  1. Be wary of cryptic replies to tweets if you want new people to follow you
  2. Don't click on unknown links without an explanation
  3. Use Twitter's search to find followers in your town
  4. Going networking in the real world? Tweet about it!
  5. Only Twitter users following each other can send Direct Messages (DMs)
  6. Tweets beginning with @ are only seen by followers of the author and recipient
  7. Never list your #followfriday choices - always give reasons why
  8. Be sure to shorten URLs! We prefer HootSuite (affiliate) - ht.ly/aJfDw
  9. People RT because they want to, but it is okay to sparingly ask Pls RT
  10. Keeping tweets at 120 characters or less aids RTs
  11. Give credit when retweeting (via @DailyTwitTips) for example
  12. RT, RT & RT - Retweets are the oil that keeps Twitter turning - do it often.
  13. Still tweet at weekends - the audience differs and you'll reach more people
  14. On #ff or #followfriday say why people should follow someone
  15. Repeat after me... Don't repeat tweets too often!
  16. Do send a welcome DM, but NEVER include a weblink - its spammy!
  17. Following back is like saying 'hello', unfollow if you dislike the chatter.
  18. Questions encourage replies so do ask what people think?
