Welcome to the very first installment of the Friday links roundup here at Serve The Song. Today’s helping is all things Twitter. If you’re totally new to Twitter, check out a previous post here: Why Songwriters Should Get on Twitter.

And now for my personal Tweeting tip… Be aware of the keywords that you use in your tweets. Earlier this week, I posted a tweet about Sufjan Stevens (see it here). In the days that followed, I gained several new followers who must have found me by searching Twitter for “Sufjan Stevens”. The reason I know this is because their profiles containes lots of references to Sufjan.

Twitter Search is a hugely popular tool to finding like-minded twitterers. The search functionality is also tied into almost every Twitter App.
