Stevie Wonder is coming to Australia… but you can’t afford to go. http://t.co/tGFXsJ11 11 minutes ago via TweetDeck · powered by @socialditto

Why this makes you click

This makes you click for two reasons:

  1. you want to find out how much tickets are,
  2. and why you cannot afford them.

People don’t like to be told they cannot do something without a damn good reason, so it makes them click through to find out why.

Pro Tip: Add some mystery to your tweets and tell people they cannot do something.

The tweet welcomes a new follower by name and then asks a question, related to the person’s field of expertise. This is twofold: it makes the person feel welcome and then shows you know who he is and what he is interested in, while asking for his expertise.

Just SocialI just got an email about joining WBW and I must say you have a great service. It’s difficult to keep up to speed of everything happening in social media without wading through a lot of stuff you just don’t need so having you guys pull the best bits from such a large source of sites and blogs is a godsend! Good work and thank you!

First, a little background. This post was placed on another Facebook page called Who’s Blogging What. This is a great post as it shows a great way to get your own Facebook page listed on another, related page, without being all spammy. A compliment goes a long way. It also mentions another page, which adds credibility.

Sorry buddy, social media may not fit you http://cot.ag/itf3Cs 7 hours ago via CoTweet · powered by @socialditto

Why this makes you click
This is a great conversational tweet. It is written in the first person and seems to be directed at you, persoanlizing it. It also bucks the trend of most tweets about social media that tells you to jump on board the social media bandwagon, giving you an opposed (and thus surprising) point of view.
