— Rob Christianson (@robchristianson) March 10, 2016

A7 I feel like I'm being yelled at – like those cheesy late night tv sales ads – you get my attention but no conversion #twittersmarter
— Jeff Dagley (@jdags) March 10, 2016
A7) To me all caps seems aggressive and dominating. Who wants to deal with somebody whose all about them in social media? #twittersmarter

@MadalynSklar A7 denotes yelling, Dearie; but stressing ONE word (I believe) is acceptable #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/OVek5DTFKx

A7. MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS BROKEN. WHY IS EVERYONE IGNORING ME? https://t.co/JHz1x0BAzO

Q8 (last question). How often should you check and respond to your mentions and messages? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/4RD6zkSOiO
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) March 10, 2016
A8 You should be checking for engagement on at least a daily basis – and use a dashboard that supports you in doing so! #TwitterSmarter
— Neal Schaffer (@NealSchaffer) March 11, 2016
A8: Check your mentions & messages at least once daily, more if you can. You are here to be social. So do it! Engage! #TwitterSmarter
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) March 10, 2016
A8: Real-time is the best policy for responding, but not always feasible. Definitely be sure to check in a few times a day #TwitterSmarter

A8. Mentions – ASAP | Messages – Will take some time. But sometimes I just press ♥ instead of replying for mentions. 😛 #TwitterSmarter
— HellBound Bloggers (@HellBoundBlog) March 10, 2016
A8 try to be timely. At least in 24 hrs. If you miss sth (you're not a robot!), apologize and make a mense. With a funny gif #TwitterSmarter
— Zala Bricelj (@ZalkaB) March 10, 2016
A8. Always respond, but use your discretion. Some cases don't warrant a reply eg. Abusive tweets #TwitterSmarter

@MadalynSklar A8 when you can, Its import to engage w/ people that mention & message you cause that's how you build #TwitterSmarter
— Natacha Sent Me (@NatachaSentMe) March 10, 2016
@MadalynSklar A8: No responses, no engagement.
Frequency is a reflection on how well you engage — More often, the better.#TwitterSmarter— Devaashish S. Savant (@Devaashish_) March 10, 2016
A8) 2x a day, 1st in the morning and 2nd in the night. Like 14 hrs between. So I can catch tweets from all time zones #twittersmarter
