Another recent accolade received was a mention in the annual "Best Of" issue of the Sacramento News & Review. My kudos is in the catagory for Best Twitter Feed.

Here are my 5 easy tips for tweeting: 

1. Keep it TASTY. Soundbites are short, pithy and memorable communiques that are easy to understand. This is Twitter at its best. 
   
2. Re-tweet the SWEET. What I'm saying is: SHARE the love. Talking only about yourself on twitter is b-o-r-i-n-g. Just like in real life. Take some time to share other people's projects, links and relevant information.
   
3. Be a TWEETHEART. Show appreciation. Say Thank-you. Shout out. Acknowledging the folks that support you is good manners, and it feels nice.
   
4. Be YOURSELF. Just do it in an interesting way.
   
5. Promote the QUOTE. People LOVE a good quote. When you find one, share it on Twitter!

Let me call you Tweetheart. Oh darlin', I tweet. A LOT. @citizenrosebudz
