<p>It's time again for <em>The Social Share</em>, a weekly newsletter designed to help you build your social audience one tweet at a time. Click on any of the images below, if you're interested in tweeting them. Go ahead—these are freebies.</p><p>Don't be scared, my good readers! There are no tricks to be found in this week's newsletter. I didn't even scare up a tutorial for you; it's all treats this week. Do mind the writer of this week's mailbag selection, though, as he seems to be a bit unstable. Let's open the mailbag and meet this madman.</p>

<p>Let's go! I've been reading your newsletter each week and I'm ready to bury my Twitter fears. I've been staring in the mirror for three days reciting acronyms, shouting my goals, and recapping old episodes of "Seinfeld" in as few words as possible. (George fakes being Greek for free spanakopita, Kramer starts a matchmaking biz & sets Jerry up w/ a shouty librarian.) Let's do this! Woo! Just one thing before I go, any last minute words of advice you can share before I transform into a Tweeter?</p>

<p>Alright! I love your frightening intensity. I won't hold you up with my typical pleas of "try to tweet once a day," or "install Buffer," or "retweet your grantees," or "tweeting news articles is valid," or anything else, mostly because I'm afraid of you. I'll just say that I've complied a few notes entitled "Tips for Starting Out on Twitter." Click the blue button to get it.</p>
