One of the things I look forward to the most every morning is getting up and checking out some of my favorite comedy/parody accounts on Twitter. Funny people such as @shitmydadsays, @jesus_m_christ, and @sexcigarsbooze are just a few of the great accounts to follow. These talented people have turned Twitter into something more. For some, [...]

Knowledge is a valuable commodity. Don’t believe me? Take a look at some late night TV sometime. The latest fad diet craze, that new exercise phenomenon, or music that makes you smarter, You’ll find tons of people pedaling their ideas, thoughts, and opinions for $29.95 (shipping and handling extra). Willing to go even further? Head [...]
Share
Most people in this world judge a person by the number of fans and followers they have. It’s a sad fact in life. I even find myself, more often than not, evaluating a person of Twitter’s worth not by the number of followers, but my the ratio of followers to followings a person has. Why [...]
Listen
[Writer’s Note: I’m changing the order of the last 5 rules. That’s how I roll.] Let me start by saying that this is the subject I’m probably the least qualified to talk about. And I’ll probably end up telling the longest, seemingly off subject story for this one. But bear with me. After all, I [...]
Be brief
I distinctly remember in my tenth grade grammar class our teacher talked about deadwood. Well, not actually the teacher talking about it, but the example that was given.

Be interesting
I promise there is someone out there in the Twitterverse who is actually interested in something you have to say. I know it sounds crazy. After all, what kind of ego does one have to have to think that anyone out there sees any value in what they would have to say. But I find [...]
Be yourself
I’m going into fanboy mode. Why? Because you can’t talk about being yourself without talking about people who are doing just that, being themselves. Take Gary V for instance. Gary is a guy who will give it to you like he sees it. I was driving up to Social Fresh Nashville back in January while [...]
Be humane
No, we’re not talking about saving puppies (Sorry, @DOGingham). Today we talk about being kind to others. Not just on Twitter but online, in general. People go online to find things. Whether, they are doing a casual search, playing flash games, or looking to connect with others. They just want a new experience. For our [...]
Be human
Ever wonder why reality TV is so popular? Shows like Jersey Shore, The Real World, and Survivor are popular because people are curious as to what other people are doing, saying, thinking, feeling, and tasting. It’s human nature to be curious. The idea that you may be doing something that I’m not doing is enticing [...]
The 10 Rules of Twitter
I may be strange, but I save things. Mainly, I save tweets. Tweets that are thought-provoking, positive and make me feel good, or that inspire me to do something different. A while back (July 10th, ’09), one of my favorite communicators, @IkePigott, tweeted out the “10 Rules of Twitter“. Not sure if they are his, [...]
