Three Things You Should Know If You're New To Twitter

 Did your bestie, co-worker, or some random social media fanatic talk you into twitter? Now you have ONE MORE ACCOUNT that you just don't know what to do with it. You signed up and twitter recommended 20 people for you to follow, that really had nothing to do with you and you should have skipped over. Why? They are just celebrities or prolific bloggers and were not really hand picked for you.

Who to Follow on Twitter

I'd start by reading Mark Hayward's post on the Ten People All Twitter Beginners Should be Following. He had some great recommendations. If you want my favorite techies, bloggers, and online smarties I've made two top lists you can find those here: http://twitter.com/desaraev/tech-geeks and http://twitter.com/desaraev/favs (let me know if they help).

Who Can Teach You

If you are sick of struggling through social media and want to learn from other people's mistakes, I'd recommend reading a few blogs by people who can really lay things into perspective. Who are they?

• @problogger
• @chrisbrogan
• @chrispollard
• @jeffpulver
• @nateriggs
• @breon
• @pjbfcp

 Setting up Twitter
