AUTHORS – Great advice from Leona 😀
In the light of Tricia Drammeh’s excellent post titled Facebook Etiquette For Authors I decided to write one on Twitter etiquette.
I have heard countless complaints from many book bloggers and other authors about Twitter accounts set up like annoying spam bots. Here is a list of things which should help those new to Twitter:

Being relatively new to Twitter i have been looking for something like this! I certainly recognize the behaviours you mention here. So many people playing games.
I run what i call a “+1 service” but with a twist…I actually re-tweet all the work i find interesting, not only my own. I consider it to be helping folks to possibly reach that special someone who may assist them in their literary ambitions. If I succeed as well…all the better.
The worst platform i have found for reciprocal disengenuous shennanigans is by far Pinterest. I am abhorred by the behaviour i see there.
Thanks again.
Darren.
