Best Twitter Advice Ever →
jorgeq:
Mark McGuinness gives some pointers in how to procure more followers on Twitter and while I don’t think there’s a secret formula in achieving overnight attention in the Twittersphere, these two simple rules of thumb are quite close:
To get followers — do interesting things away from Twitter
To keep followers — be interesting on Twitter
Couldn’t agree with this more.

– Social Media Marketing? Kaboom, Baby!
WatchHow will Twitter monetize? I would say that Gary V raises a great point here. If advertisers really catch on to Twitter, they will be all over that…. if/when it becomes available. My god, that’s going to be a lot of cash.

How to Tweet Your Way Out of a Job →
My god. This one definitely gets filed under “idiot” and probably about a hundred other words. Aside from that, you get humiliated on the internet for it.
It boggles my mind to think that some people get on the internet (especially Twitter) and think that other people don’t watch what they put out there. I learned this the hard way when I was young(er) and dumb. With the web...

“I love cats as much as the next person, but this fad to include LOLcats in every...”
– No more lolcats in tech presentation, plz!. I couldn’t agree more. To be honest, I never saw the appeal of it in the first place, and I tend to grit my teeth what I see quotes starting with “I can has…” I would not be mad if I never saw that again.

More great motivation from Charlie Curve.

“A social media expert can…stare at his Twitter feed longer than I can?”
– What is a Social Media Expert? I’ve been questioning this for some time as well, and it seems that a lot of people in the digital industry are making lots o cash from claiming they are experts at social media.
