Two accounts I’ve ALWAYS noticed being awesome at Twitter are @together and @mmmmaven. Together is Boston’s annual week-long electronic music, technology, and art festival. Mmmmaven is a DJ and production school located in Central Square, Cambridge. Both of them are on our list of who to follow in Boston because not only do they both provide followers with music-related things to do in Boston, but also things in the area involving art and technology. Even though the festival is once per year, the Together team is active year-round. Aside from Mmmmaven’s courses, they also tweet about free workshops, which are great for people who want to get into music (DJ’ing and/or producing) but don’t know where to start.
If your question is “WHY ARE THEY BOTH SO GOOD AT TWEETING?” your answer is because @daviday handles them both. He has also offered his top tips for you!
Find more A&E Twitter accounts at our list of Who to Follow in Boston.
1. Tweetdeck
Download Tweetdeck if you haven’t yet. In Chrome, it’s best as an app. It will change the way you look at Twitter.
2. Interact
Every time you open your feed, don’t forget to favorite things. Like a Tweet? That’s what the favorite button is for.
3. Create a paper.li newsletter
Definitely for anyone who considers them a leader in their field or any business – paper.li can automatically pick followers up for you because it autotags some of the most popular accounts.
4. Follow your neighbors
Every time I start a new account, I pull up Google Maps and find every Twitter account in the surrounding area. Be a good neighbor and stay in touch with your hyperlocal surroundings.
5. Schedule tweets
More and more often, people have their Tweetdeck pulled up most of the evening (what they call the “second screen”). So if you’re working 9-5, don’t forget to schedule some for later, because Twitter addicts are hardcore.
