7. Be Transparent. If you are linking to a client or using an affiliate link, disclose it.
8. Keep your Hashtags short and useful.
9. Thank You! The 2 Most Powerful Words in Social Media.  Thank your Followers for a ReTweet or Mention.
10. Optimize your BIO. Include links,  keywords, and hastags so you easy to find.
11. Engage, engage, engage. The repeat!
12. Become an authority in your niche.  Everybody is an expert at something.
13. If you are ReTweeting someone, always give them credit.
14. Don't be afraid to block people from your Twitter feed.  Nobody likes spam or negatives tweets.
15. Write great titles in less than 120 characters. (This takes practice).
16. Be yourself.
17. DO NOT post your Twitter feed to LinkedIn. Use the #IN hashtag and be selective.
18. Linking to video, photos, or music is a great way to enhance the experience.
19. Put your Twitter Handle in your email signature.
20. Ask questions.
21. Don't put your Twitter Feed in the sidebar of your blog.  This will direct people away from your site.

23. Social Media Strategy. You must have a plan.

Twitter is an awesome channel to use for your inbound marketing strategy or just for personal use.  Keep it fun and engage your followers.  They will have more interesting stuff to say then you or I do.  At least this is the strategy we implore because Twitter is about Them, Not You.
