Great article Tim. I'm fairly new to using Twitter and other Social Media tools but whilst I'm still learning the ropes I've tried to get as clued up as possible before diving in fully and can wholeheartedly agree with all of your 10 points.

To keep these valuable for everyone involved it our all of our responsibilities to post content of value and not just post for the sake of it or get our numbers up. It's absolutely about adding value and saving people time, rather than make them wade through gzillions of tweets to find something of value.

I do disagree about the individual comments to others. That comes in quite handy at times, with truly personal stuff taken to DM.

The rest of the list? Good job!

Although I agree with your general premise that Twitter should be about adding value to others 100%, I'd have to say I don't agree with the limitations of your Twitter rules. I think everyone has their own set of Twitter rules, and I could never begin to figure out what each is, and I am feeling like I am constantly stumbling around on peoples toes and breaking ther rules. I think it's a constantly evolving, changing thing. Unless their is an official "Twitter code of ethics", I am not sure whose rules to follow. I think I'll just make up my own and @timastevens 100 times a day. ha. ha.

Great Post. I have really gotten to that point. I'm thinking, if I'm going to reach out to others then I should be adding value and not just making noise. Now work on Facebook! . Thanks for sharing.

This is really helpful Tim.

I've seen some writings that have tried to convince others how Twitter can add value. Because of that, I've made various attempts to follow some various tweets, but have remained unconvinced that it's worth investing the limited minutes of life.

The framework you give makes the most sense I've seen. Thanks!

Hey Tim, great post! I've been reading the book by Joel Comm titled "The Power of Twitter …" Lots of what you are saying can be found in his book. I'm in the process of trying to put his and your ideas into practice.
Blessings,
Dave

I've never been to your blog, so apparently #10 worked
Good stuff!
