Here is my (growing) list of Twitter tools, straight up:
- SocialToo!: Auto follows and messages, predetermined tweet times and daily reports of followers/unfollowers; other social media apps too
- Twannabe: Allows you to drill into targeted Twitterers, and view/follow who they are following
- TwitterCounter: Displays the top 100, and provides stats/predictions on your own account
- Mr. Tweet: A Twitter account you follow, that recommends followers for you
- Twilert: Searches and updates tweets for keywords (your brand for example)
- Tweetstats: Makes your Twitter use visible through graphs
- HootSuite: Allows you to manage multiple Twitter accounts in one app, schedule tweets, etc…
- Tweetdeck: Live account updates, multiple columns; simply the best Twitter interface tool
A Few Tips
I have tried all these tools and use some of them frequently. Give them a test drive and see what works well for you. But if nothing else, keep these ideas in mind:
- Keep it Real: Coming across as fake or automated is a turn off. The only automated function I use is to autofollow.
- Follow Back: Follow those who follow you. You can always unfollow later…
- Share Others: Don’t just tweet about your most recent blog update, share info/links, and RT (retweet) other people’s info/tweets
Have a Twitter tool that you use that’s not on my list? Please drop a comment and list it…
