Can you use Twitter to say "thank you"?

This week, I read a great article by Career Rocketeer about how to use Twitter more effectively to express your gratitude to those who re-tweet you Tweets. Here are three things I learned form the article:

 

1.     Do not just thank the person for re-tweeting your message.  Use this as an opportunity to either engage them in a dialogue about a topic, or use this as an opportunity to get to know them better so that you can engage with them in the future. Try to use their first name so you can create an emotional connection with them.

2.     Add them to one of your customer lists. This is another way to thank an individual for their efforts.

3.     Re-Tweet instead of jus saying thank you. A nice way to show appreciation to someone is to re-tweet something they have written on their blog, or something they have recently tweeted about.
