Key Takeaways:

The best way to learn is to “just do!” Create an account and start tweeting.
Complete your profile (this includes: Bio, Avatar, Background Image, Website Link, and your Location).
“Tweet interesting things” via @dharmesh
Start following and engaging with interesting people.
Don’t auto-follow and/or SPAM; nobody likes robot behavior.
Make your tweets easily retweetable (allow character space for people to retweet you).
Measure your success using tools like: su.pr, bit.ly, etc.

What other advice can you offer to Tweet like a Ninja?
