I would love to learn how to form great relationships on Twitter.
My biggest twitter pet peeve is brands who have automatic retweets based on keywords. I’m a total twitter junkie, but would love some fresh ideas of how to better utilize it!
I have companies who are using twitter to promote a product/special. I want to know if they can send the same Tweet a few times a day.
i.e. Tomorrows special – $5 off your lunch if you bring in this coupon. link to coupon.
can they put that out several times in one day?
My biggest pet peeveS about Twitter:
People who ONLY post contests and links and are not personal.
People who follow you and then unfollow you just to get you to follow them.
People who try to get you to find 100,000 followers fast.
People who look like stalkers and talk about trashy stuff.
People who Retweet Follow fridays when they have no intention of following you.
That I can’t read everything every day – I always feel like I’m missing something!
My biggest pet peeve is all the spammers. Very annoying!
I would love to learn about how to use Twitter effectively without it eating up hours and hours of life.

I have a lot of Twitter pet peeves, but I think the biggest is when people ask questions of their followers and then do not take the time to thank them or respond afterward. Sounds like a great book.
I would like to understand how to use #

I’d like to learn how to build a quality list of followers.

I really want to learn how to spot the twitter spammers. They are so annoying. That will be a great bit of knowledge. I also want to make sure I am not breaking any twitter etiquette rules!! That would be so embarrassing!
Also, congrats to Alli for publishing and the NEW relaunch of Blissfully Domestic is awesome. Everything looks great.
My biggest Twitter pet peeve is auto DM’s and those who send automatic tweets based on keywords. It’s a waste of time to have to view them.
I tweeted about it too.

I really want to know what I don’t even know I don’t know about twitter…
But seriously…learning how to use twitter effectively without it becoming a huge time suck is what I need the most assistance with.
(The relaunch of BD is beautiful!)
I wish I understood all the ways to communicate thru twitter with the @name etc. I’d also like to set up a bio and use it to network. I’m excited to become all twitter savvy with thebook.
I want to know how to delete a batch of DM’s. Is that even possible?? Congrats on the book and I’m loving the new BD look. WOW!
My husband signed me up and I am totally clueless – seriously I need to learn anything about it!!!!
Personally, I would love to know how to grow my Twitter following, but still be able to interact with enough people to keep up with y current, and make new friends!!
So much to learn! How to get more followers and how to use it to promote my blog are the biggest ones. How to save time!

I would love to learn how to effectively use Twitter to develop relationships, network and promote my blog, but with out having to be on Twitter all day. I feel like right now I don’t have the time to manage it properly.
I Tweeted! http://twitter.com/mommiedaze/status/4646140796
Everyone lately has been talking about “Tweet-up’s”…. I don’t even know what one is….??? LOL
I would love to learn how to create relationships with other bloggers.
I guess I don’t really understand the best way to use Twitter. I’m never quite sure what to post and don’t understand what to do when someone says to re-tweet something. This book sounds fabulous.
The pressure to write a great Tweet sometimes bothers me.
Auto DMs bother me more!
Does this comment cut out at 140 characters?
I’m new to twitter and would love to learn more in depth how twitter works. I’d also like to learn how to speak the twitter lingo! Sounds like a great book!
Here’s my tweet!… http://twitter.com/MistiTracy/status/4661644184
my biggest twitter pet peeve is the crazy people that follow me that sometimes have nasty pictures on their profile pic. OR the ones that start following me just because I tweeted about something.
I’d love to learn how to form relationships with those I tweet with on a regular basis.
Tweeted about it!

I just really started tweetin this week. I REALLY need to know how to use it effectively. Heck I need to know EVERYthing! LOL
My twitter-peeve is when someone will tweet a different way each time about the same blog post. I click, thinking it’s new, and then it’s the same one! Grrr!
Heard you talk about this book at Type A Mom. Would love to become more Twitter Savvy.
Thanks for the opportunity!
I wish I knew more about the various apps available for twitter! My biggest pet peeve is getting auto DM’s, and I want to learn how twitter can make me more efficient instead of being a time suck!

Steph
I’m with the folks above who say their biggest pet peeve is the trashy spammers.
I’d love to know how to best utilize Twitter so that I can both provide very useful content — and get compensated in return…. is it possible?
I would love to learn more about how to maneuver my way @ on Twitter. I really like going on, but feel like I don’t understand a lot of the lingo and how to post properly. This sounds like it would be a great teacher which I really need. Thanks for offering the “Smart Girl’s Guide”!
How do I find more people that I want to follow? e.g. How do I accelerate the process of finding a community on Twitter that I really enjoy both in terms of what I learn and I what I teach?
I just signed up and I don’t understand all of the @, # RT stuff. I would love an easy to follow tutorial!
I would like to know how to better connect with people on Twitter. I really feel like I am missing out on the full potential of Twitter and am too overwhelmed to figure it out! Not to mention I need some guidance – I am just too busy to spend a lot of time figuring it out on my own.
The etiquette that goes along with Twitter. I don’t want Rookie stamped across my name.
Wow. I didn’t put my post on here…. or my tweet. yikes. http://twitter.com/mobrownsuga/status/4922247532
