This week I am going to pick up right where we have left off last time. I explained how to keep some good manners on Twitter and how to hopefully get followers that are interested in what you have to tweet. Now I am going to give you tools that will make this process significantly easier for you:
TwitPic
While text is great, sometimes images speak a thousand words; why limit your tweets to only text format when there is this great extension that lets you include image in your post. Just sign up for an account and get visual.
Seesmic
Sesmic Moto: “All Social Services in one Place” – describes it pretty well. You can manage a few twitter accounts at the same time, you can post updates from one or few of them, it gives you twitter trends and many other useful tools you can pick and choose from. In addition you can add other social accounts you have: Facebook, LinkdIn.
TwitLonger
Twitter limits you to 140 characters per Twitt…I don’t know about you but I have a little more to say time to time and it would really harm the flaw of my though if it doesn’t fit. For cases like that there is TwitLonger which lets users put more text in their twits providing opportunity to expand text for readers.
Bitly
For the same sake of space limitation really long URLs do not fly too well. You probably want to be able to say something good about the link you are sharing and not just throw it out there unexplained – use bitly. This service shortens links significantly giving you space for thought.
Visit Bitly and start tracking your shortened urls.
MentionMap
Want to know who are your dedicated followers? Which content got the best resonance? What themes generate discussions? Then use this service and it will give you great visual map of connections, retwitts and mentions.
TwittLater
Even though some of us are close to being connected to the web 24/7, none has time to send updates continuously; sometimes we just have to break for sleep and food consumption if nothing else. Can’t leave your fans hanging even for such short periods of time? Use TwittLater and schedule twits to go out even when you are doing something else.
Twitter got so popular and to some people necessary that chances are if you need something that you cannot do with regular Twitter account there is a tool that helps you do it, so if I have not covered something here feel free to find your own tools online test them and get back to us in comment section. It will serve purpose of not only helping you but also sharing with other readers and maybe helping them as well.
