“WHAT IS A BIRDY BRAG?”YOU MAY ASK.

NOW, THIS IS SOMETHING FINE TO DO ONCE EVERY 30-40 TWEETS.

BUT, THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE BEING BAD PARTY GUESTS.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU TELL A GREAT JOKE:
LIKE DIGIORNO DID WHEN THEY SPENT AN EVENING LIVE-TWEETING
THE SOUND OF MUSIC.

GARYVAYNERCHUK.COMGARYVAYNERCHUK
DON’T SPEND THE REST OF THE PARTY TELLING PEOPLE HOW FUNNY EVERYBODY THOUGHT IT WAS.
38 LIVE TWEETS 7 ABOUT HOW FUNNY IT WAS 3 JUST TO SAY WHERE @DIGIORNOPIZZA WAS TRENDING.

GARYVAYNERCHUK.COMGARYVAYNERCHUK
NOTHING ENTITLES YOU TO SPEND HALF OF THE TIME QUOTING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAID ABOUT THEM!
21 TWEETS(DEC. 3-9)
9 ABOUT HOW DELICIOUS @WAFFLEHOUSE IS.

GARYVAYNERCHUK.COMGARYVAYNERCHUK
QUOTING 19 RETWEETS ISN’T GOING TO MAKE THEM ANY WARMER.
23 TWEETS(NOV. 25-29)
19 THAT COULD MAKE THE @SMARTWOOL BRAND FEEL COLDER.
