How To Use Advanced Twitter Tools to Streamline Social Media
As
of August 2010 Twitter had over 105 million users. With over 55 million tweets
sent out a day, how do you distinguish yourself from the overpopulated sea of
useless personal updates, and constant self-promotion to connect with your
target audience? Listen.
What are people talking about, how are they talking about it, and what can you
add to the conversation? Once you have answered these questions, then it is
time to get started. Below are six advanced Twitter tools that will streamline
your social media experience:
Tweetdeck – This tool allows users to
update Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Buzz, Foursqaure and MySpace at
once. Users can also set up columns to monitor tweets from friends, mentions,
lists, check-ins and recommend profiles to follow.
Thummit - This application identifies trending
topics and scans
the Twittersphere for
the most relevant conversations. It looks and acts similarly to the Facebook
“Like” functionality.
Tweetmeme- This
is a service that aggregates all links on Twitter to determine which are most
popular. TweetMeme then sorts the links into Categories, Subcategories and Channels, making it easy for users to
filter and customize the content. Users can then subscribe to each category
through RSS feeds and Twitter accounts.
Wefollow – This tool allows users to affiliate their twitter account with
certain categories such as “#social media marketing” or “#SEO”. The intention
is to find people with like interests and encourage networking and new
connections.
Tweepi – Is a tool that provides stats
on other Tweeps. It writes scripts
that allow users to clean up their Twitter accounts and delete spammers and
unqualified accounts. This application suggests to users how to find and follow
qualified connections, analyze account information, and provides access to
filtering tools that allow you to find other tweeple with common interests
Tweetchat – This
tool uses Hashtags (#) to identify specific
topics and connect you with people talking about similar things in a designated
TweetChat room. The conversation happens in real-time and the room
auto-updates.
