Tips

These can be anything from how to use lists in Twitter to best ways for ensuring images you use in your blog are appropriately attributed, best practices and things we learnt from experience.

So…

Lists in twitter…

Can be useful if you’re following a lot of accounts and need to keep track of a a specific group of people or companies; add them to a list you create and you can share it, keep it private and easily keep up with tweets by people you sorted into lists which make sense to you.

Here’s one I made earlier.

Ah, you can also follow other people’s lists if they are public. Feel free. You don’t have to follow the individual accounts on the list, which can come in handy as you follow more and more people.
