am on there as cabanasbeachhut. Have even less idea what I'm doing than ever. Don't have any followers yet.
I've popped by.
Start by joining one or two "hour" chats. Every day there are different hashtags through the day, several counties have one, lunchtime ones and all sorts. Search the hashtag of your choice and then join in the chat!
Retweet interesting and relevant tweets, follow relevant accounts and just see what happens! I always add people to a relevant list. It doesn't matter when you start but it's so much easier to find what you need if you have people in different lists once you have a few hundred followers.

Facebook posts will only ever show up as links unless they're less than 140 characters in which case it will look like it originated on Twitter. I've seen posts saying things like "we've reached 1000 likes, thank you" on someone who has say 300 twitter followers. You then realise it's actually a facebook post! Photos etc you need to post direct to Twitter.

That's amazing Lindisfarne. I'm sure I've asked you before but how are you tracking them? I get a lot of traffic from twitter but I'm not aware of direct conversions.
What's the secret to your success there do you think? I get many followers but only follow those I want to. Should I be stalking more people? Saying hello personally to new followers?

That's my nightmare scenario and why I don't use Twitterbook. If I lost contact with a friend it's for a very good reason, probably because I owed them money. What's the point of moving several hundred miles and covering all my tracks only to go and announce my existence and whereabouts to all my creditors?Rosie wrote: I have found a good friend who I last contact with years ago!
