Five tips to improve your experience on Twitter

The popularity of Twitter has passed fields of early adopters, geeks and enthusiasts of the Internet and social platforms. These days Twitter is used by almost anyone. With such overcrowding, the argument "every day Twitter becomes more unbearable" or "daily read more nonsense" is more recurrent.

Twitter , like any social network should not, ever, be a bad experience, or cause bad times. As in real life, there is no need to approach spaces that make you feel comfortable, you do not hear (or in this case, read) to people you do not like, discuss topics that interest you or get into a fight .

That said, these are my five tips to improve your experience on Twitter:

1. The following someone is not a contract of friendship, much as some would have you believe so. If a friendship is based on the follow on Twitter, just not friendly. Stop following someone should not be taken as "personal."

2. Taking the first point of course, continues to call the people you care about the things they write, because you are interested in their profession or their views and their views. Follow people to "save face" because it is "politically correct" in your social circle, or to stop following someone who draws much attention for the same reasons that your timeline will be extremely boring and full of messages that interest you.

3. Avoid at all costs any movement related to reciprocity. as the #follow1x1 - Twitter is a communication platform based on interests, not friends (like Facebook). Relations, therefore, are asynchronous.

4. Keep the number of people you can follow, no more no less. Some are comfortable with 100, 1,000 and some other with 10,000, there is no rule, but neither should. Likewise, no one should reclaim the number of followers you have. And if you find yourself in the head reclaim that to someone, please remember, everyone can do what you want with your Twitter account and nobody has the right to complain. If you do not like what someone in particular is doing, just stop following him.

5. The block button is your friend. You need not read or endure the nonsense of people using Twitter to annoy or harass others. Do not be afraid to use it. Enter the profile of the person that is bothering you and lock it. You'll never know more about him or her. If you're receiving spam, you can report it.

I hope these recommendations will be useful if you have any idea to expand the list you can leave comments: I can follow on Twitter from @ earcos and this blog @ ALT1040 .
