Twitter is an amazingly powerful tool for promoting your Squidoo Lens, Blog, Business and more. So check out these cool ways to educate, inform, enlighten and amuse people. Just remember, you've only got 140 Characters so stay on your topic!

A Little Birdie Told Me... 

Twitter is one of those really unique sites that allows you to become a leader just by letting people know what you're doing in the world. Sound cool? It is...but a word to the wise...don't abuse your power. Just like "The Force" Twitter needs to be respected. So before I give you my "50 Ways To Use Twitter", I'm going to give you few ways NOT to use Twitter:

1) Don't SPAM people. Very simply, we all know what it is...but sometimes it's easy to let a little slip in. The best way to lose followers is to drive them crazy with Spam.

2) Don't over do it. When Twitter asks, "What are you doing?" we don't need update every half-hour. Be relevant, resourceful and current and you'll make a lot of friends.

3) Don't insult, abuse, belittle or be a meanie.
