Wide Variety Of Twitter Tools

There are so many twitter services available now you can never make up your mind on which one you want to use, some have features that others do not so you tend to use quite a few.

Here are two of my favorite twitter related tools:

With TweetBeep you just sign up for an account and add a keyword that you want to track on twitter, so whenever someone talks about a topic and include the word you are tracking you will be notified about it through e-mail. You receives updates hourly, and only get them if someone mentions your keyword, no spam is sent to you so that is great

If you own a business then TweetBeep can be very useful for you, all you have to do is track your business name and you find out who is talking about your business. Its great because if people find problems with your business you could quickly leap into action to resolve these problems before they escalate any further.

The second twitter tool i like is called: Twitterholic

With Twitterholic you can find out where you stand in twitter in rank. You can see graphs that represent the increase or decrease in your follower count. It shows you where you rank on twitterholic in relation to other users and also tells you where you rank in your current location, for me i rank second in my location.

The best thing is that you do not have to sign up to see these stats so that means less useless e-mails coming to your account. I done a quick search on Twitterholic to see where one of my other sites, TheEntertainmentClam, ranks.  To my amazement i ranked 15th in the whole of Ireland, not bad! I was expecting it to be way lower than that and didnt expect to make it on the top 100 twitterers of Ireland. I even am above sites such as The Irish Times (A Newspaper) and a few of the BBC and RTE twitter accounts, great news for me .

Back To Reality

Tomorrow unfortuantly i have to go back to college , for the past week i have enjoyed not having college, it was my mid-term. And worst of all the first day back tomorrow and i have a bloody exam! Like what a way to greet people back, "hi, enjoy your lazy week off?, i bet you did'nt look at your notes all week, ah sure here is a test for you" Cheers! Now you may be thinking, you had a whole week off why didnt you study, simply put, i couldnt be bothered. Why waste a week off college studying for exams! The exam i have tomorrow is: Internetworking.

Around about the start of January this year i finally started to use twitter, even though i was a member since 2008. And as you can see below from the stats of my account i have begun to follow a lot more people than i normally did and in return a lot more began to follow me. Once people see that you are an active user they dont mind following you, they wouldnt want to follow someone who only updates every few days, i now update everyday at least once or according to the graph below i send 3.2 tweets per day.Twitter also increases the flow of traffic to your blog, its a great way of reaching out to more people. Follow me on twitter if you are not allready!
