Alan Berkson asked me to gather up some posts for people who are just getting started on Twitter. I thought that was a pretty good idea. There are a lot of different opinions out there, so it can get pretty confusing. I’ve done my best to gather posts that I myself found really helpful (that does not explain why I included posts I wrote, by the way) or posts that I thought raised some interesting questions about Twitter.
I hope you enjoy!

Margie,
Thanks so much for the mention. Showing up on one of your posts is always a nice reminder that maybe, just maybe, I am headed down the right road.
There are a ton of great links here. I will have to check them out. Now that you have me hooked on Twitter Chats (when I can find the time…), I will definitely be checking out Allison’s post for sure.
Hope you are doing well,
Jason
Margie– Thank you for including me in this great round up! It’s a really good place to start for Twitter newbies. Happy marketing, Heidi Cohen
Hi Margie,
Thank you for including my blog in this post. I’m honored.
Best,
Debra
This would have probably saved me a lot of time, but I’m of the belief all things happen for a reason, huh? I think I prefer taking the ‘aw shucks’ approach because the level of expectations seem to be much lower. I didn’t know anybody was actually going to start showing up…………..:)
