Despite the fact that I’ve long thought twitter is retarded and contributes to shortening humanity’s already reduced attention span, I’ve decided to sign up for it. It appears to be useful for accruing page views. And because I’m not an old dog, I’ve no excuse not to learn new tricks. Still, I’m not quite sure what else to do with this thing. Makes me feel like an old dog.

Best way to use Twitter is a 3-way balanced approach:
1/3 promotion – links to posts on your site. The only reason to be on Twitter is to bring people to your site.
1/3 entertainment – write something original, brief & clever. This keeps people reading your Twitter feed.
1/3 community – retweet other people’s stuff that you honestly like. This builds goodwill with other Twitter users and makes them more likely to follow you and retweet your stuff.
For best results, do at least one of each every day.
Thanks for commenting for the first time.
I’ll focus on that.
