Twitter
Jon Payne, Noisy Little Monkey | 19th April 2012

2. TWITTER
Basics – Profiles

3. g
This is my profile

4. First name,
Last name
Bio
Location Web link
Good ratio of
followers to
following
g
This is my profile

5. Where? On Twitter
• Quick! Max 140 Characters
– Actually, only 100 – leave room for comments & RTs
• Sharing blog posts
• Outreach to influencers
• Use #s sparingly
• Quality, quality, quality
• Relevance

6. Tweetiquette
@<name> at the beginning = a reply
This will show up on both your twitter profiles
And in the tweetfeeds of people who follow
BOTH of you
It’s kind of direct, so expect the recipient to see it
140 Characters in the tweet+20 (max) in your twitter name = 160 characters
g
160 characters = maximum size of SMS message (a text message)

7. Tweetiquette
RT@<name> at the beginning = a ReTweet
This will show up on your twitter profile
And in the tweetfeeds of people who follow you
The person you RT’d can also see you did this
g
ReTweeting is a great way to share useful info while giving attribution to the creator

8. Tweetiquette
Some words @<name> = mention
This will show up on your twitter profile
And in the tweetfeeds of people who follow you
And, typically in the tweetfeeds of the person you
mentioned
It’s not very direct though, so don’t expect a reply
g
A mention is less in your face than a reply

9. Tweetiquette
DM @<twittername> is a direct message
These are ‘private’ but are easy to accidentally
share
If you want privacy, use an email
g
You can only DM someone who follows you

10. Tweetiquette
Links show up in long form
Or shortened automatically, to save characters
A link in the middle of a tweet, g
with no @s or #s attracts most clicks

11. Tweetiquette
#s or Hashtags denote ‘keywords’ or ‘topics’ that
people may follow using an automated search
Or for ‘hilarious’ comedy effect
g
#EpicFail

12. Twitter Results
ReTweets and engagement with real people are
what count
Don’t measure ‘Klout’ it’s flaky
Check your Google Analytics for traffic from
Twitter
Doing it properly can take time
g
http://www.google.com/analytics - it’s free

13. TWITTER

14. How do I get g to follow me?
