J. Jantsch Free Twitter GuideI have been using Twitter for several months now. I continue to find it valuable in building and sustaining relationships with peers, customers, friends and experts in my chosen fields. Here are some of the tools that I have found useful as I incorporate tweeting into my ongoing practices. There are a plethera of tools out there, and more surfacing every day. I am not an expert in twitter, but I am known for adopting new technology so that I can improve my business and enjoy life!
Twellow http://www.twello.com - online directory of all twitter users. It is a good place to manage who you are following and who is following you. It will create a streamlined list with profiles so you can immediately see relevance without hunting or pecking through your follower list. Great search tool for finding the people that you would get value out of following. I also like the "non" mutual feature. I check it once a week: catch up on my new followers and follow back as appropriate.
Hoot Suite www.hootsuite.com- Overall management, I like best being able to rapid fire in a bunch of ideas I have for tweets and schedule them in the future. Also the shorten URL feature is very useful, as well as search. I actually do my tweeting from here...much easier to manage the RT, repiles, DMs, etc.
Tweetdeck http://tweetdeck.com/beta/ - Has lots of features, I like it most for FILTERING my listening through categories. I have all my customers in one category so that I can easily see what they have been upto without the noise of the people twittering all day long.
Virtual Assistant (VA) - a virtual assistant is invaluable in managing the logistics of social media and all sorts of other activities. If you don't have one yet, this is a great time to start. Click here to learn more: http://yourextrahand.com/what-is-a-virtual-assistant/
