		<description>Great points on learning and listening, as well as- think of it as a newspaper headline. No one will hang out in a space very long if they are just being shouted at all day long. Think about your Tweet volume.

		<description>Great article!

I especially liked #18 “Hi my name is Bob and I replace window screens and have great prices.” Why cant 90% of all Twitter users see that this just don&#039;t work?

		<description>GREAT collection of common sense advice!

However, #2, in Twitter, like in business, is broken: &quot;IF you have a plan&quot;?

No plan means no chance of success.

Says me.

		<description>Good tips, it&#039;s a shame a lot of beginners wont take the time to read things like this though. It is annoying when people claim to have used Twitter for a month and had no success, when in reality all they have done is post a link to their website every day. To really benefit from using Twitter, you have to commit to it and put the much needed time and effort in.</description>

		<description>Very thoughtful post! After 3-4 months, I have still have a small number of followers, but I must say that I have learned a great deal from the wonderful people I choose to follow!  Twitter has proven to be a great resource and a nice way to connect with people all over the world.

I will soon be creating a separate account for my business and this information in this post will be a resource - I want to avoid some of the initial hiccups I experienced when I first signed up for Twitter.  I agree that creating and pursuing connections is key!

Thanks for the insights!</description>

		<description>Those are great tips for anyone using Twitter, Mark.

I especially agree with #18. Spam is a growing problem on Twitter and it is one people have to be weary of. 

Small business owners using Twitter should see it as a way of finding new customers and building a communication channel with existing customers. There&#039;s a fine line between coming off as spammy and simply promoting your company. If you can find that balance, then Twitter can be a very effective marketing tool.
