Love messages for your beloved person and the content free statement like hi, hello, good morning should not tweeted on twitter as your followers might annoyed with it or would not be interested in reading these personal and useless information.

Fun writing tweets related to national security like “bomb in the train , hijackers are in the plane“ etc. must be avoided as it is easy to track the IP address and would arrest under charges of suspected terrorism.

A Useful Twitter Guide

Conclusion:

Twitter is a great place to establish the reputation of the user. It is not good to mix up the business stuffs and personal materials with a single twitter account. I came across many users of twitter who are blending all the things in their twitter account which makes the purpose of the twitter meaningless. 

Tweeting the interesting links, stimulating questions, humorous posts, and current affairs would shape the twitter more valuable in the online world.
