Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. You might be knowing that surely!! I said just for them who
don’t know the definition of Twitter.
All of the bloggers these days are active twitterers. Everyone uses Twitter for their blog promotion, the promotion of the blog posts or anything else just to tweet. Whatever you do, there are certain things you should not or never do in Twitter!! Given below is a short list of things you shouldn’t do in Twitter at any cost!!
1.) Never Say Hi / Hello Messages And Greetings..
When you’re on Twitter, never post messages like “Hi Friends”, “Wassup?”, “Good Night People”, Etc. Never post messages like “What Are You Doing?”, “Can We Be Friends”, Etc. All these messages should not be posted at any case. You should not post them even if you don’t have anything to tweet. These messages are never going to be replied by your followers. No one pays attention to these messages. Everyone is most likely to overlook these messages. When you post messages like “What Are You Doing?” or “Can We Be Friends”, what will your followers think? If they are following you, they are naturally a type of your friend. Many a times these messages will be thought a “SPAM” by your followers and likely you risk losing your hard-earned followers. So never post such type of messages.
2.) Never Post Outdated Tweets..
Sometimes we go to some news site or blog and start reading news. In case “The Featured News” column which is found in all news sites contains a piece of outdated information and you mistakenly tweet it, none of your followers will like it.Who likes to hear old news? So never do this!!
3.) Never Give Updates Late..
Suppose you own a tech blog or assume you own a blog which gives information about blogging or WordPress. Months ago “WordPress 2.8.4″ was released. You had posted a message about its release in your blog. But may be that time you forgot to tweet it. So after few months when you notice it, please don’t tweet that post. It is called as “Outdated Tweet”. I myself did this once and I lost some of my followers plus got a few comments on it. WordPress 2.8.4 was released some time ago. But the time I tweeted that post, WordPress was at 2.9.1 level. So naturally my tweet was outdated. Few of my followers didn’t like it as I gave an outdated message and many left following me. Few followers of mine replied to my tweet,
1.) Actually, I am using wordpress 2.8.6 I think you need to update your bot.
2.) R u mad..why u tweeting like bird brain it’s time for 2.9 and u r tweeting about 2.8.4.
You may get many such messages if you post outdated messages. So never do all this!
4.) Mind Your Language..
Suppose you may found some tweets in Twitter which you don’t find interesting or you don’t like it. Please never reply to it in abusive language. These messages although meant for the person who tweeted that message, are seen by all your followers. Why spoil your impression in front of them?
5.) I Can’t Think Of More…Sorry…
If you have any suggestions or more points regarding this please feel free to express them in the comments.
That’s all update for this time!!

For me twitter is no so effective. The key to success in twitter is more followers, and it takes time to increase twitter followers.
You can have more followers in Twitter is very easily. You can have them by using many of the tools available online, but the followers you get from them are more or less useless. But still if you want to get followers you can use such tools. I don’t recommend these tools to you.
i also do not have many followers but trying to get more (loyal followers) who are really interested in our tweets and topics of discussion :)
Yes, that’s the most important thing we have to do. Get some loyal followers. Thanks for the comment!
Great post.I neither post outdated tweets nor greetings.
I did post them in the past. But now after learning those lessons, I don’t do it!
Saksham that automatic followers are not the real followers, they are just robots.
They have no benefits.
Some are robots while some are of kind you follow-I follow type. The second type followers are good. They will actually read your tweets with interest or may be not, depends.
But usually all are bots.On considering on a 1 – 10 scale, 8 are robots while the other 2 may be you follow:I follow type.

I would add the following. Do not giveaway too much information. In Canada a guy tweeted that he is leaving on a vacation and found that his house was robbed when he was away. This story made news in local TV.

Thanks for the comment! Nice to know that you found the point useful!!
very nice points..
But i cant agree with 1st point…
If we tweet like how are you, what are you doing…etc., its a kind of care towards your followers..
How can it be wrong… ????
Thanks for the comment!! The followers read them, but hardly anyone replies to them!! I have tried this. And none of my 400 followers replied to me!! That’s why I suggest, not to do so.
Why not try this on your followers? Lets see whether they reply!!
One question for you…
You will surely tweet your post to twitter. whether all followers will see your post and RT it ????!!
Dont except their reply…
Just its a way of showing a care . That’s it…
Tweeting posts isn’t wrong, but I disagree with “Hi and Hello” messages. Mostly your followers won’t like them and pay least attention to them.
Cool tips bro! i think we need to be more careful in twitter right? :D
Yeah, we need to be for our good. How did you visit my site? You came by proxy or directly? Please let me know!
I came by a Proxy bro.. :D still can’t access your site :D
It’s ISP problem dear. Because everyone else can access the site properly. Though I’m planning to change host for this site, it will take a few months for that. So please continue visiting using Proxy, please….! Why not ask your ISP for any problems on their side?
While blogging what is the best way to use twitter?
Its good for blog promotion.
