Twitter has become part of everyday life with over 360 million accounts signed up and live. However for a majority of users see Twitter just as a platform used to share random thoughts within 140 characters a couple of times a day.Beyond that they don’t get much more out of it.

What to Write in a Twitter Bio to Help Grow a Following
One of the key aspects of using Twitter to promote yourself, a business, service or product online is to grow a targeted list of followers.
When growing a following it’s important to keep in mind that you want to attract a targeted list of follows. In most cases the ‘right’ sort of followers are those who are interested in what you have to say and therefore more likely to make an interaction (e.g. re-tweet or visit).
A key area you can get the message across about what your Twitter account is about is through your bio; made up of your name, location, a 160 character introduction and one link. With so little real estate to work with, getting a succinct message that tells potential followers what you do and tweet about is key to attracting targeted followers.

How to Engage with Social Media Properly
Social Media wasn’t something that ever massively appealed to me or came easily as a skill. I was one of the last of my friend group to have a MySpace page and almost as soon as I made it everyone moved to Facebook!Now I have a Facebook page but for years the only updates on it were as old as the account. It lingered in the background of my mind slowly but surely collecting unread messages from people who actually have my phone number. With every message that cumulated in my inbox my interest plunged a little closer to total apathy.

Whilst extension talks are ongoing; Twitter will no doubt be sweating over the much-needed investment whilst social search could be on the brink of another major upheaval.
