Remember, Twitter is a conversation. Ask questions; don't just pontificate. What part of 140 characters do you not understand? Remember the limitations. Some things are better left unsaid. So avoid stream-of-consciousness-blogging via Twitter. Transparency is vital - just as with any other social media. Consider quality vs. quantity. Many users provide links to interesting articles, information. Use proper grammar. If people follow you, it's polite to "follow" them back. However, because of that, be careful about adding too many people at one time -- that's the Twitter version of spamming. People will think you're trying to sell or hype something rather than start a conversation. It's really all about the art of conversation. http://rob573.blogspot.com/2009/07/twitter-etiquette-10-simple-rules.html

Tell them you are following them, so they can DM you Most post their website on their Twitter home page. Most have their e-mail address on their website. Follow-up with an e-mail saying you saw the tweet.
Etiquette By Lacey Haines ( @ laceyhaines ), K/F Communications, San Francisco and Adam Vincenzini ( @ adamvincenzini ), Paratus Communications, London. KEEP YOUR PITCHES SHORT: E-mail pitches are still too long, and several people we heard from preferred a 140-character pitch on Twitter, to a traditional one via e-mail. DIRECT MESSAGES ARE BETTER THAN @REPLY: Reporters can’t “opt-in” to pitches, but they can with Twitter. If there is a mutual following between PR people and a reporter, it usually means they know each other, and may welcome a direct message more than a longer e-mail pitch. A reporter for a major US business daily (who asked not to be quoted) said that he only follows PR people he knows or has worked with in the past, and prefers DM to @reply because he wouldn’t want competitors to know who he’s speaking with. TWITTER PITCHES ARE NOVEL: A journalist for the News of the World(UK) said that but only one or two direct messages, so pitches made through Twitter stand out more. And even if there isn’t a direct relationship in the beginning, pitching on Twitter has helped reporters and PR people build relationships that continue on e-mail or in person.
