1. Only tweeting about yourself
   • You will come off as boring, self-centered, and generally lose followers
   • You will miss out on gaining followers, since talking about people often leads to them following you
2. Not tweeting at all
   • If you don’t tweet then you don’t exist
   • To be relevent and read on twitter you must post
3. Tweeting too often about every minute detail of your day
   • No one cares about your steak unless it’s really good and they can get one too
   • No one wants to know how many times you go to the bathroom
   • All this extra noise will drive followers away
4. Repeating your tweets too often
   • If your followers see the same tweets over and over they WILL get annoyed
   • Your followers will think you are a robot or a spammer
   • Your followers WILL unfollow you
5. Not repeating your tweets
   • Not everyone is logged into twitter at the same time
   • Twitter is a STREAM of information
   • If you don’t repeat a little then your tweets will vanish under a flood of more recent tweets

The trick is to find a balance between the land of "Me, me, ME!" and the land of "everything BUT me." Keep the account active, and remind your followers that you're there & you offer something of value. Happy Tweeting!
