Okay people, let me start by answering this question directly: Twitter is what you want it to be. Whether it be a social outlet to talk to people about products, services, friendships, sports, or emptiness – or maybe you like to use it as a news feed, keeping you up to date with your favorite brands and interests. There are even so many more uses beyond that it’s madness.

So quick answer is, “How do you like your information” –  if you answered fast and friendly, then use it – but the more people you follow the more types of users you will see.

Allow me to outline my current tactics:
1. Decide what I am interested in reading about (does it pertain to what I am tweeting about?)
2. Find/follow accounts that release news, stories, general info on said subjects (use the search tool!)
3. Digest info as it comes in, using above stated guidelines, engage authors in subject (ask questions, make statements – don’t forget to reply using @username)
4. Make statements of my own on subject matter of interest
5. Release links to press releases that you may be involved in, or link to pages of your website /blog (with titles of story accompanying link!)
6. Don’t be afraid to step outside of your box while doing this! Have fun with it, and stay relevent.

Will this methodology guarantee you success? No, this is a guideline to get you started, so get to work, after all, you have to work for real life followers to see success (don’t forget to outline how you plan on measuring “success”).
