Twitter Questions: Ask Phil Anything

by Phil Gerbyshak on July 24, 2009

I’m getting back to one of the most popular topics in my world lately, and that’s Twitter.

Is there some terminology you don’t understand?

Are you curious about which applications you can use to extend it?

Wondering how to figure out who to follow and who not to?

What else would you like to know about Twitter?

Please leave your questions in the comments. I promise to group them all up and find the answers for you soon.

I’ve joined, but not been using it and am about to ‘get going’ properly .. so I’d love a guidance course – would be really helpful .. eg .. what do you put in and what don’t you put in .. www sites etc.

You covered etiquette .. so we can go back ..

Thank you !!

I’m still pretty new to Twitter, but getting a good feel for it. I’m pretty sure this is possible: when you include a shortened link in your Tweet (such as tiny url or the other one), is there a way to track how many people clicked on that link? If so, how?

Thanks in advance and great idea for a post!

I’d like to know your recommendations for:

1. Creating a professional looking profile background that ties in with the look and feel of my website.

2. Marketing your blog with the use of product reviews and giveaways.
