Let’s take the first scenario. You have an opinion and you want to say it loud, loud in front of entire world. You don’t care whether people are listening to your opinion or not. You don’t care whether somebody is replying to you or not. Then, Twitter could be the best tool to do that. Yes, it gives you a platform to shout. You can shout as loud as you can, regardless of bothering much about responses and reactions.
You saw a movie. You didn’t like it. Go and shout it out on Twitter. You are studying late at night and suddenly a funny [or scary] thought popped up in your mind – go and express it on Twitter. Don’t expect to get a response, but sometimes you might get one. Expect the unexpected but don’t get emotional about it. Share your views, your opinions and take a back seat.
The point is – If “You have an Opinion”, go and shout it out on Twitter.

Wow. I didn’t know that this series will be so popular. Let’s start with another set of rules for increasing your twitter followers. Today, we’ll see some basic steps of profile building. It helps to attract people. It also compels them to follow you.
- Select a catchy handle: A catchy name attracts people – select a catchy name and stick to it. Don’t change the handle regularly. This is applicable only for those who are trying to build their own twitter profiles. Brands and products will have to go by their own name. In any case, please make sure that you have booked the handle with your name too. In my case, along with “TweetGyan”, I have @nambuj and @niteshambuj as well with me.
- Use proper name and photo: Twitter asks you name while creating a profile – give a proper name. Don’t use names like “Roaring tiger”, “Sleeping giant”, etc. In case you have used it – go ahead and change that today. Not today – change it NOW. Next item is your photo – use your own photo instead of using a celebrity’s photo or a photo from your own gadget gallery. Believe me – your photo will attract much more users than a high profile celebrity’s photo.
- Interesting bio: On your twitter profile, you can also mention your bio. It allows 160 characters to write your bio – use that appropriately. Mention about subjects you are going to talk about. Or, mention the domains you are interested in. Don’t write you age, sex and location there [asl from yahoo world]. Also, make sure to give your blog / website address at the web section. Please check my below profile for reference.
That’s all about profile building. We’ll see more interesting items in next post. Also, let others know your feedbacks on all these posts. Please add your own experiences at comment section. Let the community learn from each other.

- Start conversation: If you see an interesting tweet from someone in your timeline which prompts you to say something – say it. If you feel there’s something you can add – go ahead and add that. If you have some other opinion about that matter – say it loud. If you don’t agree with the statistics provided by someone – make sure to correct it. Give the correct source as well.
- Do RT: RTing is a very good way of getting attention from somebody [unless he is Seth Godin or Amitabh Bachchan]. If you like someone’s tweet – RT it. If you have little to add – RT it with your message [check the image].
- Do #FF: Giving Follow Friday is another way to recognize somebody. People would love it. Make sure you don’t overcrowd your follower’s timeline with several #FFs. Do it regularly and do it genuinely.

Last night on a dinner table we got engrossed with a normal conversation over networking building. One of the dinner- mates was new to Twitter and she had the obvious question – how to increase my followers count? She herself had many options and other dinner-mates had many more to add.

I was talking to a friend the other day who was telling me about this girl he met at a coffee shop. She noticed that he had the same laptop as she did and sparked a conversation. They talked for an hour before she had to go.
“Did you get her number?” I asked.
“No, but I got her Twitter. That’s even better!” he replied.
Wow. What a world we live in.

Twitter the Next Big Thing

Yet another internet meme and this time it’s going bigger and bigger. As the typical nature of internet meme suggests, it’s spreading from person to person, inbox to inbox and from chat windows to YouTube videos. Yes, I’m talking about Twitter, the latest sensation on Internet. It is getting lots of attention these days. The craze is so that when we arranged a small tweet up in Kolkata, it was covered by media without any hesitation. When we analyze the usage of twitter, it gives interesting results. Starting from spreading business to connecting to the fan bases, it is being used for all possible communication channels. I also found few college going students who are using twitter as their regular diary. This proves the diverse use of Twitter and that makes it vastly popular amongst all sections of the society.
When we look back at the history of Twitter, we would agree with the Wikipedia which says, “The tipping point for Twitter’s popularity came at the 2007 South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas.” It was the event which changed the fortune of Twitter and it never looked back from there. It was an excellent marketing thought, well planned and well executed.

A simple tweet starting from a mobile handset has power to ruin the reputation of a big brand. And, it can make you popular as well. Yes, it can happen. WOMM has found it’s new home at Twiiter. It’s not in theory now. There are lots of organization which are already practising this model. To create a viral for a brand, a campaign is easier that ever. And also, to create a viral for criticism is equally possible.
