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 ;)

Colleen says:

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. .-= NEW from Colleen@Kennewick Real Estate´s last blog ..North Richland Washington Homes For Sale and Real Estate =-.

  You have reminded with some stuff that I have to do on Facebook, I am actually not giving it full attention! Followed you on Twitter and listed you on our FamousBloggers list ;)

Gera says:

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 .-= NEW from Gera @ SweetsFoodsBlog´s last blog ..Blogging & Social Media, Food Blogs, Healthy Themes: Best of the Week =-.

Personability brother, it's the #1 reason I follow or don't follow anyone; through twitter or anything else. .-= NEW from Dennis Edell @ Direct Sales Marketing´s last blog ..Web Income Experiments DotCom Wins Hands-Down! =-.

  This is why I have a personal twitter account @hishaman I am really having some issues being behind @FamousBloggers ;)
  - Dennis Edell says:
    
    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! =-.
Mars Dorian says:

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 ?? =-.
- Hesham says:
  
  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

Ms. Freeman says:

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:)
- Hesham says:
  
  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
