Twitter, Facebook, Digg: Can You Join Too Many Networks?

Twitter Account Suspended? You're Not Alone.

My blog buddy recently had his thriving twitter account suspended due to "suspicious activity". This was because a number of users flagged his account. For no good reason.

Twitter needs to start reprimanding users who flag innocent twitter users.

I see that there are a lot of accounts put on hold. Many may not be correctly blocked.

And many users may not know what to do and just quit using their accounts. This then leaves thousands of orphan accounts that are seemingly still 'active' users. I hate following someone only to the notice "account suspended due to suspicious activity."

My blog buddy emailed twitter and explained that he had a surge in members and that was it. His account is fine now. But I hope twitter looks into this issue of orphaned accounts and bad flags...

Twitter Tricks. 500 Followers Video.

So I was quite impressed by this YouTube video about a few twitter tricks. It claims that it shows you how to get 500 Twitter followers in 24 hours. I think its possible, but I'm not a fan of adding tons of people in a short period of time. Sometimes its better to gather true fans who are actually paying attention to your tweets.

Nonetheless, this guy Gabe does a great job on his YouTube channel....

So you want to tweet on Twitter? Great! Twitter is a very simple and fun website that asks the question, "What are you doing right now?"

Twitter is a great way to stay in touch with contacts, follow people of interest and allow them to follow your tweets!

1. Open an account. Easy at pie.

2. Upload a small photo of your face.
It should look good at a very small thumbnail size. So just your face is best. You can also use a symbol if you want to be more discreet.

3. Customize your page.
Twitter has a few great pages to choose from. If you like to build your own--go ahead, but lets keep it simple for now.

You know the drill, profile stats. If you have a blog or website to promote, be sure and include it in your profile for networking bliss. Also, your description about yourself should be short, catchy and fun.

5. TWEET! Type in your first tweet and watch the fun begin! Examples are:

"Mary is Starbucks, soy latte, and Xmas music"
"Mary is in a traffic jam. Boooo."
"Mary is headed to a Broadway Show. Yay!"
"Mary is writing another blog post...about apples!"
"Mary is watching a crazy movie about clowns and dragons. Jealous?"
"Mary just fell. Ouch. Darn cobblestone and heels."
"Mary is bliss."
"Mary wonders why tourists love to talk really loud."
