We cover a lot of Twitter-related storylines and tips at WebProNews, and they often reflect things that can be applied directly to small businesses. With that in mind, I often find such topics worth noting to our SmallBusinessNewz audience as well.

There were a few Twitter-related articles we ran on WebProNews this week that you, the small business owner, might be able to take something out of. So here they are.

1. An Equation for Getting More Traffic from Twitter

What it boils down to is that you should leave enough space in the 140-character limit of tweets to ensure easy and convenient retweeting for followers. The easier it is for them to retweet, the more likely they are to do it. That means you have a better chance of your tweet (or your content) spreading virally and driving traffic to your site.

2. New Twitter Numbers Show Tweeting Increase

In case you were afraid that Twitter was starting do lose some of its hype and possibly begin to become less of a big deal after some smaller numbers in August, the data in this article shows that tweeting is still on the rise, although new user registrations were slightly down.

3. Twitter Readies Much Needed Lists Feature

Twitter is testing a new feature, which lets users create lists of people they follow and separate them into groups. This can make managing your Twitter account much easier, and make for a more productive experience. The lists are public too, so if other people add you to their lists, you may find yourself getting some extra exposure, which could ultimately equate to more followers and more traffic.
