Tips For Becoming A Twitter Power User

twitter.jpgIf, like me, you’re a bit slow on the Twitter uptake, Caroline Middlebrook has put together a very thorough and comprehensive guide to using Twitter. Middlebrook covers everything from why (the one place she loses me a little) to using Twitter to be more productive, to various nuances of Twitter etiquette.

If you’re already a seasoned Twitter pro, following in the California wildfires and every other bit of up-to-the-minute news, you probably aren’t going to get a lot of this one (never hurts to see how other people use things though), but if you’re still not sure what Twitter is useful for, this might help you see the light.

Middlebrook covers the whole spectrum, from possible ways to use Twitter, to desktop clients, to things to avoid. She even has some suggestions for multiplying your Twitter audience.

The buzz around Twitter may well be a bit over-enthusiastic, but with Middlebrook’s tips your might be able to turn what initially seems like 10-90 signal-to-noise ratio on it’s head and start actually finding out about things you care about via Twitter.
