Using Twitter Like a Pro

Guy Kawasaki is one of those guys who just gets the Internet. He makes tons of money and has many great ideas. Here’s a post of his on how to rock Twitter like a superstar. Even if you or your band does a handful of these things you’ll see some tangible improvement. Sample:

Then my new book, Reality Check, came out, and I made an offer of a free copy of it to anyone who signed up for the Alltop Twitterfeed. Another 280 people signed up—bringing the total to approximately 450 people.
We counted, and these 450 people had a total of 140,000 followers. This meant that whenever we announced a new topic, the 140,000 followers of 450 people received notification. These 450 people had followers in common, so their tweets didn’t reach 140,000 different people (see next section), but this was the Mother of Retweeting.
