How and when do you tweet?
Posted by Simon Crisp | Filed under Interwebs, Journalism
I have only been using twitter for a few months which I understand still makes me a twitter toddler, as such I am constantly looking at how I tweet.
There seem to be so many different approaches to tweet etiquette, people who lurk following lots but saying little, others who update every time they as much as sip a coffee, and those engage in long @conversations.
Personally I am too easily distracted to follow more than about 50 frequent twitterers, too lazy to tweet too more than a couple of times per day and too insular to engage in too many public conversations.
And now I have a chart to prove it.
This Twitter Chart maps when I have tweeted over the past couple of months and whether they have been straight updates @replies or direct messages.
Something it has made me realize is that I need to @reply people more, I may not be the most social person in the real world but that doesn’t mean I need to be a hermit on Twitter. I also plan to start adding more links, this is what I enjoy in the people that I follow, so I honestly don’t know why I am not doing it already.
