Twitter Tips and Resources – Part 65

Posted on 18 February 2012

This is Part 65 of an ever-growing blog series, with each post featuring links to 10 useful, funny and/or provocative articles/lists/blog posts/videos/sites I’ve come across about how to use twitter more effectively (and how NOT to use it).

Here are the latest 10:

1. “9 Twitter Etiquette Tips for Businesses Starting Out on Twitter” by Neal Schaffer (@NealSchaffer on twitter)
2. “The Essential Twitter Dictionary” by Lauren Dugan (@lauren_dugan)
3. “5 Free Tools to Monitor Your Brand on Twitter” by Tracy Sestili (@tracysestili)

For a list of links to Parts 1-64 in this series (which was born on May 19, 2009), see the Twitter category on this blog.

Would you like to recommend any other good twitter resources? I certainly don’t list EVERY article about twitter that I see – I might recommend an article that I disagree with, if I think it contributes something useful to the debate, but I won’t recommend an article that I think is badly written.

Happy tweeting!
