Here’s five different and time-tested ways for you to socialize at Yahoo! Answers community:
[1] CREATE your user profile.
Of course you can respond to your questions without having a picture or avatar, linking to your Yahoo! 360 page, and so on.
Still, you want people to network with you and see that there’s more to you than just a display name. That indicates you must set up your profile thoroughly. And that involves creating and using your Yahoo! 360 profile and picture, which will differentiate yourself amongst the standard Yahoo! avatars that practically everyone else is using.
[2] CONNECT with your social network.
Yahoo! Answers enables you to develop a “friends” (contacts) community merely by browsing the other party’s user profiles and hitting “add to my contacts” button (Obviously, they’re able to block you if they consider you as an intruder.)
Twitter is one of the newer additions to the social networking age that has taken over the internet. Twitter isn’t just for the average Joe, though, everyone from celebrities like Aston Kutcher and Lady Gaga to important people within companies to the actual President of the United States of America use Twitter to communicate to a wider audience.
Despite the 160 character limit that Twitter has installed, as it was originally created for mobile updates and usage, people who use it find a way to limit their words and say what they need to say using a limited amount of characters.
For businesses, the most important thing about online websites are the numbers. Though social media marketers are sure that Twitter is a thing simply for conversation, businesses disagree. They say that there has been a boom in unique visits since signing up to and using Twitter.
Not only can a company ‘trend-set’ or get their unique trend seen by millions of users worldwide by trendsetting, there are also Twitter-based services that direct people who are interested in things like what the business provides to that business’ Twitter and, therefore, to the website that that business owns.

The Science of Tweeting
There are really 3 key aspects you should consider when actively interacting on Twitter, namely:
1. Best Time to Tweet
Best days to tweet are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. According to Sysomos.com, on these two days an average of 16% users frequent their Twitter accounts. In a previous post I’ve mentioned that Sundays are the best day to follow but on the other hand they’re the worst days to tweet.
The name of the game with Twitter is building a large and responsive followers list. It’s that simple. I mean… if you want to use Twitter as a dependable traffic source for your online business.
And the Surest Way to building a list of followers is to follow first – that if be any chance you’re not already a celebrity
At the time of this writing, Twitter has enforced a spam prevention rule that dictates you can follow up to 2000 people without anyone following you back. In order to bypass this limitation the ratio between those 2000 people you follow and those who follow you back should be of 10% or lower. In other words, if you’ve just started a twitter account, in order to take off this 2000 followers cap, you must be followed by at least 1800.
Network Marketers have understood early on the viral power of Social Media and the potential it carries in driving traffic to their online sales letters.
The one thing though, that an overwhelming 99% of online marketers didn’t undestand is that Social Media is not a free advertising billboard where they could constantly pitch their business opportunity and products.
This approach is very unproductive and could even damage reputations.
Social Media is about building relationships, allowing other people to know you and your products, building your brand and making available quality content that you publish on the internet. Of course, having a valuable contribution for the community will eventually get you the traffic and exposure your business needs in order to grow.
