And if you can help — plesase share:

What are your 3 (or more) most important tips a new twitterer needs to know?
Twitter is like kindergarten: You can play with anyone. Don’t be afraid to speak to anyone.
Twitter is like highschool: There’s alot of crap, you edit most of it by who you associate with.
Twitter is like college: There’s a plethora of information and experiences to be had you have to curate you’re own experience.

Also trending topics. hashtags and retweets can be very useful if you are promoting something or someone.

What are your 3 (or more) reasons why you use twitter?

I use twitter to promote my blog, network and share information with a larger group of people than I would have access to face to face.

What are your favorite twitter tools and apps?
I guess the only twitter tool I’m using at present is tweetdeck–which has some great built in features among them the ability to juggle more than one account at the same time. But I’m also researching a tool that would allow me to aggregate more followers more quickly.

@Gail P Thanks for your great tips. Just to clarify ‘ReTweets will bring new folks to your screen” I’m assuming you mean when some one RT’s someone then check out who that person is they are tweeting to see if worth following?

Offending is really hard and sometimes you have to accept that like everything in life you won’t please everyone. Some people really like my occasional, crazy series of tweets of weird stuff that has happened in my life while others have sent me emails to explain because I haven’t stayed on focus and only share links talked education that they have unfollowed me.

Oh I hadn’t checked out TwitterKeys and had wondered how people were inserting those symbols. I may now go crazy. But you aren’t using TwitterKeys to go backward in a conversation?

@Cathy Yeah definitely way cool. And I love if the person has a nice background how it embeds with that. Might be time for a spring clean of my twitter background?

Did you have any twitter tools or apps I should add to my list for sharing?

As for the other questions,
Why Twitter?
1. I have found some tremendous reading for my Reader and learned a great deal about what a great teachers does.

2. I love to learn and this is a great way to navigate my way through the multitude of offerings.

3. I am basically a shy person and Twitter gets me out of my shell more.

What tools and apps?
Sorry, not many. I don’t have any feed programs and don’t check my iPhone.
The only thing I sometimes use is TwitterKeys. Sometimes when following the backward trail of a conversation, I am stymied by a feed source that stops me.

1. Go after the network of people you want to create. Don’t expect them to stumble by your site or tweet and search for your name in Twitter. Find your favorite folks and check out whom they follow

2. Have something about yourself in the Bio and Web sections of your profile. People will want to check you out to be sure you’re not just a spammer or trying to sell something. Even a link to your Delicious or Flickr account will work.

3. Remember your footprint. When someone clicks on your acct. they will read what you’ve been tweeting about and may learn something you aren’t real proud of. That means, keep the tone appropriate to your followers and don’t offend too often.

4. I will sometimes choose not to follow someone because they flood my screen with too many tweets in the hour.

5.ReTweets will bring new folks to your screen. Check them out.
