Common Mistakes on Twitter

Twitter is an exciting, cool, and extremely profitable social network site. Millions of people are now using the site to talk about various subjects. Indeed, it is a micro-blogging site for those who can’t stop talking. There are also common mistakes that most new users commit on Twitter. Before you start sending tweets, you must be aware of these common mistakes.

Mistake number 1 the picture on your avatar is not yours. Most new users don’t post their real picture. They often use cartoon pictures, company logos, or their pet’s pictures. Although the pictures are quite cute, most Twitter users will appreciate a real picture of you. When you post your true picture on Avatar, others will think that you’re real and that you’re confident enough to let others see you. If you’re going to upload a photo, choose the ones where you give a beautiful smile. A smile can easily brighten the day of others.

Sending direct messages automatically through the AutoDM; direct messages are often impersonal and pushy. If you send this type of messages, you can lose your followers. TweetLater is another tool that sends automatic messages. When you use these tools, messages are automatically sent to those who follow you. A message saying ‘thanks for following me’ is fine but sending automated messages promoting your business or product is not a good idea and most people will just frown at them.

Do you have any followers? If you want to have followers, you need to follow people or you can at least create an interesting profile page. You can get followers by regularly posting updates. If you keep on following people and yet you don’t make updates on your page, you can’t get enough followers.

The 140-character tweets should be used to answer the Twitter question. Answering that question once a day may be enough to let others know that you’re interested in the community. You can post what you’re doing for the day or where you plan to go for the night. Tweets are great for starting conversations. You can also re-tweet other users or send them comments.

Check your numbers regularly. It’s not good to follow many people when you have very few individuals following you. Try to achieve balance. Make sure that the one you follow will also follow you back and you should also appreciate the ones who follow you. This is the easiest way to make friends on Twitter.

Use tools like Tweetdeck so that you don’t need to stay online all the time. Through this application, you can divide your followers into groups. Now, you can easily track them especially when they send direct messages and replies.

If you keep on promoting your business all the time, everyone will ‘unfollow’ you. No one likes a person who talks about his business or product most of the time. You must learn to respect others. As you may have forgotten, Twitter is a social network.

You must learn how to communicate and build good relationships before you start bombarding them with promotions. Even if you already have a god list of leads, it is still not a good idea to barrage them with promotions. Promotional tweets should be sent in limited numbers only.

These are the common mistakes committed by new and old tweeters. Take note of them and don’t commit the same mistakes.

The 'READERS FEATURED' Range

This is the second in an exciting new range of books. In this story, the characters first name, and even some of the visual descriptions and sexual preferences of them, match those provided by one of my genuine readers.

Essentially, for the lucky reader that was chosen, and agreed to take part, it will read like 'they' are participating in this story!

- - For those who like to worship (or have a hopeless fetish for) feet! - -

Chris was mesmerised by my feet as soon as he saw them - his eyes glazing over, his hands shaking terribly, as he took hold of my shoe to take a look at it. No wonder Geri, the owner of the shoe repair shop I was reclining in, kept his worker hidden away in the workshop out the back - away from the customers!

But Geri wasn't here, forcing Chris to watch the front of the shop for a few hours, where he'd have to look at, touch, and also 'smell' the feet of the ladies that came in with a problem. As soon as I saw the state he'd got himself in, I decided to tease him, and tempt him - which he bit, hook, line and sinker.

But in fairness it wasn't all about him! An old boyfriend of mine, Dougie, used to love playing with my feet; licking them, kissing them, and sucking longingly on my toes - and I loved it too! And despite the fact that I was happily married now, the tender touch of Chris's lips and tongue on my bare feet reminded me just how much I'd missed it, and how helpless I might get if he continued as he was.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTENT WARNING
This story primarily features scenes of foot worship and the pleasuring thereof - that's soles, heels, toes, and the cute, narrow, moist gaps between them - all of which are licked and sucked by the submissive male down on his knees. It also features male and female masturbation (to climax) and lots of truly dirty talking.

I hope all of my readers, and especially Chris, enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. - Keep having fun... Zoe!

A Comedian's Guide to Theology: Featured Comedian on the Best-Selling DVD Thou Shalt LaughThor Ramsey (hereafter known as the Jon Stewart of the theological world) defends the essentials of the Christian faith in this volume of comedy for the thinking person. Armed with only a laptop and a rapier wit, he defends the inspiration of the Bible ("all Scripture is inspired by God"—in other words, when you tell someone off, quote the Bible), the doctrine of total depravity (calling someone out for their sins is a tricky business, especially if you don't know how to operate a bullhorn), and the supremacy of Christ (or why Thor's God is bigger than your god), along with a host of other essential doctrines of the Christian faith. Packed with funny stories and hard-hitting truths, this comprehensive collection of biblical insights and personal anecdotes will surprise readers, destroy their misconceptions and leave them wanting more. For readers looking alternatives to the conversation of traditional faith, or those who have a taste for fearless (and hilarious) honesty, A Comedian's Guide to Theology will permanently change how we all look at Christianity—or at least offer a good-hearted shove out of the box (or back in the box, if that's where you need to be). "What a supreme pleasure to read a book that I find powerfully honest, theologically kapow dead-on, and incredibly and ACTUALLY funny funny funny funny! This book is so brilliantly funny and dead-on that if I weren't a very mature Christian I might be jealous." —Eric Metaxas, New York Times best-selling author of Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery, and former editor of The Yale Record.

 

Word of Mouth: Poems Featured on NPR's All Things ConsideredStarting in 1995, NPR’s All Things Considered began presenting poets reading their own works. Introduced by “poetry DJ” Catherine Bowman, these popular short segments allowed listeners to experience poetry as a kind of verbal music, recalling its roots as a spoken art form. Word of Mouth, edited by Bowman, brings together the poems that have been featured on NPR, providing a window onto the dynamic contemporary poetry scene. A child playing with flashes of sunlight in the aisle of an airplane; a woman describing tropical fruit to someone in a faraway country; a man building a deck with his dead father’s hammer; the musings of a Barbie doll participating in a 12-step program: these poems powerfully and lyrically transform the stuff of every day life. A celebration of the poetic voice that includes 33 acclaimed writers, this vibrant anthology proves beyond any doubt that poetry is far more than just words on paper.

- - For those who like dirty, nasty, cheating wives! - -

I'd suspected my husband of cheating for years, and after employing one of those beautiful 'honey-trap' detectives, I got the proof, when she sent some damning photos to my mobile.

However I hadn't expected the images to be quite as hardcore as they were; the filthy slut taking my husband every which way, and taking his seed inside her body, and all over her face!

And I certainly hadn't expected how angry I would feel at seeing them, and how incredibly strong my need for revenge would become, almost straight away.

That's the reason I ended up here, in this dingy little bar on the outskirts of town, where I would offer myself to these two strangers, allowing them to do whatever they wished with me, as I saught to make up for all of the dirty sex I'd missed out on, while in wedlock with that cheating f**k!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTENT WARNING
At my two 'featured' readers request, and written with my absolute pleasure, this story contains several strong themes, including fingering, mild bondage, forced ass worship, rimming, facesitting, and even some decidedly dirty clean up – the latter of which will be familiar to those who have read and enjoyed my story The Cuckold Kiss. I've covered all of these themes before in my stories, but never all together at once like this.

ADDITIONAL CONTENT WARNING
Towards the end of the story, one of the male characters voluntarily does an act of 'clean-up' on the female character (consuming the other mans spend in the process), an act which some male readers might be offended by. If you think you might be, either don't read the story, or stop at the time recommended at the start of the book. The story is fun for all without this section.

I hope all of my readers, and especially Dan and Simon, enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. - Keep having fun... Zoe!

Dumdum (Featured story in the anthology "New Stories from the South: the year's best of 2005")At first the inbred calves are a burden and embarrassment to "the boy," that is until the local squatters at the little country store begin trying to sell them to a stranger passing through. "Never name a cow," one of the old men tells the boy. Too late; the boy has already named them and is in love with them, especailly the cow he calls Dumdum. Every day the locals watch the boy parade the cows along the main road through Howell, Georgia, and even help him chase them off the railroad tracks when a frieght train rumbles through. Though they dislike the calves as much as the boy likes them, they don't have the heart to see them dead on the tracks.
