<title>Proper Twitter Etiquette, What is it?</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.socialtimes.com/images/twitter.gif" alt="Twitter Logo" align="left" height="65" width="225" />Recently I&#8217;ve been hearing a lot of people talking about Twitter and whether it is the ultimate tool for communication or if it has been abused by ruthless self-promoters (I&#8217;m definitely not one of those <img src='http://socialtimes.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  ).  A few months ago while using Twitter I started noticing that people were promoting their blog posts via the site.  I decided to join in on the fun and now see the benefits of notifying people of new posts.</p>
<p>I have heard other people say that this automated model of self-promotion is unacceptable and that it is simply cluttering their Twitter stream.  For myself, I feel as though posting blog posts is a relatively uneventful twitter update and really doesn&#8217;t cross the threshold of continuous self promotion that we are beginning to witness on the site.  As I&#8217;ve been reiterating for the past two days, the social web is most effective for building brand you.</p>
<p>The techniques used to build brand you could be to simply write a blog post once a day or alternatively to write each post and tell as many people about it as possible in the hope that they&#8217;ll tell their friends.  I myself have leveraged a number of guerrilla social web marketing practices and so have a number of other people that I know of.  Just ask <a href="http://www.jess3.com/">Jesse Thomas</a> how to market yourself and he&#8217;ll give you 500 ways to drive traffic to your site.</p>
<p>So the question remains, what is proper Twitter etiquette?  Where&#8217;s the line when promoting yourself?  Are there any rules?  Perhaps out of this discussion we can create a guide to Twitter etiquette.</p>
