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 II
Ten days into my experiment. I now have 270 followers and I am following 650 tweeters. It has been interesting and I have learned a great deal. Conclusions: 1. I am a fairly private person, and I definitely see that there is a big generational difference for what people of different ages think is “public” and what is “private”. 2. Figuring out how Twitter works is VERY time consuming. I would guest that I have spent atleast 30 hours over the last ten days looking at different tools, reviewing how others use Twitter, figuring out what I wanted to Twitter about, etc. 3. Following other Tweets has been at times extremely boring, sometimes funny, and occasionally very educational. (more on this later) Learning: 1. No one reads all the Tweets they receive (assuming they are following more than 25 active Tweeters). There is simply to much information flowing. Instead, I occasionally scan the tweets I have received and look for the few that are interesting. Those usually are leading me to other sites of interest. This has been the most beneficial part of following, I have found some great sources of information. 2. The Twitter interface is very weak compared to all the third party tools available. I have settled on a variety of different tools which I will discuss later. What is important to learn is that the Twitter interface is not the one most people use, and for good reason. 3. Twitter has lead me to other sites, tools, and interfaces that are much broader then Twitter.
