Even since we were young, we’ve been taught to be polite and the facets of proper etiquette. “Please” and “Thank You”, opening doors, finishing our plates, and tucking in our shirts. So why do we forget all our decent upbringing as soon as we turn on our computers? 
After having a Twitter account for 2 months, I’ve learned some tips on proper ”tweeting” etiquette. Like 140-character mini blog posts, “tweets” should:
- Have a conversational tone
- Include useful or relevant information
- Respond to other users’ updates
- Be interactive
- Always include a hyperlink
- Focus on a niche market
- And most importantly: Be regularly updated
Sounds like a lot of work, yes, but if people or businesses are serious and want to capitalize on the social networking system Twitter provides, they should learn the etiquitte. Don’t be that person that puts their elbows on ther perverbial internet table- know the rules of Twitter and follow them… Please.

We are a different class of college students every Spring. Together we explore what it means to do business in a "Web 2.0" world. Technology, new businesses, cutting-edge trends, we cover them all! 
This post is very clever. I think that blogging etiquette should be addressed more often.
