There is a room for innovation anywhere. If you are smart enough to make your tweet interesting, people would like it no matter what subject you talk about.

Thanks for the useful tips. The tip that I found most useful was the one on being descriptive – definitely helps follow a conversation even if you were not part of it originally.

Hey Darren,

This is good stuff. I am new to twitter, just trying to find my way around. To me it seems like most people are just shooting posts to advertise something, but isn’t this more of a social connection to build relationships?

My understanding is that you should create an audience who trust you and look for your tweets, then they will pay attention more to your recommendations… right?

Just a thought!

wow – ironically, a huge post for a service that limits you to 140 characters. I’m a food blogger and I eat out alot, so my tweets are generally food related and believe it or not, people or follow my stuff expect me to tweet food, and rightly so, foodies follow me.

And believe it or not, I do tweet my breakfast, and so do the rest of my followers and people whom I follow because that’s what we do: we talk about food, all the time.

I should also mention that we twitpic photographs of what we eat as well – also part of what foodbloggers do. ultimately, a mundane task is not mundane, it really depends on what kind of niche area it is. Same can be said of blogs i suppose, think about it, a blog giving advice/talks about how to tweet. Niche area my friend, niche area.

Thanks for your feedback everyone!

@Jillian I have met so many wonderful people on the subject of food, both foodies and non-foodies =)

@Alison It really doesn’t take much time, just a few extra seconds of thinking before hitting “send.” Just stop and ask yourself what your readers will get from your tweet and what you want them to get from it.

Thank you for the post, I can’t have my entire mind in this comment while i see the final of the champion’s league, but here I go.

I love this pots because you say something really interesting because to have a good reader or in this case followers it’s by mean of the good post or tweets you do. That the base because it’s not normal that user follower someone because he don’t say a thing. Interest it’s for something.

Good tips you have give thank you.

The key to any social network is engagement. Your post is dead on- sure, tweet about food! Blog about your day, but tell me how it can relate to my day, too. Even the most irrelevant topics can be interesting and informative, it’s the presentation that counts.

It is indeed a good article on using Twitter. I have always believed in bringing VALUE to readers, and sharing RELATIONSHIPS has become far more valuable since reading Joel Comm’s book “Twitter Power.” That book really describes the value of a faithful following, and it is indeed based upon being human and sharing events in all Tweets.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks for the great tips @summertomato. It may take me some time to process them into tweets for something other than food, but I’ll work on it.
