It is recommended to start with the twitter beginners guide as that is choc full of hints, tips and tricks that have been gathered through a probloggers way of blogging and next there is a section devoted to attracting new followers which is what a lot of people want from Twitter, secondly the next most important aspect of being a twit is to get some Twitter tools to further your tweeting experience, what with tweetdeck and other tools that do benefit the tweet process.

There's also a review of the Twitter Marketing Ebook which by all accounts is one good book which will tell you everything you need to know when twittering and in fact one of the best posts over there explains about using Twitter to launch a productand that's one benefit of using this blogs highly relevant information for any online business.

More than just providing twitter related content this blog is fast becoming the go to place for twitter users with over 80,000 followers and over 30,000 RSS subscribers already and also there are some great contributions from some expert twitter users which is a nice touch and a great community of twits.

There are some Twitter tips that you should know and the first one is the use of the Hashtag "#" this is the tag that comes before a certain word or phrase and it helps for your tweet to be archived in a keyword search related to that tag, so for example if I simple did #twitter it would go in a list with all other tweets about twitter that have included that hashtag.

Also the @ tag can be used to reference another twitterer or even a company name, so try and use these on your tweets, remembering that you only have 140 characters to type something memorable in your short tweets.

Another tip is to not promote products on every tweet, it's best to mix up your tweets, with other things which could include:-

• What you are currently doing
• Events
• Blog posts
• Products
• Special offers
• other peoples websites or blog posts
• fun stuff

The choice is yours. I've seen some twits promoting products every 5 minutes which is something that I don't do at all as it just comes across as desperate, instead just think about what you tweet and whether it is relevant to your followers.
