[SEE MORE ON MY SOCIAL-MEDIA GUIDE: http://bit.ly/sreesoc]

  • Bit.ly: my favorite URL shortener, thanks to access to metrics; my old review (much improved since then): http://bit.ly/bitlyrevu
  • Twiangulate: find new people to follow by seeing who people you know are following in common
  • TWITTER SEARCH:
  • TWEET MANAGEMENT:
    • HootSuite.com: if you prefer a web-based way to track tweets + allows you to do something really important - post-date your tweets (ie, put ‘em on a timer) + allows you to manage multiple Twitter accounts + previews a short link before you click
    • TweetDeck: a downloadable program that lets you keep track of a range of tweets and arrange them into groups
    • TwitBin.com: a Firefox extension that gives you a sidebar full of live tweets.
    • Flock.com: a version of Firefox that’s optimized for social media - get tweets, Facebook updates, YouTube videos, Flickr photos, etc, instantly, while never leaving Firefox
    • Tweetlater.com: offers variety of tools, including, of course, ability to tweet later, along with auto-follow (be careful how use that feature)
    • TwitterForBusyPeople: lets you see who’s tweeted recently among your followers - or anyone else’s followers.
  • TWITTER BACKGROUNDS:

Random Twitter stuff:

  • DuyLinTu’s tweet: A friend just got paid over $20K to set up someone’s twitter account and “manage it.” Moral? Dumb people make smart people recession-proof.
