Top Twitter Tools & Apps – September 2009
TweetHere’s my selection of top Twitter tools for September 2009; in no particular order:
1) CoTweet: A fantastic service for managing multiple Twitter accounts, ‘CoTweet is a platform that helps companies reach and engage customers using Twitter’ and also lets you monitor trends for each account
2) UberTwitter: the must have app for your Blackberry, UberTwitter easily lets you favourite tweets, check your @replies and DMs as you would on a desktop
3) Topsy: Topsy is a ‘search engine powered by Tweets’ and a fantastic monitoring tool to find out who’s Tweeting what (most Tweeted links) about your brand
4) Twitter Search Results on Google (hat tip to the lovely @msamayoa): Ever fancied adding Twitter search onto your Google search results? You can now do that by downloading Firefox add-on Greasemonkey combined with the Twitter Search Results userscript – see screenshot below.

I have to admit that I haven’t been Tweeting and blogging as much as I used to, and have become much more of a passive observer in the last few months. I was pleasantly surprised when I spotted the ‘new look’ (I am not entirely sure when Twitter rolled this out) multimedia rich trending topics…

As a consumer, I recommend and even occasionally express my discontent about brands via Twitter or my blog. As a social media pro, I spend most of my days managing online presences for other brands, engaging with both fans and detractors. And the other day, for the first in absolutely ages, a brand engaged with…

TV is becoming increasingly social. As Neil points out, Twitter went into complete overdrive over the X-Factor last Sunday following Lucie Jones’ shock eviction, with 8 out of the top 10 Twitter trending topics being X-Factor related*. I got rid of my TV when I moved in my flat last year; my flat is on…
Adventures in Twitterland… (bring back the link love)
about 2 years ago - 2 comments
Funny things often happen in Twitterland… Today’s randomness definitely got me LOLing away behind my screen… Back in the old days, bloggers used to link back to one another other as a sign of appreciation, and an effective way of sharing content. Linking back also helped increase our Page Rank and Technorati authority; we (bloggers)…

I've just started playing with http://twitteranalyzer.com/ (hat tip to @DarenBBC). Not had much chance to fully explore it yet but I am really liking the 'reach' measurement: it tells you how many RT's you got and works out how many unique users would have potentially been exposed to the message. Looking like a really promising tool for measuring ROI.

The reach aspect definitely sounds interesting – thanks for the heads up!

I use TweetLister, a great Twitter tool that automatically shortens your real estate listings into 140 char. tweets. You can even schedule them to run whenever you want. Pretty cool!
