Twitter notes

• Make each Tweet as unique as possible: limit repetition, redundancy
  • Like songs in a playlist, to be played as needed
• Invent clever hashtags to promote your brand
• Use images to promote your brand; put your clever hashtags on the images
• Links in Tweets:
  • Links to your own website, or other URLs you care about — use full URL
  • Links to tweets, or to sites you don't care about — use bit.ly shortener, paste these short links in your tweets
• Be promiscuous — build an audience one non-follower at a time by matching up someone else's tweet with one of your tweets — pick a tweet by a non-follower, then either either "Retweet with comment" or comment on the tweet (as appropriate) — include:
  • The text from one of your tweets
  • Image for that tweet
  • Short URL for the tweet
