For me, Twitter is a whole new world. I’ve always been a “big picture” kind of person and the notion that something I put out there might be useful to someone, or a group of someones, is really satisfying.

And the people I follow are really interesting and diverse. That’s reward in itself :)

Excellent advice – especially the part about the “expect nothing in return” approach. Do that and you will build relationships with great people – like you for example :-) In the process you will learn and discover more than you ever imagined.

In fact, you usually get more than what you give, but it comes back to you in ways you never expected. Expect nothing: you’ll never be disappointed and sometimes you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

@John: This is a great advice for anyone on twitter. If nothing else, you may jog the attention of someone who wants to help, comment, or commiserate. And thus a conversation begins…

So if you want more, put in more… Great piece, specially for newbies on Twitter, and in fact any social media service.

I use it on/off. I follow. I have followers. The single most useful thing I have found is to sit down at the beginning of the day with cupa joe in hand and type “Good morning all, today I will…”. To have to summarize a day of work into a single 140 character statement is a wonderful way of prioritizing and focusing.

You are so right… that’s not a Twitter strategy, it’s a life strategy.

Great post.
