Tips of the day for the Bird Diaspora:

(1) Practice self-awareness. This network is a community, not a "product." We are members not customers or bosses.

(2) Log into your account on the desktop and play around there. It's a great way to listen to what others are writing about and to boost them.

(3) Ignore people like me if you'd like. I'm #NewHere too

Hi Jen,

I have noticed that besides following people, that clicking on the bell (beside the Follow button) to get notifications when they "toot" helps a lot to get the traffic that I want.

I can definitely see moving entirely away from Twitter in due time.
