Twitter Tools — My Complete List
Twitter is a status-updating or microblogging social networking website. It is a breakthrough in social networking because it takes communication into another level. Before, a person can only update his status (eg. what he’s doing, where he is) at a certain time. But with Twitter and it’s mobile integration, he can update his status almost all throughout the day and get in touch with people that matters to him the most. But the functions of Twitter do not stop there. It is now used by various fields. Business, for example, has used Twitter to get in touch with customers on a personal level. It is also a nice place to meet people from different parts of the world that shares the same interests. Furthermore, its possibilities to promote new technology, news and products can’t be denied.

Twitter Over Tworty — Part I
Twitter, tweet, twhirl, twintern, twitterati, tweetlater…I can’t keep up. I started to actively twitter last week. As a 44 year old, who describes himself as a technological enthusiast, but not an expert, or even an power user, its all been tweek (greek–get it?) to me. Why do I care that someone left their groceries in their car over night, or that some else like telling me obscure quotes, or that someone else is still in love with their husband, or some mother is leading a busy, harried life? The truth is I don’t. I am only following 34 people and have all of 37 following me. I spend most of my time helping companies, many of them online publishers, monetize their digital traffic. One would think that I would understand this stuff. I am still figuring it out. I thought it would be interesting to have a series within my blog about what all these technologies/tools are and how businesses are successes deploying them. I am going to write aobut my experiences on Twitter, if and how I find it useful for my work, and what tools and resources are needed to leverage it to success.
