. Recently I saw an email from a friend asking about how to get the fine result from Twitter?
Well this was the most interesting email for me because I was also new at Twitter. But for a favor, I researched about how to use twitter. I figured out that most of us don’t know about what are the common do’s and dont’s? Today I want to share that research with all my friends and readers.
Your twitter account should be an extension of your personality. If you are not using your own picture or company logo this will be a big mistake. People respond to personalities, show that there is a human behind those tweets. If you have been exhausted by tweeting, try alternate options. Use automatic tweet system if you are not available. This will help you out but don’t leave your twitter alone. Timing your tweets give you a larger reach and makes you look much more professional. Your tweet should be creative. Nobody cares about you, if there is nothing to grab their attention.Your followers are the treasure for you so don't loose them with these small mistakes.
People want to hear something new and exciting; a RT is something that has been said already. Use them sparingly. Twitter is the best social media platform for starting a conversation with new people. This can have a positive impact on your other potential Twitter followers. I hope these entire mistakes you guys avoid doing and making twitter more useful for yourself or your company. Best of luck!!!

Nice post Miss Ashifa. Is there a chatting facility on twitter?
Thanks for appreciating. Yes there is a chatting facility on Twitter but its not a private place to chat :) Ali
Another great article, this time about Social Networking and in particular Twitter. I think Twitter can have many uses depending on how you choose to adopt its functionality. A news journalist in the middle of a war zone might use it to give yoyu up to the minute news of whats going on on the war zone. On the other hand an ecommerce business could use it to announce up to the minute offers. So for me Twitter is about the abillity to push information to a grough of custommers, followers, whatever you want to call them. And this is ofcourse is a leap forward from the days when information was not being pushed to us but we had to go look for it, perhaps y visiting someones website.
