Ten Etiquette Twips for Conference Tweeters1. Be courteous to those sitting around you.2. Send only 1 or 2 Updates from a session. Share a twugget not a twanscript.3. Ask any questions you have. No limits on query-based Updates.4. Answer questions with @username in Replies so the person asking a

question can see the response.5. Include URLs of important content shared by presenters in your Updates.

Use URL shortening application to reduce total characters.6. Include the conference hash tag, (e.g. #MIC09) on all conference-relate

Updates to help others find and organize content for their PLN.7. Retweet (RT) valuable Updates from other participants letting others know

that an important idea has been shared.8. Write concise updates. It’s hard to ReTweet Updates that use all or most of

the 140-character limit.9. Avoid writing cryptic Updates. Texting is for kids.10. Golden Twip: Tweet only what is appropriate to stand and say during a

conference session.
