Your email signature:

Do you include your Twitter username on your email signature?  Options include a Twitter image that can be clicked through to your account or the URL link in your signature block.

Finding people to follow on Twitter can be undertaken in numerous ways.  When you first join Twitter you are prompted with “See if your friends are on Twitter”.  And you can check Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, and MSN email accounts.

I would suggest you skip this step when you first join because you don’t yet have anything in your profile.  You really don’t want people to look at your profile while it’s still empty.  If you want to use this feature, plan to do it after you’ve gotten your profile optimized.

On Facebook and LinkedIn you extend an invitation to people and you wait to see if they accept your invitation.  On Twitter anyone can follow anyone without an invitation – in fact, this is part of Twitter’s power.

Twitter is the microblogging platform that has been getting a great deal of buzz in recent months. It is an incredibly powerful social media marketing tool if used correctly.  (Many people on Twitter do not use it correctly.)  The more people who are interested in what you’re about and who follow you, the more of a target audience you have connected with on Twitter.
