There is a social media decorum that if honored will reap social media marketing rewards. In regards to Twitter that social media decorum  involves sharing other's content and being conversational. Believe it or not one can be conversational even in the extremely fast moving Twitter feed by the use of the "@" character and can extend the life  and increase the listing of your Tweets by the "#" character. Re-Tweeting other's Twitter posts get's their attention and help's share their value content with others. It is also appropriate to Re-Tweet some of your own posts if they are still relevant, again due to the fast moving Twitter feed. Creating and subscribing to Twitter lists enable you to target various keywords, brands and personalities. Following Twitter decorum can mean greater effectiveness with Twitter networking.
