What I Have Learned After 7,000 Tweets

Posted by Billy Fairchild

In retrospect of reaching the 7,000 tweets mark, I have decided to share some things I have learned since first diving into the Twitter phenomenon back in late December of 2007.

  1. I now realize you don't have to know someone in real life to consider them a friend.
  2. I have learned that people that may not even know anything about you will be there to support you if your having a bad day.
  3. You do not have to know someone personally for them to make an impression on your life.
  4. You can learn a lot from your Twitter buddies, you just have to listen.
  5. It is very easy to be inspired by one or more of your followers.
  6. You can get attached to your followers, I must say, one of my greatest followers @Schmee is going to be leaving twitter for some time soon, and I am going to miss seeing his replies....
  7. Twitter is more about the people you follow than how many followers you have.
  8. Everyday I am still amazed at how many great people follow me.
  9. I can get news on certain things faster via Twitter than my  RSS feeds.
  10. Twitter is ADDICTIVE.
  11. Be unique with tweets, but not too often, Stick with something your followers came to know you for.
  12. Tweetscan is the best place to search for people to follow.
  13. I couldn't function without Twitkit to keep up to date with Twitter.
  14. A Blackberry and GoogleTalk for Twitter over IM is the best way to keep up to date with Twitter while on the go.
  15. If you don't do maintenance on your following to follower ratio, it can get out of hand FAST.
  16. The best utility for doing follower maintenance is Twitter Karma.
  17. It's not about stats.... but always nice to check them with Tweetstats.
  18. Twitterfeed can let my followers know when I make a blog post automatically.
  19. There is a Blacklist for all the Twitter Spammers.
  20. Most of my friends or family I introduce to Twitter just can't "get it"
In closing Twitter has been so fun for me. I have met many great people on there and I am sure there will be many more to come. So to all of my followers.... THANK YOU!
