Are you a Twitter ‘power user?’ Would you like to be? A blogger named “Partho” offers these tricks and tips for taking your experience beyond the typical Twitter usage and making every tweet ‘magic’:
- Socialoomph: This tool offers a host of automation features including scheduling tweets, tracking keywords on Twitter, saving and re-using drafts, URL shortening, and a personal status feed. It automatically follows those who follow you and un-follows those who un-follow you.
- Multiplying followers: You need to propagate your Twitter posts on various social networks to get followers. An aggregation service called “HelloTXtt” allows you to post once through its interface and propagate the message to all other major microblogging networks like Tumblr, Jaiku, Pownce, and a few smaller ones.
- Blogger/Twitter Mashup: There are more people reading blogs than there are using Twitter, so why not use your blog for twittering? A service called “LoudTwitter” allows you to take all your tweets for a day, bundle them up into a blog post, and publish it on your blog.
- Tag your followers into groups: In its current form, Twitter has no filters to draw a line between your close friends and potential clients (or between prospects in different spaces). You can sort out your followers into groups using a simple third-party service know as “Twitter Groups.”
- Build up followers with like interests: The “Twollow.com” service allows you to automatically start following people based on keywords you are interested in.
- Tweet your status: You can turn your tweets into your Facebook status updates; Twitter has a Facebook application that integrates Twitter feeds into your Facebook feeds. Twitter is smart enough to filter out @replies so that personal messages don’t end up on your profile.
- Handy Firefox plug-ins: With “TwitterBar,” you can post tweets about web pages you are currently browsing (including your own). In addition to the web address, you can type in additional text along with the tweet as a note. It gets added as a tiny icon into your Firefox address bar. When clicked on it will send an update containing everything in the address bar.
- Fetching latest updates: Twitter updates are crucial. You can use a simple web application for Twitter updates called “GeoTwitter.” It fetches the latest updates from the public timeline every minute and displays them on an interactive map.
- Make tweets keyword-rich: Start your tweet with a primary keyword to theme each message. Look for a buzzword that would enable you to make the most of timely searches for that issue. Choose the words that will best convey your message.
