Twitter Usage Tip – Check Your Spelling

When you’re setting up your Twitter profile you have the option to provide information about yourself (or your company / product / service).

So, for example, if you are trying to promote yourself as an expert in “development” don’t spell it as “devleopment”.

(We all know that people will make spelling mistakes and typos when “tweeting”, but that’s a different issue entirely!)
