Nineteen Free Twitter Tools that Turn Twee Image via CrunchBase Twitter hosts approximately one million tweets per hour. In mid-September, the site will accept its 4 billionth tweet. Everyone knows there is wisdom in all that group thought--some even predict Twitter could be the next Google--but how can you tap the brainpower of Twitter's 6 million (give or take) users? That's Twitter's $64,000 question (or, according to Scoble, the $5 billion question). The reason there's so much hype about a microblogging tool with almost no apparent means of revenue or profit is that everyone realizes the amazing value contained in all those 140-character status updates.

169742 from socialmediatoday.com The 2010 Edelman Global Trust Barometer released today might motivate you to take another look at your 2010 PR and social media strategy. For the first time trust and transparency rank as important to corporate reputation as the quality of products and services. In fact, in the U.S. and in much of Western Europe, those two attributes rank higher than product quality—and far outrank financial returns. “We're seeing a vastly different set of factors driving reputation than we did 10 years ago<” says Richard Edelman. The most credible voice for a company has shifted back to academics/experts or industry analysts. The credibility of mainstream media, including television, newspapers, and radio, continues to wane. In the U.S., the credibility of television news dropped 20-plus points in two years (from 43 points in 2008 to 20 points in 2010).
