Show your personality, be personable…it doesn’t mean you have to tweet to fill time or share every little thing, but it means it doesn’t have to be news to be a good tweet. Share what you are comfortable with
Find the voice that’s appropriate for your audience and content. Sometimes it takes awhile
Tweet breaking news, questions, comments – you don’t need to have a link to tweet (but ut helps traffic if you do)
That said, don’t just promo a story here, this isn’t a permanent medium, people won’t remember this tweet and they’ll likely just get mad that you’re teasing them with such mundane stuff
Verification when needed
Ask for tips, share them if you get them
Groups tweets around a common keyword – so make sure you know what that keyword is used for elsewhere
Local is better than regional, but make it something people would use
Search at search.twitter.com and see if there’s a hashtag. Ask event organizers. Ita best to use what people are using
Geographic better than branded, if there’s one out there, use it. Don’t have competing hashtags
Hashtags.orgLocal better than branded – think about what you’re trying to glean from this hashtag, who you want to reach
Twitter.com/lists
News ords only use pages
Share what you would share yourself personally on Facebook – and in the same way. People respond to that, not stiff questions or, god forbid, “my story today”

Twitter or FB, they might RT, but at the very least, those who follow could see it
