Twitter is about open conversation. You can communicate to many and broadcast your thoughts and ideas to all of your Twitter followers. Or send private tweets to specific individuals. The important thing is to keep the channel open for conversation. Invest time either daily or weekly to post what’s going on with you and your business to let people know you’re out there. Once you go go silent people lose interest and will stop following you. Bad!
