For those of you just wading into the shallow end of the twitter swimming pool, learning how to tweet is sometimes a difficult job.

Here are 5 parallels to food on the subject (all 140 characters or less)

1. Like meals, find a way to tweet 3 times a day. Don't leave your followers hungry.
2. Late night tweets are like a midnight snack. Only the overindulge-rs will be with you.
3. Eating pancakes every meal gets old. So do multiple tweets on the exact same topic.
4. Chew your own food. Tweet your own thoughts. The alternative is nauseating.
5. It's ok to tweet about food... if done in moderation.
