10commandments
I. Thou shalt not tweet more than 25 times a day. This ruins everyone else's ambient intimacy with their group.
| II. Thou shalt not split your message over multiple tweets*. That's what blogging is for. |
|
| III. Thou shalt not treat Twitter like a private chat room*. That's what IRC is for. |
|
| IV. Thou shalt not engage in lengthy one-on-one conversations in Twitter*. That's what Instant Messaging is for. |
|
| V. Thou shalt not forget that the question being asked is "What are you doing?" |
|
| VI. Thou shalt not be too boastful or pompous. Arrogance is offensive in real life, and Twitter is no different. |
|
| VII. Thou shalt learn how to use the short commands properly (e.g. @, L:, d, #, -- and ++). Start here: http://tinyurl.com/yrxjgu |
|
| VIII. Thou shalt type people's usernames correctly (e.g. @Casablanca); else the 'replies' function doesn't work. |
|
| IX. Thou shalt welcome new users publicly and with enthusiasm; this helps them make connections so they can share the excitement. |
|
| X. Thou shalt assume that everyone following you is following no more than 150 people or less - http://tinyurl.com/ly6vw |

| * Unless thou art being very funny or entertaining |
