Because every character counts, you'll want to truncate the links you share with the world. Third-party services such as Bit.ly and Ow.ly will do this for you, and they also offer analytics for tracking who retweets your link and how many people click on it. Popular desktop apps such as TweetDeck automatically shorten links for you.

You can invite your friends to join Twitter by going to your profile drop-down menu and selecting Who To Follow, then selecting the Find friends tab and connecting with your e-mail account address book. Or, from the Browse Interests tab, you can check out the top draws in various categories, such as Charity, News, and Technology. Also, Twitter has improved its recommendations, and can offer you suggestions based on who you already follow. These appear on your home profile page on the right. The third-party service Listorious can also help you find followers. This site offers a keyword-searchable database of more than 2 million top Twitter users. Check out the Top 140 Lists or the 140 Most Followed People. You can also try registering on Listorious to encourage more people to follow you.

Malicious links to malware sites, mass following or unfollowing to get attention, posting unwanted messages to users, exclusively sending messages on trending topics to grab eyeballs, repeatedly posting duplicate updates; all of these offenses constitute Twitter spam. To report a spammer, go to that account's profile and click the drop-down menu. Then click Report @username For Spam. Twitter will then block the offending user from following you or replying to you, and that account will get reviewed by the Twitter Trust and Safety Team.
