I’ve written so many articles about using Twitter for Social Networking and I have mentioned briefly about the bio on your Twitter profile, so now, I thought it was about time I went into this a bit more.

Your Twitter bio is possible one of the most important things that people will check when they view your Twitter page and leaving this blank is a complete No No! And yet again filling it with spammy words just to get followers is another NO NO, as most tweeters will know what your doing it..

Since originally writing this article I have updated it and extended it a little with some more useful tips

There comes a time when those that actually never take the time to change the default image on Twitter have to go, the majority of the time these tweeters are spammers and from time to time you may want to unfollow them on Twitter if you have followed them using something like SocialOomph, but how can you do it?

Well this is how…..

So there you go another week of Twitter Follow Friday Recommendations, keep an eye on my twitter @BlazingMinds I may be tweeting out some others later

Well it’s Friday again and as I say every week, where does the time go, anywho This week I’ve decided to bring you my top 20 Tweeters, this weeks list is made up of the 20 tweeters that have mentioned me @BlazingMinds on Twitter.

But before I bring you the big 20, I thought you all my like a little recap on what Twitter is, no seriously, this is probably the best way to describe Twitter to those that have no idea what it is, I tell you there are people out there who still don’t even know that Twitter exists ;)

Ok that’s enough of that, now on to the 20 Tweeters for this weeks Twitter FollowFriday
Are you in the 20? Read on to find out

It’s been a busy week for me this week, what with blogging here on my blog, producing some new tracks for my music project, Remergence and going out to work to pay the bills, sometimes I think I’m going to meet myself going out the door as I’m coming in

Anywho! Yesterday was Twitter FollowFriday and in the bliss of quickness I posted up my FollowFriday recommendations on Twitter, but, as I always like to mention them here as well, I thought I better knock up this post quickly and bring to you my choice, so here we go I tweeted in two parts, all the Tweeters on the list are those that have mentioned @BlazingMinds in either conversation or RTs.

But wait, there’s more!

As you may have remembered last week I posted up the start of my series of posts where each week I bring you a list of those that I recommend for the Twitter Follow Friday.

Last week was just a list, but this week I decided to bring you a list of the top 10 then have mentioned my twitter @BlazingMinds and that have taken the time to have twitter conversations, so this list is one for those of you who like to are interested in twitters who actually take the time to reply

Ok, let’s get on with it the list is in no particular order and I’m also including a bio of the tweeter, remember my blog is now using Anytime for Twitter so just hover over the twitter name for even more stats and to follow them, oh yeah, don’t forget to take look at the new twitter box near the end of the post

So there you have it this weeks top 10 tweeters for my FollowFriday recommendations, this list was made with the help of FollowFriday Helper.

This is a question that I have been asked before by loads of my friends and I thought I would write a short post on my tips for your mass of DMs or Direct Messages that you may have building up on your Twitter profile.

First of all your DMs shouldn’t really give you any cause for concern, even though they may be a bit of a pain to have loads, they are generally not a problem, but, if you do want to get rid of them, there is sadly no option on Twitter to delete multiple DMs, so how do you do it?
