Priceless Advice: Be Human on Twitter
I will tell you a short story happened yesterday while I am tweeting and retweeting, I some times follow people when I see people retweet their articles and posts, then latter I do some flushing to people who don’t interact with me or don’t follow me back, so that lady followed her weeks ago and then I unfollow her latter and time passed, I found a retweet from someone with a link to her blog, I went to check the blog and I found that she is sick and need to be in bed, so I sent her a tweet with get well soon! she followed me immediately and say thank you
So, plz follow this Twitter priceless advice, especially if you are tweeting from behind the logo, people will not like that much if you are a company or an automated thing, they actually need to feel the personal and human touch by you!
Have a great weekend everybody, stay focus while working at home, and don’t forget to act and interact with me on Twitter @FamousBloggers

Very nice list, and I love how you promote being human.
It’s something that really is absolutely necessary when you decide to embark in your personal “Twitter mission”, yet not many people seem to get it easily

Warmest regards,

Cool, I think you should more active on Twitter if you have time, I get tons of ideas and good feedback while I am on Twitter,
People tweeting some good stuff that I won’t be able to know about them if I am not on Twitter!
See you
We try to be human both on Twitter as well as Facebook. In our industry, real estate agents are the worse for Tweeting things like, “check this listing out” etc. We try to keep it personal and Tweet stuff folks enjoy reading, especially community events.

You have reminded with some stuff that I have to do on Facebook, I am actually not giving it full attention!

Thanks so much for the mention and an honor to be part of this list!!
Cool collection of twitter backgrounds.
I know that I need adding some text to mine, I need to edit my photo-background
Being human on twitter is fundamental to avoid to seem a robot, the principal cause who I don’t follow twitter accounts only having RTs, ads or with zero interaction with others.
Have a great weekend!
Cheers,
Gera

Hey Gera, sorry for the late reply
and yes we don’t want to be robots lol!
It’s great to have you on the list my friend, I hope you had a great weekend, talk to you on the blogosphere soon
Personability brother, it’s the #1 reason I follow or don’t follow anyone; through twitter or anything else.

This is why I have a personal twitter account @hishaman I am really having some issues being behind @FamousBloggers
Actually by ‘personability” I didn’t really mean a personal account. I just meant being personable, no matter what.
.-= NEW from Dennis Edell @ Direct Sales Marketing´s last blog ..Web Income Experiments DotCom Wins Hands-Down! =-.
Awesome list, Hesham
Thanks so much for the mention. I know at least half of the other people
And yeah, the human factor about Twitter – it was really sweet what you tweeted to her, most people are so obsessed with either scammy self-promotion or being overly efficient with it – a fun or a sincere tweet here and there, it shows that you are human and that you care !
.-= NEW from Mars Dorian´s last blog ..The Winning Difference – do People Like or LUV You ?? =-.
It’s awesome because of you guys!
Yeah, you know.. I sometimes set back and think about things happen during the day, I want to find ways to enhance performance of the blog and other related social stuff, I discover that I am actually behind the logo, and this is not that good, I remember you these times lol I should really go more personal!
Thanks Mars, keep it up buddy
Thanks again for all the nice compliments.
Also thanks for taking the time to put this cool list together. Some of these people I know but some are new so it’s always good to meet new and cool people.
Have a great weekend!

this morning was reading a post about the “10 things you must not talked about on twitter”. its funny to see sometime when people tweet “hey i found food in my fridge”. I like Kristi Hines Twitter background above.
.-= NEW from Shanker Bakshi´s last blog ..Those Bastard =-.
lol yeah that’s funny some times how people use social media, if someone tweet about the kitchen I may think to unfollow if this happen more often
And, yeah I like Kristi Hines’s Twitter background, it’s so fresh!
Thanks Shanker for stepping by, I hope to see you the list one day
Thanks Hesham for showcasing my profile here and I’m glad you enjoying our relation.

You are welcome man, I really appreciate the good SEO advice I got from you today, so many times we can not see.. instead having someone to guide us of what we should do for our own blogs is so helpful!
I’m glad you found my tips useful and productive… Will do more session like this soon.

Very good point. I think in an effort to keep clutter off Twitter ie “I’m eating a sandwich for lunch” we have veered too hard in the opposite direction and have become very impersonal on Twitter. I like to be personal and attempt to hold a conversation even if its not reciprocated. LOL:)
Hey Ms. Freeman, glad to see your comment today
Well, I think we should do a mix of everything as it’s always good to be in middle! while there is a lot of people who are using social media for different purposes, and they have their own “sandwiches” community actually working for them lol
