It's not messenger


Some novice bloggers think it, as a kind of messenger service, but it is not a messenger. On twitter you release the information that is spread out to your followers as well as to the public time line, where other users can find your tweet if they have set filters to grab tweets for particular keywords. You can monitor the twitter public time line via TwitSpy.

It's all about branding yourself


Twitter has the power to build your brand and make you an authority in your niche. Normally, new users wonder what to do after creating a twitter account. Start with redirecting your feed to twitter with the help of TwitterFeed. It will automatically tweet your posts giving good exposure to your blog. Make strong network with fellow bloggers, and encourage constructive discussions with them. Do not forget to provide useful links and resources to your followers via regular tweets.
