150+ Ultimate Round-Up of Helpful Twitter Articles

02/12/2010 - 1:00 pm By Diana Adams

I’ve tried to create something here that I have not seen before. Below is a list of 150+ very helpful Twitter articles. I get tweets every week from people just starting on Twitter and they are struggling, trying to figure it all out and find their way. I wanted to create a post that they could go to and find exactly what they are looking for.

This isn’t a newbie twitter manual, after all, @mashable already created a fabulous one of those, no, this is more of a day-to-day real life nitty gritty Twitter guide that includes detailed how-tos, tutorials and personal experiences.

My name may be listed as the author of this post, but I don’t think of it that way. To me, this post represents our entire Twitter community, and it really belongs to you. I plan to add to this article each week. If you read a Twitter article that resonates with you or if you’ve written one yourself, please send it to me at diana@bitrebels.com so I can include it in this list. As long as it isn’t full of self-promotion and it represents the core values and best practices of Twitter, I will add it to this list for us all to learn from.

If we combine our Twitter knowledge together, we can truly make a difference. I remember when I started on Twitter a year ago, there was no manual and we had to figure everything out ourselves, through trial and error. Let’s make it easier than that for the new people now. Let’s let them learn from what we have already experienced. I look forward to receiving your posts, and I hope you enjoy this first edition of the Ultimate Twitter Round-Up of Helpful Articles!

This quote was left in a comment on this blog by Melody Lea Lamb, “A tweet, like a drop of water, can make ever expanding ripples of positive energy. Its Cyber-Synergy!”

great great list. There are a lot of people who don’t know why they should be on Twitter, they don’t see any benefit. I recently wrote this blog as to my reasons.

Thanks Diana for pulling all this together in one place. You’ve saved many of us a lot of time.
Like others I guess, I have some of this stuff dotted about my PC but I’ll not be able to find it when I need it.
Thanks again.
