Matt: Just a note. As much as I think that grammar and syntax are important, when it comes to Twitter, it's okay to relax the rules. 140 characters isn't a lot, so if you need to do a couple of thx instead of thanks, it is a forum where it's acceptable. Sean’s last blog post..Happy Birthday Mia

@Tess: Awesome! We’ll see you in the land of Tweets!

@Matt: There’s a few ways of doing this. First, since Twitter only allows 140 characters you want to use something like tineurl. This is a way of shrinking the original down to a much lower character eating size. To do this you can either use something like TwitThat or use a desktop client like TweetDeck which builds this option right into the tweeting process. Or, you can just type the url into twitter and do it that way, but like I said, this will often times eat up most of your tweeting allowance.

There are many ways to do this and this is just a few, but it should give you some options that you can work with. Eric

@Chris: You’re totally right in pointing out our need to engage the Twitter community like it were your own blog. We can’t expect to grow in anything we neglect. Twitter is no different.

@Marc: Great point about us adding our personal profiles to the Blueprint. I’ll look into that.

@Jay: Direct messaging new Twitter followers is an excellent habit to get into. Thanks for adding the great insight! Eric

I just found Twitter about two months ago, and these tips are spot on to help you find a voice. One thing I do is DM a follower everyday and just ask if there is anything I can do to help them. I think people appreciate it, and I know in the beggining I loved when people offered thier services. Thanks guys! Jay’s last blog post..Reasons Why I Stink, and We Rule

Great advice guys, not much I can add to that list. You should take the opportunity to increase your own followers though by linking in your Twitter profiles (and not just for the Blogopolis Blueprint)

Great tips guys - I really thing that this is the year Twitter goes mainstream too. I've found it both a very effective but also fun way to get my blogging voice and brand out there. As a blogger Twitter is an extension of your blogging so it is important to remain consistent with your message, and as on a blog engage with your community. Chris’s last blog post..And the winner is…
