I’ll be leading Edge Business Magazine‘s Twitter for Dummies workshop next Tuesday, April 14, from 7 to 8:30 a.m. at The Gazette, 500 3rd Ave. SE in Cedar Rapids. (Space is limited, so register now.) This is the tip sheet I will suggest that participants read after the workshop. I encourage Twitter users to add their tips in the comments.

Valid questions about Twitter use are welcome here as are critical comments in the context of addressing issues in the use of Twitter. For this post and the related post, I will not approve comments by non-journalists that simply complain about Twitter and my frequent writing about Twitter. Feel free to post them on another blog entry.
