20 Ways to Look Dumb on Twitter by OPEN Forum

1. Tweet randomly, because you don’t have a strategy, and just hope your target customers will start following you.
2. Use up all 140 characters so nobody can retweet your message.
3. Use a long Twitter handle that takes up valuable space and leaves little room to actually write something.
4. Keep full URL links in your tweets, instead of
shortening your links (using a service like Bitly), which greatly
minimizes the number of retweets.
5. Talk only about yourself and your business.
