Content vs. Twitter Jabber
What makes a tweet worth reading? Naturally when it comes to the introductory world of twitter, we gravitate to our friends and for the most part, enjoy reading their tweets. After a while though, reading day to day tweets begin to get old. Eventually, the desire for some content starts to take place. And now that twitter is evolving from mundane, day to day tweets, to articles of substance through re-tweeting, we have an opportunity to stay connected to friends along with hot media topics that are taking place around the world. This is what started to separate twitter from the rest of the bunch. The ability to gather information is starting to become a new trend on twitter. So how do we advance past the normal day to day tweeters?
Find some interesting people to follow! There are millions on twitter now days and there is a large majority who are using the site to relay information that is useful! There is a website called Twitalyzer that actually ranks peoples influence along with a few other categories. Find some people on twitter and start following them. Be advised though, your friends who vaguely tweet will begin to get lost in the mix due to their lack of participation. In the end though, it can be worth it. You will start to come across articles that are exciting to read and could be quite useful for yourself as well.
So take some time every now and then to follow a few new people each day that share the same interests as you. You might actually make a friend in the process. This will also help your ability to spread meaningful content to more people. So many people attempt to tweet profound thoughts but have no followers to read those great thoughts. Doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. So engage with some new people each day. Community, whether on line or in person doesn't come without action on your part!
*disclaimer- this does not mean that I think we shouldn't tweet about our day to day stuff. That is what makes us unique in the world of twitter. So continue to be authentic. Maybe just attempt to push through some meaningful content that will make us all better people!
