Twitter only gives you 140 characters to work with, so if your hashtag is too long it’ll make it too difficult for people to use it. Keep it under 20 characters at the absolute maximum.

To actually grow your business with Twitter, it's not enough to merely tweet for the sake of tweeting -- you've also got to measure your efforts, and analyze them to see your performance. While the latter may not seem like the fun part, it's actually where all the magic happens. By figuring out what's working (and what isn't), you make more informed strategic decisions -- and hopefully work your way to be more successful down the road. This post is all about what that magic can tell you. Below are five takeaways I've found from analyzing HubSpot's Twitter account. Try out some of these strategies on your company’s Twitter account, and run your own analyses to see if they work for you, too....

They both sound pretty lame. One hangs onto not being allowed to kiss a girl and the other plays Farmville and asked a guy she doesn't know that well to help her play it. Far from the best tweet I've ever read.

When I choose someone new to follow, when I compose a new tweet, when I share and favorite an update, I seldom think about the why. My following sessions would probably seem haphazard to an outsider, and my favoriting technique comes and goes from one strategy to another. Even so, the way I use Twitter is far less random than I thought. There is science and psychology behind the way we all tweet. Researchers have discovered trends in the way that we perform every major action on Twitter—favoriting, updating, sharing, and following. And there's even an interesting bit of psychology behind what makes Twitter so attractive in the first place. Here's a look at the psychology of Twitter: what makes us follow, favorite, share and keep coming back for more....

From the article: What spurs us to follow someone on Twitter? Researchers at Georgia Tech and Michigan combined to study the factors involved in following.
The factors they came up with boiled down to three categories: social behaviors, message content, and social network structure. Here are the individual factors for each, starting with social behaviors: Tweet volumeBurstiness – tweets per hourInteractions – replies, mentions, and favoritesBroadcast communication – the ratio of tweets with no @-mentionTrustworthiness of the profile – How well is the bio filled out? Is there a URL in the profile? Is there a location listed?
The individual factors for message content: Positive/negative sentimentInformational content – ratio of tweets containing either a URL, RT, MT, HT, or “via”Meformer content – ratio of tweets containing self-referencing pronouns like “I,” “me,” “we,” and “us”Topic focusRetweets – how often your content gets retweetedHashtag usageTReDIX – Tweet Reading Difficulty Index (based on the frequency of real English words longer than 6 letters)
The individual factors in social network structure: Reciprocity – The number of people you follow who also follow youAttention-status ratio – Total followers compared to total followingNetwork overlap – How similar are the people you follow to those a follower follows
Does any of this resonate with how you choose who to follow?

Odds are, you've never met Dennis Hegstad. But you listen to him all the time. Black Zara faux leather pants, black Vans, black Ray Ban sunglasses. The oppressive October sun beats down as Hegstad sips from a bottle of kombucha outside a coffee shop.Tilting his head to avoid the glare, wispy long blond locks fall into his eyes as he scrolls through his porcelain iPhone. Cycling through multiple personas on more than a dozen Twitter profiles, his thumbs are set on rapid-fire: favorite, follow, post, respond, retweet, repeat. Finally, Hegstad looks up, the 25-year-old’s cobalt eyes trained directly on me. “Sorry, I’m…” Excuse his wandering attention: He’s not just tweeting for fun; he’s tweeting for big money--and he’s winning....

...I admire NPR because it is an ever-flowing source of great content. Its content is so good that it can run a pledge-drive every few months. This promotion is heinous because it interrupts programming to do the most pedestrian of things: ask for money. And yet we tolerate, if not participate in, the pledge drives!

Guy Kawasaki shares his social media strategy and it's one worth considering: "Following me on social media means that you are drinking from a fire hose. I subscribe to the “more is more” philosophy of social-media—meaning that I share approximately ten to fifty posts everyday to provide a constant flow of information, analysis, education, and assistance to my followers."

I will probably get beaten real hard for this headline, but at least it should effectively steal your attention (…you will thank me for this very soon) Nobody is actually wrong. I’ve reached out to pro bloggers and online marketers with one simple question: What is your #1 tactic for getting traffic from Twitter? And every piece of advice I got was different, but completely legitimate. However if you decide to follow it – you are very likely to fail. That’s because of the gap between “what the blogger meant to say”and “what you thought he meant”. So in this article I’m not just thoughtlessly copy/pasting the text that I’ve got from pro bloggers, but I’m actually going to explain the context that stands behind each answer....

Only three years ago, Mark didn’t see the point of Twitter. It was a slew of terms like ‘hamthrax’, ‘aporkalypse’ and ‘porkenstein’ that convinced him.“ I was watching a real-time global brainstorming session for a tongue-in-cheek list of alternative names for swine flu,” Mark recalled. “It made me realize we are on the cusp of something amazing here." ‘Cusp’ is the key word because, says Mark, most marketers have not yet leveraged Twitter for all of its potential.
