As for the rest of this post, I did find it interesting and it's surely going to help in directing me in a new direction for my tweets. Up to now, I was a bit lost and wasn't quite sure what to tweet about, but now it's much clearer in my head! @KriziaMissK I’m still not quite certain how to “retweet” and like to get some tips on doing so.

It’s just like when somebody tells you a funny joke or an interesting story - you don’t keep it to yourself, you share it with your friends and colleagues.</i>" Unfortunately, unlike somebody repeating jokes/stories, retweeting doesn't come with a way to say, "Yeah, yeah, stop. I've already heard that one 47 times." Twitter seriously needs a "don't show me retweets if I have already seen the original or an earlier retweet of the same thing" option. “That’s why retweeting is so valuable.

One thing that I'm missing so far is that I don't know what's up with the replies/mentions war. I like how they coexist. Great post on Twitter. :) I fit into all these categories and am proud of it.

Balance is everything - before I follow someone, I glance at their last tweets. If they are all the same, it's a turn off. They might be interesting RTs, but if they're all the same, it looks they have nothing original to say. All @replies makes me think I will see nothing but one half of a conversation, but no @replies makes them look unsociable. And if they're all quotes from famous people, I click away before you can say Thomas Jefferson. It’s all so true. Balance is everything – before I follow someone, I glance at their last tweets.

Generally I try to answer every reply and RT. If this lead into a conversation without relevance to my topics (castles, museums, history) I change to DM. So I hope to have much conversation without bothering my followers who only want to read my latest travel experiences. Thanks for the post. Generally I try to answer every reply and RT.
