part 2Hey, it’s the cookie monster, back for the attack. Does anyone have a big glass of milk? Yawn! If you haven’t yet, make sure you read Part 1 of this series. A little tip, I don’t want to know about every mundane detail of your life: when you wake up, when you brush your teeth, when you pick your nose, et cetera. Give me a break, please.

Then, you ought to consider using Twitter to spread your word and your ideas to the masses. Not your goofy ideas, like an electric toilet, but your quality, innovative ideas. Remember, yakking about your roommate’s odd personal hygiene habits is not a quality tweet.

The technical aspects aside, since they are easy enough for anyone to learn, you gotta figure out how to relate to other people in this social network. If all you do is tweet about meaningless drivel, don’t come crying to me when nobody wants to follow you. Do you really want to know how to advance your career through Twitter?
