Your Twitter Karma

By Atheer Fendi

Your Twitter Karma at http://dossy.org/twitter/karma/ is a really useful site for
having a look at your followers and who you are following. It’s great for
managing your account from a followers/following perspective.

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to load a fair few times and can be unreliable,
but when it is working it’s great. It shows you all you all the people you are
following and all those that are following you. Underneath each avatar it tells
you if you are following them and if they are following you. You can also sort
by people that you are following who aren’t following you back. This is great
for management as you can decide whether or not to un-follow them.
By checking the boxes, you can actually do a bulk un-follow of a heap of
people at once as opposed to going to every individual Twitter account and
clicking on “un-follow”.

You can also list those that might only be following you and decide if you want
to follow them back. Again, this can be done in a bulk manner.

Friendfeed – Twitter Tool

By Atheer Fendi

Friendfeed at http://www.friendfeed.com is an automating tool you can use in
conjunction with Twitter. Friendfeed is a bit of a hub if you like where you can
set up links to all your other accounts. Friendfeed collects information from
those accounts and publishes it in your Friendfeed feed.

Although Friendfeed is a topic almost in itself, I mention it here particularly
because of it’s ability to link your Twitter and Facebook accounts among
others. If you have a Facebook account and you link it and your Twitter
accounts in Friendfeed, then what will happen is that all your posts in Twitter
will be posted on your wall at Facebook. It means you are running two social
media accounts via one and saves you time.

SplitTweet

By Atheer Fendi

SplitTweet at http://splitweet.com is a great tool if you have a number of
accounts on Twitter. Rather than switching between them from time to time in
order to Tweet, you can set an account up her for free and bring all of your
accounts under the one roof.

Splitweet will display the Twitter feed from all your accounts at once, or you
can turn individual accounts off and on. When actually tweeting, you can pick
an account to tweet to, or you can do a broadcast message across all your
accounts at once.

Some very flash technology this and very useful for handling multiple
accounts.

SocialOomph – A Twitter Tool

By Atheer Fendi

SocialOomph at http://www.socialoomph.com is a fantastic tool to use with Twitter. It
allows you to schedule tweets for various times of the day. So how can this be of use to you?

Well you need to remember that the Twitter audience is constantly changing
and the tweetstream occurs quite fast. The more people someone follows, the
greater the number of tweets appearing and they won’t read them all, I
promise you. It just isn’t possible. By using SocialOomph, you have a much
greater chance of catching people’s attention throughout the day and in
different time zones.

Let’s say you have written a post on your blog and you want to drive some
traffic there. Rather than tweeting the link and subject once, you can do it
every hour for 24 hours if you like using SocialOomph. I’m sure you can see the
power of this in terms of driving traffic or getting noticed.

There is a free and a professional version of SocialOomph. Start out with the free
version and then if you need it, upgrade to the professional version when you
are ready.
