I think for most people the hardest part of writing a professional bio is choosing what to put in and what to leave out. Because after all, a bio is supposed to be short...especially on Twitter! But most of us have done lots of different things in our work careers. How do you decide what to focus on? There's a simple answer: focus on what's going to be most relevant and impressive to your target reader! You see, a bio is not a resume. You don't have to list everything you've ever done. Just focus on the parts that are going to "sell" you to your reader. For example, when I wrote my bio for my site http://www.HowToWriteBio.com, I focused on my technical writing and business coaching background - which is the information that shows that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to writing bios. Because that's what potential clients want to know about me in this context. They don't really care about all the other types of jobs I have held. A bio is a little advertisement for you. So think about who will be reading your bio and what you want them to know about you. Then advertise your best and most relevant features! You make a good point about writing a good Twitter bio.

The silly thing about the regular "twitter.com" site, is that when you're viewing your stream (the timeline of other people's tweets), your #hashtag isn't hyperlinked. Very dumb (however, if you use TweetDeck this is not the case). Your #hashtag will become hyperlinked in http://search.twitter.com Mike,

I hate missing out on jokes, so I signed up. And I'm a better man because of it.
