Tweeple's Yellow Pages

Yellow Pages for Twitter Accounts. Yes, you read correctly. And it is aptly called twellow (www.twellow.com) .

Go ahead and search for tweeples of similar interest, register your twitter account and details of services provided by you.

If you need information of those already listed, you don't need to register yourself. Registering yourself is only needed if you want to be listed in the directory.

The registering process is very simple. Just click on Register for Free Tab on the screen, provide your username and password (same as you use in your twitter account), email id and then click register.

Edit information about you already imported from Twitter and you are listed.

I love tweeting from my Browser

How many times while browsing a topic I have felt that I should tweet it and then copied it and pasted into my twitter page in a new window.

Now there is an application which simplifies this cumbersome process.

Simply called TweetThisText, it sits on your Bookmark Bar in your browser. See something worth tweeting about. Highlight the text in you browser, click on TweetThisText and it is done.

The only precursor to use of TweetThisText is that one should be logged into his / her twitter account beforehand.

So Want to get started.

Create this snazzy bookmark by dragging this TweetThisText to your bookmark bar.

See text online you'd like to quote, highlight it, and click your TweetThisText button.

Cool. Isn't it !

Cheers,

Tweetlater - An application to boost your productivity

I was exploring alternatives to Twaitter for spacing out my tweets over the day and was directed to TweetLater .

I really found it to be an interesting Application, which has both free and paid versions.

Free version allows you to

1. Manage Multiple twitter accounts
2. Schedule your tweets for paced out tweeting (limits it to 12 tweets per hour).
3. Delegate your twitter account management to another person.
4. Check and edit the scheduled tweets.
5. Automated direct messaging facility for posting DMs to new followers.
6. Check out your automation stats.
7. Follow your followers on auto mode.
8. Create a feed of all your tweets posted through Tweetlater.

The professional version goes a notch further and will appeal to those seeking productivity tools like :

1. Posting from one account and retweeting from another.
2. Tracking tweets about their brands and responding to inputs.
3. Scheduling tweets and retweets.
4. Finding like minded individuals based on their tweets.
5. A cockpit facility to manage all this from one tool.
6. Burn your tweets into a RSS Feed.

Want to know about features of a paid account. Go ahead and read http://www.tweetlater.com/users/freetrial .

From my perspective the free version offers enough for individuals and small businesses.

But those who want to play hard to build their following exponentially and gain mind share may go ahead and purchase the professional version.

So what are you waiting for. Go ahead and TweetLater .

Slow and Steady Win the Race

How many times have you seen someone taking a fancy to a new thing, going headlong into it and then losing sense of the plot and with it their enthusiasm. Twitter abounds with these one day phenonmenon. However they do not gain anything from it other than contributing to Twitter's exploding growth and also its high attrition rates :).

Don't allow yourself to be a one day twitter phenomenon. Keep your followers engaged on regular intervals by posting relevant content. Mark my words - regular intervals and relevant contents.

There are many applications which allow scheduled tweets. One simple application for novices to start with is http://www.twaitter.com/ . Very easy to use, one needs to log into it with his / her twitter id and password and then schedule their tweets for delayed tweeting.


Keep tweeting.

Cheers,

Ashish
