You're right, Marc. Just be genuine. Be your authentic self. Don't try to impress anybody. Don't say any more or less than you would at a "non viral" cocktail party. It's an analogy I always try to keep in mind -- the cocktail party analogy. Don't push yourself on friends any faster than you would in the offline world, or at a cocktail party. Which means don't push yourself on your Twitter friends at all -- make friends in a gradual way, at a normal pace. If you do so, your mutual followers will be friends that will stick around, and eventually, they'll WANT to read what you have to say! As you stated, "be helpful, be funny, be that person people want to hang around with." I would also like to add, if I may, Sir: Be fun, have integrity, ALWAYS be nice, never embarass a fellow tweeter. If you need to speak to a tweeter about something that you think others don't need to hear, go to the DM. If you have business talk that involves them alone, then DM them. If you have a disagreement, DM them only. If you want to chit - chat with them about something, DM them.
