25 Twitter Accounts That Will Make Your Maintenance More Reliable

How could 140 character messages have any value?  If you are reading my writing, you probably do not belong to Gen X, Gen Y or even a Gen Z.  Tweeter me this and twitter me that – it all seems like nonsense right?

If you do not understand the value of some of the new media networks, have some patience and try this quick 5-minute, 10-step Twitter Tutorial.

If you do not immediately agree that this is a GREAT way to get focused information in a quick easy-to-read format, then you never have to visit Twitter ever again.

Step 1)  Visit Twitter at http://www.twitter.com

Step 2) Create a FREE Twitter account by entering your name, email and a unique password

Step 3) Check your email and click the confirm link so Twitter knows you are a real Human Being

Step 4)  Log into your new Twitter account.

Step 5) Skip your profile set up.  We are not going to bother setting up your profile for now – because you may never visit Twitter again unless you find GREAT value quickly so let's get straight to it.  You can always set up your profile; add your location and a profile picture later.  Skip all that for now.

Step 6) Click the Home link on the top of the page to ensure you are on the home page

Step 7) Copy and Paste each on the following Twitter accounts into the search box at the top of the home page and click the search icon

Step 8) A small twitter icon that matches that @ Twitter account name will appear in the upper left under the word People

Step 9) Click the small icon under People and a small screen will pop up with the past few tweets and a Blue “Follow” button. Click it.

Step 10) Once you have “followed” these top maintenance reliability Tweeters (people who post Tweets) – you will have your own personalized “flow” of quick, easy maintenance reliability resources.

You can also download free Twitter apps for your smartphone/iPhone and iPad/Tablet for mobile access.

If you are on a path to learn new things and discover new ideas related to maintenance reliability, I guarantee you have just struck pure gold.

In addition, you Wife/Husband, your Kids and your Co-Workers will all be amazed you have joined the 21^st century and adopted the latest technology!

You never have to post a Tweet of your own and you will quickly discover other Tweeters that you will want to follow.  You can un-follow anyone at anytime by clicking on their icon and then clicking on the Un-Follow button.  They will never even know you stopped following them!
