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.

A lot of noise that makes little sense most times, is the best description I can give for Twitter.

DebMartin says:

Well, "hate" is a strong word. Sure don't love it. I use it. I don't totally get it. I've dropped a lot of folk I was following since I started with twitter. Lots of noise. Less is more in my opinion.

uncommon says:

I have a problem with trying to say (or read) something of any significance in less than 140 characters, and it does not lend itself to conversations of any depth - very superficial, but I guess one has to be there for business? Not sure...
