The following is a list of tools that will provide the user with everything they need to turn the social networking site Twitter into a funnel of traffic for their site. http://tweetmeme.com/ - which lists popular Tweets as well as offering a retweet button for your site pages. http://www.monitter.com/ - this is a tool that lets you see tweets from up to 3 different subjects as they happen. This is particularly useful for when major news events occur. http://twitturly.com/ - tracks and ranks the top URLs that people are talking about on Twitter. A great way of tracking not just your posts, but who else is talking about your site. http://www.tweetlater.com " allows you to set up tweets to be posted later that day or week. This has advantages and disadvantages, for example many people get irate if they think that you aren't sending tweets live. If they read a tweet minutes after you publish it, then want to contact you or strike up a conversation and you aren't there to talk then they may well unfollow you. Personally I think for the convenience of spreading your tweets out rather than sending several close together then it is worth the potential downside risks. http://klout.net/ - allows you to measure your influence as it grows within Twitter. http://twittercounter.com/ - shows records and stats of your growing following http://tweetdeck.com/beta/ - Is my favourite tool for keeping up with twitter in real time. http://www.twibes.com/twitter-groups - a brilliant tool for finding newsgroups (tribes " twibes) to join and to find new people to follow. http://www.twitterbackgrounds.com/ - Customise your page with a free background. http://www.orangatame.com/products/twitterberry/ - this tool is an app for a Blackberry that allows you to tweet from your phone, like Stephen Fry recently did when he was stuck in a lift. It has been a Twitter protocol to follow anyone who follows you, but it isn't by any means necessary. It is up to you to run your page as you see fit. I suggest going for quality over quantity so that your followers will then actually be interested in and subsequently read your entries. The most important thing is to keep tweeting on a regular basis as this will build your profile and get more people following you.
