What is the difference between the Top Twits & the tweeting masses? Well besides one has gobs of followers and the other has none… its the tweets man, the tweets.

Killer Twitter Twips

So what can you do to make killer Tweets that will bring other Twits a clamoring for more? Well firstly try to make it not about you… People love themselves. This means that probably you also love yourself, but fight that urge in the new media age, try instead to make your twittering about & applicable to others in the Twitterverse. One good way to do this is to ask a question. This opens the lines of communication between you and your followers and helps you decipher between the Twits who are just driors and the Twitterers who are there to interact with others.

Once you ask a few questions and start getting an idea of who responds and which followers are good at interacting be sure to put them on a separate list. You can use Twitter’s lists or ones formed on Hootsuite or Tweetdeck. This separate list should be kept so you can keep track of this sub-group of followers who are very active and be sure to keep in touch with them through DMs, or @’s weekly. This is the building blocks to take a relationship began on Twitter into the real, whether it be networking, friendship or more.

Backgrounds are important too. Your Twitter background should be an extension of who you are in social media. I recommend to my new media consulting clients that they keep their social media identities congruent with each other. So if your blog is designed a certain way try to make that flow with your facebook fan page and Twitter design. Using the same picture via several social media sites like FourSquare, Twitter & beyond is very helpful as well. Because as people start seeing you in more and more places their ‘bond’ with you becomes stronger, which is the whole point behind networking & socializing. So if you can get someone to design a unique Twitter background for you, or do it yourself, even a picture you took yourself that has something to do with your persona is better than a generic thing branded with a www.twitterbackgrounds.com logo.

The last thing I’ll say on Killer Tweeting & equally radical Twits is keep it short & sweet. Your bound to 140 characters for a reason, so don’t try to get around this by posting multiple tweets that follow almost a story line of sorts or send out a Tweet once every 10 minutes. It gets old, even to your most fervent fan and the chances people will unfollow you goes through the roof. Along that say lines don’t use automated DMs for goodness sake, its tooly, that is the only way to describe it. So don’t be a Twool! << yeah I made that awful joke!
