What a great post! I’m pretty new to Twitter and I’m having a blast and luckily, I didn’t KNOW there were supposed to be rules. Other than the human rules of if your friendly and interesting and just being yourself you’ll probably meet some nice friendly people.

Thanks for the tip about the folks in the Captain’s Hats. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for them and just steer clear!

Excellent post! I think you summed it up well. There may be “preferences,” but not “rules.” I also like your auto DM disclaimer at the end-very timely. :)

I actually saw someone posting about them (what they were doing-as the box says), and another user chided them for it. According to the other user, Twitter was for networking, and not talking about yourself. That was news to me.

To me it comes down to, if you don’t like how someone tweets, don’t follow them. Should be easy enough!

A breath of fresh air. Freedom to just be me on Twitter!

I like the way you think, David. Rules are made to be broken anyway;-)

Off to put a Captain’s hat on my Twitter avatar (http://tinyurl.com/5oakrq)
