Cupertino, CA (PRWEB) December 16, 2008

A new book released by publisher Happy About is a “how to use Twitter” guide for businesses. “Twitter Means Business: How Microblogging can Help or Hurt your Company” taps the wisdom of Twitter expert and leading technology journalist Julio Ojeda-Zapata (@jojeda on Twitter).

See how Twitter — the fastest-growing social network, according to Nielsen Online — is used by corporations like Comcast, Dell and JetBlue. This book profiles dozens of businesses of all sizes on Twitter. These are tracking what is said about their brands in the “twitterverse,” and are interacting with customers in Twitter’s conversational style.

Find out how businesses are using Twitter in innovative ways — such as responding to complaints, nurturing online relationships, posting hot deals and recruiting evangelists — with “tweets” that are just 140 characters or less.

Twitter has become a place to burnish a corporation’s reputation, drum up new business, get ideas from customers and find those who wield influence online. “Twitter Means Business” documents these trends, and more.

Public-relations agencies are also on Twitter, showing their business clients how to use the service. “Twitter Means Business” devotes a chapter to such P.R. agencies, ranging from giants to tiny P.R. shops.

Learn how businesses that don’t understand the Twitter culture can be blindsided. “Twitter Means Business” shows how ignoring Twitter can hurt a company. “Twitter means Business” has tips, tricks and tools so businesses will understand Twitter and use it effectively. The book examines rival microblogging services used by companies, too.

What do Twitter veterans think about this? One “Twitter Means Business” chapter consists entirely of tweets by experienced Twitter users who give their thoughts on the service’s business uses. Julio writes about his own experiences using Twitter at the St. Paul Pioneer Press, and shows how the newspaper is another useful case study for businesses needing to grasp and exploit Twitter.

Julio also identifies Twitter thought leaders, like social-media authorities Laura Fitton of Pistachio Consulting (@pistachio) and Chris Brogan of chrisbrogan.com (@chrisbrogan). These have praised “Twitter Means Business.”

Brogan says, “Julio’s book on Twitter is the first business-minded book about the topic that I feel comfortable recommending to companies wondering why they should consider the tool for their organization. I’ve found a resource that I will share effusively.” “Twitter Means Business” is a unique blend of professional reportage and social-media insight. It is the one book to buy for anyone needing to master Twitter.

There’s just one that I’ve found on ebay but I want to find it somewhere else to avoid a pricey bidding war…does it come if you buy the hard-copy album or what?

Answer by Sol B
Unfortunately eBay is the only place you will find it. There is a small chance they will have it at their merch table at a show but they only had it as a limited time thing when Nothing Personal came out.

Tweet Ranger – Twitter Following Tool

Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) May 20, 2010

“First In Search” a Phoenix based SEO company has just released a new Twitter application that automates the process of following and unfollowing. Tweet Ranger a new desktop Twitter application makes following and unfollowing in larger numbers possible without the use of a special API key.

No longer are the API restrictions imposed by Twitter going to prevent individuals from managing their Twitter followers in an automated way. With the release of Tweet Ranger, it is now possible to set a schedule of regular following and unfollowing work without having to do it manually.

Other features include cloning the followers of other Twitter accounts and putting them into a list to follow in the future, and setting a time limit in days before other Twitter users are unfollowed if they have failed to follow you back. There is also a built in Tweet scheduler.

Tweet Ranger utilizes an innovative technology that prevents the Twitter servers from recognizing that the following and unfollowing activity is being performed by the software. Instead it appears to be natural. This will allow individuals to build a large Twitter following faster without having to allocate as many man-hours to the task.

About First In Search:

A highly rated SEO and software development company that is part of the Schwab Organization; a family of companies.

Question by Russell Scott: What really is “Twitter” and “Face Book”? How does it work?
And why do we need it? What does it suppose to do? My son tries to explain it and I get so confused…….maybe my age or not enthusiastic really?? lol….I don’t know. Can you help me please? lol lol

Best answer:

Answer by Garrett
Twitter- Way too confusing for me to even understand.

Facebook- is a free-access social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. Users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people. People can also add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. The website’s name refers to the paper facebooks depicting members of a campus community that some US colleges and preparatory schools give to incoming students, faculty, and staff as a way to get to know other people on campus.

TwitLi.st User Recommended Twitter Lists

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 5, 2010

TwitLi.st, a brand new Twitter-app site (not affiliated with Twitter), is launching today and aims to gather the best of Twitter Lists from Twitter. Their website, http://TwitLi.st, focuses on user recommended Twitter lists where any Twitter user can recommend their favorite Twitter lists.

Twitter lists are lists that Twitter users can create themselves by adding other Twitter users of their interest. For example, a Twitter user could make a list called “TV shows” where she can follow all of her favorite TV shows that have Twitter accounts. This new feature, Twitter Lists, was introduced by Twitter in October 2009.

TwitLi.st, aims to change how Twitters use Twitter by building a list of the most “recommended” Twitter lists and building a list search engine for every Twitter user.

In layman’s terms, TwitLi.st aims to become the “list” of Twitter lists where people can easily find other Twitter users of their interest through recommendations.

TwitLi.st’s effort for community recommendation search engine will eventually allow new Twitter users to have a ton of great recommended Twitter users to follow. In the near future, when TwiLi.st gathers enough recommendations, TwitLi.st team will introduce the “List Search Engine” where Twitter users would be able to search for the most recommended people in their field of interest and with ease.

Currently, Twitter itself provides recommendations for new users but these are not based on people’s votes. By providing users to recommend their favorite Twitter lists for others, the co-founders Max Lee and Josh Whitford believe this will make Twitter more usable and easier to grasp for those new to Twitter and seasoned veterans who are searching for better Twitter tools for finding new information and people. Plus, the democratic nature of the site will appeal to more people who are not yet familiar with Twitter and are willing to listen to community recommendations.

On top of user recommended Twitter Lists, TwitLi.st builds on “master lists” that are built by the recommended lists. These “master lists” will ultimately list the most recommended(listed) Twitter users first, thereby allowing Twitter users to easily identify the best people to follow on Twitter or so-called “experts” in that category.

For Twitter users who are interested in recommending Twitter lists to others or want to find out what all the fuss is all about, you can head over to TwitLi.st to recommend your favorite Twitter List.
