I agree with you. I like to direct message mentors when they post interesting tweets about topics I have been working on.

The “what are you doing” stereotype of twitter is easily the most pervasive and incorrect thing non-user think about the site. Strange.

I try to follow the rule: If you wouldn’t say it openly at a bus stop you probably shouldn’t tweet it.

I joined Twitter and when I saw the question “What are you doing”, I stopped because I was thinking “who cares”.
I took me few months to understand and realize that Twitter is a great learning tool.
Select, check it out and disseminate good information.
After all, does it match your lifestyle?

IMHO it’s okay to post about the mundane tasks you are doing, as long as that is not all you post and not a minute by minute run down of your entire day. Sometimes what you are doing is business related or might start a conversation with someone new.
Now my tip:
Offer tips and quotes that will be helpful or intriguing to followers.

1. Retweet, retweet, retweet those quality tweets you wish you had posted.

2. Always check that short link before you RT it. You don’t want to RT a 404 or malware link.

3. When you get Twitter spam, send that tweet’s Twitter URL along with the username to DM spam – Seesmic can do this in one step, so I just favorite the spam if I’m in another client, then process and unfav it when I get to Seesmic. Afterwards, you can unfollow and block the username if you wish.

No, no no. Twitter may be about “what are you doing” for the first week. After that, it’s all about “What are you thinking?” and “What do you want to know?” and “What do you want to share?”. “What are you Doing?” is a terrible question and it makes people who don;t understand Twitter think Twitter is mundane. It’s long past time to retire that question. Most of us who have used Twitter for a while ignore the question entirely.

Nice tips! I’d add using Twitter search & #hashtags to find conversations & peeps talking about what you’re interested in or your niche. If you have something in common it’s much easier to find something to talk about.
