A Twitter Marketing Tip, Three Ways to Communicate on Twitter By Carol Hansen

There are several ways to communicate on Twitter. Which way you decide to use depends on the type of message you want to send. It can be wide open for the whole world to see or private for the recipients eyes only.
Here is a basic list of the ways to Tweet.
1. Basic Twitter is just like shouting to a friend on the street. You just type your message in the "What are you doing" space. But, be careful cause the whole world can hear/see what you say. Choose your words carefully when you Twitter, so you don't have to eat them.It's important to use Spell Check too. You do have the option to delete your Tweet if you really screwed it up though.
2. @Replies are Twitter messages that you send back to someone who has Tweeted you. Or, when someone replies to a message you sent to them. It's kind of like sending a text message from your cell phone. Of course all of your Twitter followers can see this type of message, so once again you need to be careful what you say. This is a great way to start a conversation or join in one. You can enter @ followed by the persons username to send a message to anyone. It helps get their attention. These messages will also be stored in the @Replies section on your Twitter page so you can reference them later.
3. Direct messages are sent in two ways on Twitter. The first way is to just type the letter "d" followed by a space and then the persons username. You do not use the @ in this kind of message. Theother way to send a direct Tweet is by replying to a Tweet in your Direct Messages section on your Twitter page. You can only send direct messages to your Twitter followers and no one can see these messages but you and the one you're Tweeting to.
Now that you know how to send messages with Twitter you need to get started building your list of followers. Twitter is rapidly becoming one of the best and cheapest marketing tools available online. Oh, and its a whole lot of fun too. Now get out there and start Twittering!
