Getting to my hotel tonight, I checked out TweetDeck to see an endless stream of #CES tweets coming through from people at the event as well as those thinking about it. If you are an active user of Twitter – you will probably be unable to avoid this barrage of 140 character updates for the next few days. To help keep you sane – or give you a guide to tweeting if you happen to be at CES, here is my list of the ten types of tweets you will see people using based on a very careful and scientific observation of Twitter for approximately 17 minutes this evening (equalling approximately 200 tweets).*
#1 – The Bait & Switch
"I spoke with [company name] and saw [product/technology name] (and tweeted about it so now I don't have to write about it)." #noteverythingisnewsworthy
#2 – The Tall Poppy
"I am at [party name]/I met [almost celebrity name] – OMG, aren't you jealous that you aren't me?" #whocaresiftheyrememberme
#3 – The Badge Beggar
"I checked in at [random location or booth], please give me a Foursquare Badge or free stuff." #iseekvalidation
#4 – The Morning Bitch
I can't believe I had to wake up at [ungodly hour] to work/attend [event name]. #needcoffee
#5 – The Promoter
"Please read/retweet my tremendously insightful blog/video/podcast from CES – [link goes here]" #ces
#6 – The Tablet/3DTV Bandwagon
"I reviewed/saw/smelled/sat next to the latest tablet/3DTV from [manufacturer] and it is life altering." #spreadthehype
#7 – The Booth Pimp
"Come to our booth and see our game changing/revolutionary/disease curing technology." #itweetformoney
#8 – The Apple Evangelizer
"Who cares about CES? Apple will tell us what to love in a few weeks at Macworld." #jobsismymessiah
#9 – The Evening Bitch
"I can't believe I worked [ungodly number of hours] today. I'm going to bed." #hopemybossreadsthis
#10 – The Porn Mention
"I saw a porn star's boobs/cleavage/short skirt. Isn't it clever they have their show at the same time as CES in Vegas?" #whathappensinvegas
If you're here or paying attention, which great tweet categories did I miss? Just a fair warning … I will do my best to have at least one tweet from each of these categories over the rest of the week. [Kidding!]
*Note – Sadly, this post is only partially a joke (if you follow the #CES hashtag any day this week, you'll see what I mean)
BTW – Please retweet this. Only 9 more types to go!
HEY!
You just took half of my clever ideas and gave them to the rest of the world!!!

From this moment on I will be very careful of how I tweet and what I will tweet because I don’t want to be in a list similar to this one. This list will be a big help to people who often use Twitter as this will guide them on what to tweet.
