Great tips! I really need to take you advice about using trending hashtags. That's something that I haven't done too much of yet. But, as you also point out, it's extremely important for brands to use the hashtag appropriately and only participate if you actually have something relevant to say, and to not risk it if you're aren't sure.

Jonathan - Excellent points. My favorite is one about engaging with readers. Social media is different from others in that perspective. You cannot blast the messages to your audience in one direction. It is only when you have an interactive dialog with your reader that you get the most value from it.
