With the surgence of Tweeting going on, Techcrunch offer a great post on some tools to use. I’ve been using Tweetdeck recently having found Twirl impractical. Tweetdeck is very smart and the panel interface works wonders for those who like to follow replies to Tweets as well as scan for mentions on various topics.
I want to claim Twitter back from Stephen Fry! Who nominated him as the poster boy for all things Twitter? He was in Blackadder as well you know!
Lots of info about Twitter filtering through. Here’s the first part of an interview with co founder Jack Doresy

There’s an excellent article about social media marketing here written by young Tibi Puiu which outlines all of the basics in regard to this new online phenomenon.
My first experience of the Web 2.0 version of it was I came across Del.ici.ous during its infancy in 200. To be honest, I didn’t know what to make of it. I was then getting to grips with SEO and did not know where this website could fit in to my tasks. It certainly couldn’t improve my SEO directly and I was left stumped on who precisely would want to occupy their time on this site. It was until the phrase: social media marketing was first coined to me in an article in 2007 when I realised its significance as a powerful tool to draw in traffic. I immediately sort out MySpace and then Facebook. Signing on these services was easy enough but the main process of setting up a profile and then contacting people was where the attraction was.
All of a sudden, I was contacting friends about what I’m up to and joining groups and discussions about my favourite bands. My personal MySpace profile became my place to express my devotion to my football team. That then branched off into a full blown blog which I now actively write news and optimise today.
Nowadays, there are approximately over 200 different SMO applications available online ! That’s a staggering amount of personal comments, blogs, news, reviews and everything. The term Social in Social Media certainly lives up to its name.
