5 Reminders On How Twitter Works...
...at least from my experience.
1. Twitter is Real Time
Expect "spoilers" when you are on Twitter. Do log out if you do not want to see news about something that you are watching that has a delayed telecast. People at the event may live tweet and the latest news will spread quickly. Do not sour grape if you see tweets congratulating a winner when what you're watching is delayed.
2. Private Profiles Remain Private
Rant all you can and tag all you can but if your profile is private, unless you are being followed by the one you want to rant to, then your tweet will not get out of the privacy setting that you set. Do not expect brands to see your complaint when you are not even public.
3. Learn to Attribute Content
If you do not want to be called a plagiarizer, or even a famewhore, credit the person who took the picture or wrote the quote. Be genuine and please don't copy tweets. The search function is very powerful, and it is so easy to spot those who can't generate original content. It's not so hard to cite your source.
4. Not Everything Will Trend
Not because you put it online, it will spread like wildfire. What you put out is very important, and of course, your reputation. Number 3 is a great contributor to how reputable you are on Twitter.
5. Respect the Other's Cyberspace
You may not like the other person's 100 selfies per hour but that doesn't mean that they do not have the right to post what they want on their account. It is their account, after all. Unless what's posted is illegal, it's best that we self-regulate. Yes, that person's account may be tasteless but you were not forced to follow him/her. There's always the mute button, and you can always unfollow. It is your account. Don't stress over useless matters just because you want attention.
