Rules of the Road: Twitter Guidelines for Keeping it Real

While jumping into twitter is exciting, it can also be addicting and leads some people to present themselves as less than legitimate. We discuss the following points as reminders to look at and remember the real value of Twitter.

1. It’s not about who follows you, it’s about who you follow
2. Don’t just retweet – share your voice
3. Know your hashtags
4. Be careful with automation tools – know what they do.
5. Don’t Buy Followers

The Non-Tech Rec

The Gorillapod by Joby is something you’ve probably seen all over the place even if you haven’t bought one for yourself.

The versatility of the Gorillapod is something not to be overlooked. It’s incredibly useful for all sorts of purposes, and you can mount anything on it that takes a standard screw mount. Hang it from a doorknob, use it to balance your camera against a wall, get that artistic street-level selfie, play around with it to see what you can do.

Be sure to check out the different varieties to make sure you get the one that best suits your need.
