I just had a meeting with the team to discuss our internal progress using social media tools and strategies. One of the takeaways was the process of using Twitter.

Speaking from a business standpoint, Twitter is a new tool that is saturating our minds. We have to have an account, we have to follow people and get followers, etc. All of these are pressing on our time allocated for work.

The question becomes: do you fit your routine into Twitter or incorporate Twitter into your existing daily routine? The answer I support is that you should not change the way you live just because there’s a new tool. Instead find a way to introduce Twitter to your common practices.

Here’s a list of ways you can introduce twitter into your life the smoothest way possible:

• When reading your morning news online, have Twitter open to share interesting news items.
• When researching for work-related projects, have your twitter account open to mention interesting articles.
• When reading Twitter feeds, feel free to RT (Re-Tweet) interesting links you come across.

And remember, twitter is a way to share bits of valuable information with people who want to listen. One of the tools that will help you to stay in touch with Twitter community is TweetDeck.
