Here is a nice Slideshare on how to build a great Twitter Strategy by Diane Danielson.
Twitter is a powerful platform for increasing exposure for your brand and broadcasting your message to a growing targeted audience.
The best way to get a bigger following on Twitter is to tweet regularly and post informative, valuable tweets that people want to read.
1) Create an Attractive Twitter Profile :
Twitter is meant to be a tool to connect to people with the same interests as you. Fill out your bio. Your bio is the only place you have to tell people who you are. A good bio will give other users the context to keep in touch with you.
2) Retweeting:
Retweeting is another way to increase followers. Re-tweeting is a popular way to share a useful or interesting tweet. Re tweeting pushes your @username into foreign social graphs, resulting in clicks back to your profile
3) Twitter Lists:
Twitter List is a list of people on Twitter that are brought together under one profile so that all of the aggregated tweets can be seen in one place. By getting added to a Twitter List, your exposure, traffic, and followers on Twitter will be increased dramatically – especially as the popularity of that Twitter List that you’re part of grows.
4) Encouraging Conversation and Offering Value:
The best way to grow your number of followers on Twitter is to engage yourself as much as possible. Make sure to reply to Tweets from other accounts, and communicate with other users through the Direct Messages feature. Make tweets that encourage conversation: ask compelling questions, ask for opinions, and discuss controversial and interesting topics with other users.
Offering value is the easiest way to make people remember you. For Ex. Start a contest that offers a prize for following your account.
5) Maximize Visibility through Social Media Profiles :
Place links to your Twitter profile everywhere. Link it on Social Networking sites, blogs, email signature, and everywhere else you are online. People will follow you because they want to know you more and this can be a way to generate leads.
6) Tweet your Pictures/Videos:
Upload Videos and Photos to Twitter. Pictures and Videos are heavily retweeted.There are an array of Twitter mobile apps and Tvider is one such Twitter app which gives you the ability to tweet multimedia, on spur of the moment using mobile or computer.
7) Twitter Directories:
Add yourself to twitter directories as you will get constant followers .Add yourself in proper category, because this way you will get targeted followers.
Twitter is a great resource for web site traffic and to keep you informed about the world around you.

Having opened my timeline this morning in the application, I saw many people already using it. But then I realized it wasn’t showing me all their tweets. It was only showing me their tweets created by Tvider, which was allowing to me to view, listen to whatever media it was they had posted all from within the app. It’s quite a nicely laid out, fast app for getting your media out there from your device.”
Last week Twitter began to slowly roll out a new feature called Local Trends to expose what people are talking about on the state and city level, and now they have fully launched so everyone can use it.
Once you set your location, Local Trends allows you to see what conversational trends are popular nearby. Changing your location immediately updates the list of trending topics in the right-hand sidebar of your Twitter.com home display.
Twitter currently has a limited number of options to choose from in terms of location but they are working on adding more. It has been mentioned in the Twitter blog that they will be improving this feature over time to provide more locations, languages, and data through their API.
Local Trends will allow you to learn more about the nuances in our world and discover even more relevant topics that might matter to you.
