Don't be a Twitter Quitter!

So, in my desire to try to figure out what makes people tick with Twitter, I've been reading a bit more about it. Ran across this older post on Mashable that gives some tips to help people find Twitter useful, rather than dull.

To summarize/paraphrase, tips are:

1. Don't only follow people you know.
2. Don't follow celebrities or brands unless they add to your experience.
3. Have conversations with/@ people.
4. Be yourself and say what you'd say in real life. (Think of Robin's advice: use Twitter when you wish you had a neighbor to share something with.)
5. Go mobile. If you only tweet at your computer, you're missing the real action.
