10 Ways to Find People on Twitter
Twitter is all about facilitating conversations, but until you're following some people, it's just a blank page. Once you find people to follow and talk to, however, Twitter becomes exceptionally useful. You can share thoughts, ask questions, get updates about news, music, brands, and businesses, and discover helpful links and information. Thankfully, there are a number of ways you can find people on Twitter. People Search 1. 2. 3. 4. Directories 5. 6. 7. Recommendations 8. 9. 10. BONUS: Mr.

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

A Roundup of Twitter Tracking Tools I want to share with you a roundup of Twitter tracking tools that I have put together. It's the result of the market research I did before launching our own prototype of a Twitter measurement tool a few weeks back. The list below summarizes tools that analyze influencers or popularity, evaluate sentiment or number of mentions, identify the location of the person tweeting, offer trend analysis or focus on time frames. I marked an “X” in the category that I perceive is the tool's primary utility. That is not to say that each tool doesn't do other things.  Also as an aside, I personally don't like the idea of sharing my Twitter password with a third party. This list is not exhaustive, but it may be helpful in trying to manage the deluge of daily tweets. As Pete Fasano and I have discussed, no tool appears to be the holy grail incorporating all these features. Some key things on her wish list: Let me get back to you.

The Ultimate Guide for Everything Twitter Part II We published the Ultimate Guide for Everything Twitter at just at the right time when everyone wanted to know about this Twitter thing, how to start using it, and how to sleeve it into their websites and blogs. The guide is still being tweeted at the rate of a few tweets per day, which is remarkable considering that it was published a few months ago. We’d like to thank everyone for the excellent reception of that post and we will continue to report on Twitter as it evolves. We’ve also incorporated all of your suggestions in the comments on the guide into this update post. As usual, we encourage you to submit more news about Twitter in the comments’ area so that we can include them in this post or in future ones.

10 Twitter Tools to Organize Your Tweeps As Twitter surges toward an estimated 12 million registered users by year's end (though some new stats may disagree), some of us are starting to deal with what we recently dubbed "followholism." You've followed so many people, it's hard to keep up, and it's probably time to do a little housekeeping. But where do you begin? Twitter's own tools for managing followers are subpar. Find Out Who You're Following When I first joined Twitter, I started following people right out of the gate in order to get some utility out of the site — after all, the only way to join the conversation is to start following it. 1. Find Your Friends Not all relationships on Twitter are equal. 4. Get Rid of Inactives According to a recent study, 80% of Twitter users have less than 10 total tweets. 7. Manage it All

Why I Don’t Use Twitter A Manifesto I believe in Twitter. I believe people want to use it and that it is useful to them. I’m less sure of its susceptibility to monetization, but then again, I cover cameras and ramen-bots, not internet business. Still, since I’m coming down to the TechCrunch 50 conference in a few weeks, and will likely be the only person attending who does not use Twitter, I felt I should furnish an explanation. Not that I think it really matters to anyone whether I use it or not, but by striking preemptively, I’ll avoid talking myself hoarse in explaining it repeatedly to those of you I meet. Now, I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been waiting for a chance to express myself on this (which may be why it is so very long (though my parenthetical style of writing shares the blame)), but it seems relevant enough and the timing is right. Tweets have no value What is a tweet? To proceed: the “this context” I mentioned above is simply that tweets are broadcast indiscriminately. So there you have it.

Web 2.0 Tool Review: Twitter in the Library April 5, 2009 at 1:52 pm · Filed under library sites , technology and tagged: communication , librarians , libraries , marketing , Twitter Twitter is a micro blogging and social networking service that’s easy to use and best of all — free. It allows members to post short messages that are 140 characters or less to their accounts. The social element of Twitter allows users to follow each other and monitor each other’s messages. In essence, Twitter is a way to communicate and connect with others, but it’s also a great marketing and publicity tool and so much more. Twitter is being used by individuals, groups, organizations and companies in many different ways. Here are a few examples of how Twitter is being used by librarians: The Barrington Area Library in Illinois has a Teen Zone Twitter account which is primarily used as an information resource for teens.
