原文是作者在twitter上玩微博的經驗總結（英文原文作者：Darren Rovell），對於國內玩微博的童鞋也同樣有借鑑意義，很多技巧應該是相通的。節選編譯如下：Late last night, I hit 100,000 followers on Twitter. In honor of the milestone, I'm taking a shot and imparting all I've learned in my 853 days using the platform.
昨晚我的微博（即Twitter）一晚上增加了100,000個粉絲。為了紀念這個歷史性時刻，我嘗試寫一下這853天來玩微博的經驗吧。
1. Twitter is for everyone. A person in any profession can help his or her career if he or she utilizes it correctly.
微博是每個人的舞臺。任何行業的人如果能利用好微博，都將有助於自己事業的提升。
2. Only follow your friends if they have something you want to hear. Facebook is for friendships.
你想知道朋友的近況，關注他們就可以。Facebook 就是為增進友誼的。
3.For the rest of eternity, no one is going to believe you if you said you were hacked, even if you were. Sorry.
如果你在微博上說被人砍了，永遠不會有人信，即使是真的。抱歉。
4. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was your Twitter account. Developing a strong following takes time and effort.
羅馬不是一天建成的，你的微博帳號也是。發展大批的粉絲是需要時間和精力的。
5．Check out your followers. If someone's bio looks interesting, follow them.
看看你的粉絲頁。如果有人的微博看起來好玩，回粉。
6. Don't ask to be followed. Twitter is a meritocracy. Earn it.
別去求粉，微博是一個滿是精英的地方。去表現得你是值得粉（關注）的。
7. Don't tweet out inspirational quotes unless that's the purpose of your account. By now everyone has heard "Carpe Diem, seize the day." -Horace
別發勵志名言，除非你的微博帳號就是用來專門發這些的。現在微博上到處都是"及時行樂，抓住今天（Horace）"，這樣的名言。
8. Don't tweet that you are bored. Now I am too.
別發微博說"我很無聊"。我也會覺得無聊了。
9. If you follow someone, don't be offended if they don't follow you back. Not everyone plays for "Team Followback." Earn their follow from strong, periodic @replies if you feel that you have something to offer.
如果你粉了某人別人沒粉你，不要不開心。不是每個人都有粉必回。當你覺得有話要跟他們說時，你可以時不時地@他們，或許他們會回粉你。
10. Don't be tempted by the speed of Twitter. Take a breath before each tweet and ask, "If I was a follower, would I want to read this?" If not, delete it.
不要頻繁發微博，每發一條之前深呼吸一口，問問自己，如果我是粉絲，我願意看到這些嗎？如果不是，刪了它。
11. Proofread your tweets. The amount of typos in 140 characters is mind blowing.
校對下你的微博。140個字裡出現的打字錯誤數是令人大跌眼鏡的。
12. Quantity of tweets is fine as long as it's quality. I average more than 40 tweets a day.
有數量的發微博是可以的，只要是有質量的。我每天平均發40多條。（這在國內是不是算"刷屏"了呀？）
13. Just because you are getting slammed doesn't mean you should blame Twitter. Learn to absorb the hate and get a thicker skin, it's useful in life.
不要因為你在微博上被抨擊了而怪罪於微博。學會接受別人的惡言，臉皮變厚點，這在生活中也是有用的。
14. If you're RTing (retweeting) someone with comment, it's OK to shorten up their original tweet in order to keep it under 140. Just don't alter the original person's intended message.
轉發評論別人微博時，為了保證在140字以內，刪短別人的原話是可以的。只要別改變他人的原意。
15. Don't harbor on the fact that you lost one follower. Rejoice in the fact that you gained two.
別為你又少了一個粉絲而耿耿於懷，為你又添了兩個粉大笑吧。
未完待續……
