Cool Apps For Twitter You Might Miss

To contintue where I left off with my first post, Are You Using Twitter, I have found some more information that you just might find interesting and fun! You know, at first when I started on Twitter I had the hardest time figuring it out. It was like a program already in play and you join but can’t play without reading the instructions! I am the kind of person that likes to figure things out instead of building or playing anything. (I must get that from my Dad).

I am following alot of people and they in turn are following me.  What is following? Well, anytime I type in something I want everyone to know, if you are following me, you will find out about it too.  It can be a great tool for finding subjects to blog about or learning things now instead of reading it in the paper or hearing about it on the news. Depending on who you are following, what you like.

For instance, I like the site Woot.  It releases a new product at midnight, every day, that is on sale for a good price!  We have bought a lot of merchandise from Woot.

There are so much more things like Nasa, Starbucks, NCO (Military tweets), etc… You can check out who I am following by clicking on their icon in the right hand column.

I also follow the company that helped me with my site you are on, Real Estate Tomato.

So, here are the two new applications that I have found to be cool in my venture to learn more about making my twitter tweet a better tune!

• CNET did an article on this tool and said that it is a long user list of twitter accounts. Broken down into categories, it will be easier to find people you want to follow.  You can also add yourself to a pack or edit. They suggest that this is the way signing up to follow twitter users should be: Find a flock and sign up to follow all the cool people in it. Otherwise, you will be following a piece of a general conversation. The directory is still being modified. So check it out and add your category!

• Mr. Tweet will review your network, the people you are following, and suggest others that you would like.  Alot of people find others that they didn’t know was on Twitter.  Mr. Tweet is more like a personal twitter assistant: Suggestioning which influencers and followers you should check out.  Once you click to follow Mr. Tweet, they will send you a DM (Don’t know what it stands for) with your report.

As always, I try to bring new and creative ideas that I have found or come up with.  I am sure more will come from the different apps I find that help make Twitter a little more tweet friendly!
