How to Twitter?

This week’s “Quick Tip” of the week is really not teaching you anything, as we are hoping to learn from you.

As many of you know we are still very new at this Twitter thing, and to be honest we still really don’t know what we are doing when it comes to utilizing Twitter.

Since we added our Twitter account we have tweeted several of our posts, as well as tweeted many blog posts that we have read on other sites. But beyond that, we are a little lost and would love some help so we can catch up with you 21^st century movers and shakers. I am sure there has to be some of our readers that are in the same shape as us, but are just afraid to ask for help.

I honestly have no idea what the best way to actually check for new tweets is? Do most of you have your Twitter account hooked up to your phone or do you just post and check your tweets from Twitter’s home page? I am worried if I connect it to my phone that I will be bombarded with tweets that I can not keep up with, as well as go over my monthly airtime usage on my phone.

Also, as of me writing this… we are only following 35 people. How do you possibly keep up with tweets if you are following hundreds or even thousands of people? I just don’t get it. How often do you check your account… every few minutes, every half an hour, every hour?

How about posting on Twitter? How often do you post and is it usually business related, or do you tell people when you are eating and sleeping as well? If so, do people really want to know that stuff?

I just don’t know what is the best way to utilize Twitter?
