Many individuals are easily convinced to sign up with Twitter because it is a great place to meet different kinds of people. You can also interact with them 24/7. Twitter is similar to Facebook and MySpace in the fact that it already has millions of users worldwide.

When someone follows you in Twitter, it’s proper etiquette to follow them back; but that remains a personal choice. If you follow proper etiquette, you will learn to appreciate them as you use Twitter more and more. The site also provides a tool which allows you to thank all those who followed you so that you don’t have to do it individually. It is your choice to follow people that catch your interest but you don’t need to expect something in return. Others may simply ignore you because they are not obliged to follow you and you can also do the same.

If you’re an avid Tweeter, you will know what the numbers on the right corner standsfor. The three number sets represent the number of followers, the number of following, and the updates. You can post as many times as you like everyday and can follow as many people as you want. However, there is an exception.

As a Twitter user, you should pay close attention to the numbers on the right corner. For instance, when you’re following 2,000 people, a certain number of people should follow you back. Otherwise, you can’t follow any more Twitter users.

When you’ve followed 2,000 people, you can no longer follow more unless you’ve met the appropriate number of followers thus maintaining the ratio of following to followers. Even if you try over and over again, your request will not be activated. This is the so called Twitter Slap. It’s similar to the Google Slap (if you don’t adhere to the rules of Google, you will be punished with a slap) but this isn’t a serious problem.

One way to resolve this problem is to find out why some individuals don’t follow you back. You can use tools like friendorfollow.com and twitoria.com; the former can provide you with a complete list of those who did not follow you back and the latter will provide you with a list of those you followed but did not post for some time.

Try the sites mentioned so you can easily decide who to ‘un-follow’. The most simple solution to this is to flat out un-follow everyone not following you back. Problem solved.

When you send a request to follow someone and it is not activated, it only means one thing – you’re Twitter slapped. Don’t worry because you can easily address this problem. When you know the options available to you, you will not encounter any difficulty.

It’s really a good feeling to follow many people on Twitter but it feels better when they follow you back. Making more friends and staying connected 24/7 is possible through Twitter. Sign up now and enjoy the Twitter experience. It’s free after all.

If you want to promote your business, you can as well but remember that no one like a spammer. Just have fun with it.
