Twitter and Waste the Hours in an Off-Hand Way...*
Authored by: masodo on Thursday, October 09 2014 @ 03:11 PM EDT

In addition to philosophical advice I should probably add some practical tips to interactions with your fellow tweetaholics [smiley:;)]

I think it is only polite to thank those who have seen fit to re-tweet your tweets. Many users like to save-up the thanks and create a packaged thank you where they tag all users who have shared their content for the week. Of course I am not getting re-tweeted all that much and generally take the time to reply to a retweet with a heartfelt "Cool Beans!"

Hashtags are useful if you would like to somehow categorize your Tweet. You can invent your own hashtag (i.e. #MyLittleHashTag) and a searh of Twitter on that tag will get you what you seek. If you wish to join a larger public conversation adding a generally mass adopted hashtag for the subject might get you noticed by those outside of your immediate circle of influence.

One of the more commonly used hashtags that I try to submit is for what has been deemed "Follow Friday" or hashtag [ #FF ]. It is a relatively popular practice to send out a Tweet on Friday that is simply the hashtag followed by user tags of those you would like to bring to the attention of your followers. This is often new followers but may also be old friends. I try to include those that I have enjoyed following for the week and/or those that I have had more interactions with. Although you can send out multiple tweets to get all the folks you would like to represent I recommend limiting yourself to the 140 characters of a single tweet to add value to your recommendations. It is good sport then to try to visit many of those recommendations from those you follow and see if any discoveries are to be had. It is also good sport to re-tweet those #FF Tweets that include you if you find the accompanying suggestions to be reasonable.

You will find that there are a ton more games to play in the land of the Blue Birds but this is pretty much where I am with it.

I replied to this comment in my head and so I shall now take the bold move to actually place text on screen having remembered that other people cannot always read the musings of my mind *laughs*. In as much as - thank you for all the tips. I'm still finding it a tad confusing, and have had to stop following a few people because they tweet too much *laughs some more*. Once again, thank you masodo. I am about to spread your own fame a little by featuring something of yours on the Cloud ;)
