Loved your tips – I guess the only big difference with mine http://bit.ly/beginners was whether you should have a clear idea of your goals. What I love about Twitter is that it offers something back for almost any ‘goal’ that arises – I never actually focused on the ‘whys’ and just got on with ‘how’.

Darren, great thoughts here. When i 1st got on Twitter i really had no idea why i was using it or what i should be using it for. when i came back a 2nd time i spent more time figuring it out.

I share some thoughts about my Twitter beginnings here: http://budurl.com/twitter1st

Darren, your articles in regards to Twitter are all wonderful and I’m currently reading through them all. I am finding a great deal of wonderful information which is something I usually do not find in other articles. I am a Twitterpated Twitter addict that just signed up a few weeks prior, I use it for everything as a detail to my random life. I suggest that users who are new find their nitch and they always can find one if they look inside to find just what they wish to use Twitter for. It’s 140 characters but there is nothing that says, it can’t be random. http://www.twitter.com/glamorousamanda

Darren, thank you for this article. Although you wrote it 8 months ago, it’s still very relevant for me today. Thanks for the education.

I think that twitter will help my exposure. However it can be overwhelming at first. Your tips are a great place to start.

I haven’t been on twitter too long and so I haven’t really seen the benefit of it yet. Thanks for the info and I am going to take a look at some of the other twitter posts you highlighted here!

I am new to Twitter and I have found your article very helpful. Even more helpful were all of the links to additional information. Thanks.

your tips are very practical and useful. I like the words written by you —- I do promote my posts on Twitter – but I try to balance them with other natural and organic conversation as well.

I was disappointed to see that I can’t sign into twitterfeed without using OpenID. For the life of me, I can’t see why I should have an OpenID. Seems like just a way to track someone’s subscriptions on various sites. It doesn’t seem to add one bit of security.

Oh, well, guess I don’t need twitterfeed.

Crap, wish I’d have seen this before I started using twitter, lol!

However, at least now I understand the concept a little better. Thanks for the tips, Darren. Now let me check out the other posts regarding twiiter.

Great Entry. This same logic can be applied to any social networking site.

Great tips. I’ve been using Twitter for some time to update my personal blog with little tidbits on what I’ve been doing. My friends and family like it. But I wanted to know more about how to use it, so this is very helpful.

Count me among the Twitter skeptics. I don't get it. It seems that Twitter is blogging for the lazy. It takes much less effort than a blog post, so it appeals to more people. The downside is, of course, that the signal-to-noise ratio plummets. No thanks!

I’m not even one of the 3 that just started. I’m heading over there now to join, so this is perfect timing for me – thanks!

Thanks for this timely article. As a “newbie” on Twitter, Facebook, and the whole Internet marketing process, it’s been wildly awakening. So much trivia can be quickly sorted through to good information for any niche or purpose. It’s worth it to also acknowledge and appreciate those sharing.

You’re right on on all the components I find necessary!

Enjoying what I read about you, from you, you’re appreciated!

You’re a breath of fresh air, have so much to share & THE ONE to follow;-D You can be sure your provocative, content rich articles’ll be in my searches in this learning curve.

Respectfully,

Zna Trainer

I’m still not overly convinced by Twitter. I can see some benefits but it seems to need to be backed by being quite an established blogger. I have used it sparingly so far but am photographing a big 2 day music festival in Australia this w/e (Splendour In The Grass) and plan to use it to post micro-reviews and notes from the site, more as an aid memoire for myself for writing the more indepth blogs a day or two after the festival.
