I’ve been enjoying your blog for a while now, and I’m happy to share a twitter tip with you and yours. Like the rest of the social networks, Twitter is about relationships and conversations.

In addition to simply tweeting what you’re up to, I’ve learned that it helps greatly to pay attention to other people’s tweets. When you see something that interests you, feel free to respond to them or start a conversation. People often tweet more personal things than they would blog, so you have the opportunity to make better connections.

Which isn’t to say that you can’t get attention from your tweets. During a recent heatwave in NYC, when I tweeted that I was topless eating a popsicle, I did get a tiny spike of new followers It wasn’t a stunt. I was just bored. But I learned that people are paying attention on twitter, even if you think they’re not. They just have to have a reason to care about you.

Thanks for reading.
