What are Twitter Tools and How to Use Them.




Twitter tools simply are features in your Twitter which makes it easier to use. You would want to make use of Twitter to increase your inflow of business traffic, right? Then look no further.

Twitter tools are designed to help you get maximum use of your resource, attract the largest possible number of customers. And, what is best, it is no one-size-fits-all – depending on your own preferences, you could choose from a wide range of services. Try them out, one at a time, or maybe even all of them, and decide for yourself which Twitter tool suits you the best.

LoudTwitter.com
Very simple tool, and very useful. Simply put in your blog address on the homepage of the website, and get the list of all tweets you have made, listed for you in one single page, and sent to your blog. Can you even think of anything more efficient or time saving? Just keep tweeting!

TwitterFeed.com
This is quite simple as well, and similar to LoudTwitter, but basically does the opposite thing. This one sends your blog posts over to your twitter account – however, without any prompting on your part. TwitterFeed collects by itself all the info it needs! You don’t have to get into Tweeter to tweet!

However, do remember that Tweeter should not be used merely as a remote blog post announcer. Your basic task should be to reach out to as many as possible, tell people what your goals are and about YOUR OWN particular interests. This means apart from Tweeter, you have to go on tweeting about other subjects.

TweetScan.com
Having a problem with the Tweeter search engine? Or do you even feel like trying out something different, just for fun? Try this out.

Remember, TweetScan allows you to search for the word put in NOT in the profiles of other people, but IN OTHER TWEETS. So, that way, you gain. TweetScan is in actuality only searching for Tweeter updates. That way, you find out and contact other people who share similar interests as you do. All you have to do is come up with a suitable list of “keywords” for your blog/website. For example, it might be the name of the product, or product type, or whatever that you are selling.

Type in each of them into the TweetScan search box, and get a whole host of people who are doing similarly. You can follow someone, and yet, at the same time, you can be sure someone else is following you, because of the same business interests. Think about it, there can be no better market research tool!

SocialOomph.com (formerly known as TweetLater.com)
This one ensures that even if you are offline, your tweeting account would not go idle. If you belong to those of us who believe in constant presence in the Cyberworld, this is the thing for you. SocialOomph allows you to schedule tweets for future use – that is, sending out tweets even when you aren’t there. For example, if you have to take a flight to, say Australia. This would mean staying offline for more than 10 hours, at the very least. You can program SocialOomph to come up with messages like “I’m on air”, or “The skies up here look so different” and so on. All you have to do is input these messages before you leave – the rest is taken care of.

Or you can even use SocialOomph as a reminder system – reminding you about somebody’s birthday that you might have (disaster!!) forgotten, or a thing that you were supposed to buy. You can arrange for a tweet every five minutes – that is, 12 tweets every hour.
