How To Use Twitter Tip #4 – Using Twitter Tools
Author: Devon BrownThe Twitter web interface is being updated all the time, but once you get over 2,000 followers, the web interface will be a little overwhelming. So now is the time to take advantage of many Twitter tools that will make the job of "managing" your twitter account much easier.
Tweetdeck.com is fairly popular. It allows you to line up your Twitter feed through columns. You can have a "search" function column for your name, business, or keyword you choose. You can set up a column for Tweeters you enjoy reading (called Groups) and there’s a column for Mentions. A Mention is when someone has used the @ reply with your username. This column is the handiest because it tells you who sends you a message or if others are having a conversation about you.
This tool also incorporates a Shorten URL and integrates with Facebook (a great addition to your marketing) There are many Twitter Managers out there, and you can of course outsource the managing of your account, but I recommend and use TweetDeck.
Tweepular.com is probably the friendliest webpage to see who is following you, who you're not following, and who you're following but they're not following you. One of the best ideas is for you to "unfollow" those who are not following you back (use this wisely and even then don’t do it everyday!). Tweepular is a great tool for being able follow (or unfollow) large groups of people with just one click (as opposed to doing it manually)
Twitpic.com is a service to upload your images and Tweet them. They hold your images under your username so it turns into a photobook basically. Adding pictures to your tweets is a great way to help build a good relationship with your followers. And Tweetpic is definitely the service to use if you want to make that happen!
TwitterHolic.com - You can check on your Twitter statistics through here. Statistics such as
- how many tweets you've done per day
- how fast your list of followers is growing
- how you rank in your local area
- how you rank with regard to number of followers
- and several more
Twittercounter.com is also another tool you can use to check on your Twitter statistics.
There are a lot of tools out there for your Twitter account. I highly suggest using them to track your success on Twitter, see trends, and also develop new connections in Twitter. The Twitter tools will help organize you so it won’t seem as overwhelming!
