When company executives speak publicly, they become part of their customer's brand experience, and that's especially true when those executives venture into the Twitterverse. Probably to the horror of their handlers, many corporate leaders are starting to ask questions about Twitter, and some are already using it and speaking directly to customers.

15 Fascinating Ways to Track Twitter Trends. One of the great things about TwitterTwitter reviews is that it is a great place to track emerging trends. When major events or big stories occur, people tweet about it and it inevitably ends up at the top of Twitter Search as a top trend. But this only scratches the surface of tracking Twitter trends. There are a wide variety of web applications, Twitter accounts, and even iPhone apps that can help people do everything from track popular hashtags to graph out recent Twitter trends.

Teens Don’t Tweet; Twitter’s Growth Not Fueled By Youth | Nielse. David Martin, Vice President, Primary Research / Sue MacDonald, Research Manager You've probably heard of the Morgan Stanley report that declares "teenagers do not use Twitter," based on a sample size of one 15 year-old intern named Matthew Robson.

Morgan Stanley rightfully disclosed that they do not claim that his study is representational or merits statistical accuracy, so we thought we could provide both with our NetRatings panel of 250,000 U.S. Internet users. Twitter's footprint has expanded impressively in the first half of 2009, reaching 10.7 percent of all active Internet users in June. While the metrics in the chart above only represent the website and branded "front door" of Twitter, it would be a big stretch to assume that the gap in the youth demographic is being made up via other clients and platforms.

Twitter Better: 20 Ways to Filter Your Tweets. -Most Twitter users probably follow under a thousand other people, but that's enough to make it hard to keep track of the real-time stream. I actually started having trouble keeping up when I hit about 50 follows — and depending on how prolific the people you're following are, you could be dealing with a hard-to-parse Twitter stream even following just a handful of people.

But while people like social media fanatic Robert Scoble, who follows over 100,000 people, appear to have the superhuman ability to stay on top of things, the rest of us need help filtering the Twitter stream. Fortunately, there are a good number of methods and applications we can put to work to filter tweets from the people we're following. Which work best for you? Let us know in the comments. (Please note that a few of the apps in this post actually do multiple types of filtering, and so could have theoretically been added to more than one category.) By Keyword One way to filter Twitter is by keyword. By Links.

AddATweet: The Web’s New Commenting System? When most of us have ideas, they get locked way in the portion of our brain where we house the "if only I had the time or the money to do this" spot. When serial entrepreneurs like Dmitry Shapiro (CEO of Veoh, iList/Spymaster advisor) have an idea, they just build it. And that's the story behind the super new AddATweet. Shapiro says that he was tired of visiting sites like CNN and not being able to leave a comment without logging in, so he built a way to get around that using the browser and his Twitter identity. The idea took shape as AddATweet, giving us all an instantaneous way to leave a comment wherever we'd like.AddATweet is exactly as it sounds: it's a service that lets you add a tweet/comment to any webpage. The Firefox plugin supports comments by creating a browser-based sidebar where you can view, add, filter, and tweet comments.

It's a simple idea that's pretty nifty in practice. For a quick overview, watch this demo of AddATweet: ClickableNow. How to get the most out of your Twitter strategy. So I spoke at the Figaro Digital “Social Media” event on Tuesday. I really struggled to think of anything useful to talk about (some might say I didn't even achieve that!)

, after all, how many times will people regurgitate the same old case studies and say the same old things “the customer is in control” blah, blah, blah… Instead, I left the insightful stuff to my new buddy, all-round good guy and smart-cookie Freddie (and just had to agree with everything he said!) And thought I'd do something practical, that didn't preach and simply highlighted some just some really useful really. As it turned out, 90% of the audience was already using Twitter in a personal capacity and almost 50% in a professional one — who needed me to tell them how or why to Tweet?!
