4 Resources for how to write good tweets/notices/shouts
While microblogging offers a faster way of communicating with others, it also requires that the blogger (if we can call him/her that way) to be adept at managing online relationships. This requires that the blogger to:
- be good at listening and,
- be empathetic at best.
1.Twitter
Twitter is the most popular microblogging service currently. It allows its users to send messages called "tweets" top other users of up to 140 characters. The beauty of Twitter is that well known personalities and corporations are on board. That can be quite suitable for anyone to learn about good tweeting. For example, using Google one can search for the most popular blogger in a particular niche then search for their Twitter profile. With that one can get to glean some lessons on how to post good tweets from that particular blogger.Note also that some Twitter users do protect their tweets; so that requires you to sign up to the service and request to follow them so as to get to see how they tweet.For business persons, searching for the Twitter profiles of their competitors or industry leaders can teach them on how to use Twitter for business.
Another reason on Twitter is the "Trending Topics" section. Searching for what is trending on the site then zeroing down the search to a particular profile whose tweets seem credible, a new user can get a role model to emulate. Note that the trending topics may contain a lot of noise in the form of tweets with the trending word nested between hashtagged words making up the posts.
2.Identi.ca
Identica is another microblogging service just like Twitter. However, one main difference between it and Twitter is that all posts, called notices, are open to the public. That is an added advantage since one can see how they go about creating conversations. The "Public Timeline" section can be a big eye opener to anyone who is new to microblogging. One, anyone can get to see who are the most frequent users of the site and, two, the quality of their notices.3. Google Searching
