I am new to the twitter service and it is a little overwhelming to see so many people with 20,000+ followers, hear new terminology like hashtags, retweets etc. Here are a few tricks I picked up along the way -
1. Fill out *all* your information
Upload a custom background image and profile picture, write a small bio describing who you are, where you are from etc.
2. Search for people to follow
Use search.twitter.com to find people who tweet about things that are relevant to you or your company. I searched for "itunes connect" or "calling cards" to find people that are interested in the kinds of software we build. Services like We Follow allow you to find top tweeters by category - such as the #tech or #politics
3. Auto Follow people
It is good etiquette to follow people who follow you. Going through your email following them individually takes too long. Use a service like: Twitter Karma
4. Tweet regularly
You may want to use third party applications like Twitteriffic for your Mac, iPhone or iPod touch. You can also SMS your tweets.
