the BEST TIMES
NOT
to TWEET
NOT in the path
of
Snowstorms,
hurricanes,
tsunamis…
. . . your tweets vs. celeb
tweets. R u kidding?!
#hashtag streams and a
gazillion fans tweeting and
RT’ing . . . guess who wins?
Unless you are participating in
the #stream, no one will
notice your unrelated tweets
while millions are reacting to
the sad news.
NOT when
major
celebrities
die

NOT DURING
BREAKING
NEWS
STORIES. .

Twitter IS the best
source for breaking
news . . . The news
agencies know it, and
so should you.

days!

really
think you
can win
loyalty to
your biz
if you distract loyal fans from
their games?
and NOT during
primetime

reality shows.

In our constantly migrating nation, there are relatives, friends, colleagues
that may be in those paths. Twitter IS the best source for learning what it’s

ignoring these events for your own benefit of market share? Engaging will
show your human side—much better exposure for you and your biz. Better
