Snazzy Background For Twitter?

The Twitter background: To snaz or not to snaz that is the
question. I really have no definitive answer to that
question. But it seems that if you are trying to make a name
for yourself anything will help and it can’t hurt to pimp
out your Twitter background to see if you can’t stand out
from the rest maybe even create a little controversy. If you
already are famous as heck, like Demi Moore, I guess you
don’t have to do squat to your account to attract huge
followings of Twitter faithful who will hang on your every
word.

That said I thought I would spot light a few Twitter
backgrounds and give you some background on the backgrounds
if that makes any sense at all.

Since we mentioned Demi Moore already I will just start with
her background. Of course if you are a Gen Xer you remember
Demi as the hot starlet with the husky voice from St. Elmos
Fire or perhaps her early marriage to Bruce Willis or the
too numerous to mention movies she has starred in and now
are just starting to believe she is some sort of vampire,
because frankly gravity is not doing things to her body that
it is to the rest of us. If you are younger than a Gen Xer
you just may think she is some pretty young woman you’d like
to hangout with. Whatever you think of Demi- her Twitter
following has erupted to over half of million while probably
her Twitter background is one of the most plain and
unpretentious on the site. Her back ground or the lack of it
can be seen at http://twitter.com/mrskutcher

Now to cover the other end of the spectrum I think absolute
craziest Twitter background title belongs to Mr. Michael Ian
Black in which has a depiction of him hiding behind Dr.
Pepper cans evidently naked and apparently strangling a
unicorn while Demi Moore is looking on.

This background seems to be helping him gain followers
because he also has over a quarter of a million followers,
even though he is not famous. He does claim to be a famous
comedian but his claim to fame is from an obscure show on
MTV which no one watched since MTV has stopped playing video
and started ripping off Mexican TV game shows. His Twitter
background can be seen at

http://api.twitter.com/michaelianblack

To contrast the art work of the Mr. Blacks Twitter
background I would like to leave you with the classic black
background. The sort of Ralf Lorene style background which
no one can comment on or condemn, because it is so simple
and classically black. This is the little black dress of
Twitter websites and like the dress it is perfect for every
occasion. In the Twitter world a classic black background
goes with whatever you have to say. The classic black
background goes well with political statements, just day to
day banter, celebrity gossip even if you don’t have anything
to say. Like in the case of The Mime who has not only gained
over 8,000 followers without being famous he has also gained
all of those followers without ever tweeting a single word. That’s
right since becoming a member The Mime has amassed a loyal
following thru his classic black background and his uncanny
ability to keep us spellbound by his (-) tweets. You can see The Mime on
Twitter at http://api.twitter.com/TheMime

So, you can see for yourself how a background can work or
not work for you.

3 Ways You Can Enhance Your Twitter Experience

If you use Twitter on the web by itself there’s already a
lot of things that you can do to promote your business.
However there are several other ways that you can enhance
your Twitter experience. After reading this article, you’ll
learn of 6 ways that you can enhance your Twitter
experience.

1. Use Twitter in combination with other networking
sites

This is absolutely critical. That is why it is listed
first. You should never put all your eggs in the same
basket. What if something happens to Twitter? What if it’s
down for maintenance? What if there are just too many
tweeps on at once and you keep seeing the fail whale (that’s
what happens when you can’t load twiter)? There is a
service called tweetake,
which allows you to download your followers, favorites, tweets, dms, everything you
need to talk to your Twitter family outside of Twitter. I
suggest you download this file from tweetake daily. Another thing
you should do is invite your friends to join you on Facebook
or LinkedIn. I recommend putting your Facebook profile on
your Twitter page as your website. That way when people
follow you on Twitter, they’ll go right to your Facebook
page and follow you there too. Find an email address for
your Twitter posse so you can send emails to them. Don’t
send them commercial messages unless they sign up for your
email list. That’s considered spam. You can send them
messages that you’d send to your friends. It’s great to
email your Twitter friends information that will help them
with their business. They’ll be extremely grateful to you
for sending them wondeful information and it will seem more
personal because you sent it right to them instead of
blasting it to the whole Twitterverse!

2. Use Twitter +twitwall to market your telecalls.

Twitwall is an excellent service to use to market your
telecalls. Every Twitter user gets a twitwall. You’d use
your twitwall when you have things that are more than 140
characters to post. You can use your twitwall to promote
your telecalls very easily. You’d just post the relevant
information to the twitwall and then retweet it. Important: Be sure
to include the words please retweet in the headline when you
post information about your telecall. Even though twitwall
makes it easy for people to retweet your information, they
won’t do it unless you tell them to most of the time.

3. Twitter + Hashtag + tweetchat = PARTY!

Another great way to get people talking about you and your
business is to hold a Twitter party! Twitter parties are
very easy to set up. All you have to do is create a hashtag
for your party. Basically a hashtag acts a tracker for your
party. Once you decide on a hashtag, next pick a date and a
time. Then start telling everyone that’s in your Twitter
family about your party and ask them to retweet the
information for you. On the day of the party you can use tweetchat to follow
everything everyone is saying about the party. Tweetchat is
awesome because once you go to the website and log in, it
automatically inserts the hashtag and tells you how many
characters you have left to
tweet
with. It also allows you to momentarily stop the
chat within the chat room so you can scroll back and see
what was said before you enter the room. It’s important to
both participate in and throw Twitter parties because it’s a
great way to get the word out about your business and you
can meet new people that are interested in the same things
that you are interested in.

Twitter is a great tool to use to drive traffic to your
website. These things that I’ve mentioned will only improve
the amount and quality of the traffic you get to your
website.

Use Twitter to network with local tweeps

Interacting with people online is a wonderful way to get
started networking. Eventually you will want to meet some
of your new found friends in person so they can become your
In Real Life or (IRL) friends. People are more likely to do
business with or joint ventures with you once they have met
you in person and see that you are a real person and you act
the same way offline as you do online. Here are some tools
to help you find people in your local area to follow.

7. You can use hashtags.org to find people in your
geographical area to follow. Just type in your city or
state and you will see all of the tweeple that are located
in or talking about things related to your city or state.

8. Another service you can use to find people located
near you with is tweets.ws. Tweets.ws is very simple to use.
Just click on choose your own news topic and type in your
state. I tried using my city and state but I didn’t find
anything that way. Once you type in your state you will see
everyone who is in your state or talking about things of
interest to your state.

9. Another great tool to use to find tweeps in your
area is Twittermass. All you do with this site is to go to
the website and login with the same username and password
that you use to log in to Twitter. Once you’ve logged in
you’ll have to click on the tab that says Create. Then click
on manual follow for best results. Type in your City and
State. The website will generate a list of tweeple in your
city and state and then you can follow them.

10. Citytweets is
another wonderful tool to help you find tweeps in your local
area. Now if you live in a suburb you may need to use the
next biggest city to find people near you. It looks like
that site is still growing.

Twitter is a wonderful way to meet new people. Be sure to
follow people local to your area so you can meet them in
person. Be on the lookout for tweetups on your area.
Basically, a tweetup is a combination of the word meet-up
and Twitter or a bunch of tweeple in the same geographic
area that meet-up and network. Tweetups are great tools to
add to your arsenal of Twitter tools. Be sure to take
pictures and videos. This will prove that you were at the href="http://tweeplepro.com">tweetup. When you meet
people in person you deepen the relationships that you have
on Twitter. That’s what it’s all about after all, right?

Goin’ Mobile – It is Right for Your Business?

Mobile computinghas hit the airwaves by storm. As more and more people get hold of enhanced mobile phones (a ‘cell’ phone is soooo 90′s), more and more people use their new found mobile friend to browse away the hours on the morning train or bus. Why not get YOUR site ‘mobilized’?

If you have a ‘self-hosted’ wordpress blog, it is no harder than installing a new plugin that was recently released. If you want to see it in action, simply click on the link in the top right corner of the sidebar where it says “Switch to our Mobile Site”. I know it may not be near as cool as our full fledged blog with all the great graphics, but when you are looking at goin’ mobile’ you need to keep your site clean and streamlined. The lighter the better.

Now, if you want to find out more about getting your site into the mobile world, there is a free report about it and if you are ready to jump into the airwaves full force (it really IS pretty simple and easy to do – not to mention many of the tools listed in the manual are FREE!) you can grab your copy of our Mobile Manual today and have your mobile site up and running in about ten minutes (even if it is a ‘static HTML or PHP website!).

The Search Is On- Get Indexed Using Twitter

Did you know that you could use Twitter to be found in the
search engines? That’s correct. Twitter is for more than
just talking to your friends about what you are eating for
dinner. Simply by answering the seemingly pointless
question of “Whatcha doin’?”, you can help your website be
found on the search engines.

Well, you might ask; how can I use Twitter to be found on
the search engines like Google? That’s a great question. I’m
so glad you asked that.

Many people wonder how they’re going to do that when they
sign up to join Twitter. Many people can’t believe that all
they have to do is type in the answer to a simple question
and they’ll be found on the search engines. In this article
you’ll discover ways you can use Twitter to help your
website be found in the search engines.

One way that you can use your social media profile to be
found is to populate your profile with the keywords you wish
to be found in.

For example, if you are a virtual assistant, you want people
to see the word virtual assistant in your profile. If you’re
a writer, be sure you put the word writer in your profile.
The more words related to what you do, the easier it will be
for the people searching for you to find you. Also, if you
have a particular niche that you serve, be certain to
include that niche in your profile as well. People looking
for that niche will use that keyword in their search. Also
be sure to include your website url in your profile.
Ideally this will be some type of opt in list so you can
collect people’s email address. This is important because
you still want to be able to connect with these people
should something bad happen to Twitter.

Additionally you want to make sure that the information you
are posting to your profile is information that is relevant
to your niche. In other words, if you write for small
businesses, be sure to post information related to small
business. This helps you to be seen as an authority figure
in your subject matter or area of expertise. Also, this
type of information gets
retweeted
a lot. If at all possible, post relevant
resources and content on your website and then post the link
to that content on Twitter. That is a great way to get your
website noticed by the search engine.

Twitter is an outstanding tool to use to get your website
found in the search engines. Follow the steps mentioned
above and you’ll be well on your way to being a Twitter rock
star! Oh yeah, and you’ll be getting lots and lots of
search engine love, too.

‘Read It Later’ For iPhones

If you use Mozilla Firefox as your computer browser at home, you’re familiar with the
wonderful variety of useful plugins Mozilla allows.

One of my home-computer favorites has been “Read It Later”.

This plug-in allows you to save pages to read later (even when you’re offline.) So you can
imagine how my interest was piqued when I realized it was now possible to access my favorite
plug-in while using an iPhone or iPod Touch (which comes with a standard Mobile Safari
browser).

How Does It Work?

As easy as butter!  Save a page on your iPhone by simply hitting the “read it now” icon. Sync it
immediately to your computer by hitting your blue Sync button.

If an article is one you’re particularly excited about, you can tap your “Share” button to share it
by using your Social Networking tools – Digg, Twitter, Delicious, Facebook or Email – any one
that you’ve enabled.  (You can also share to other iPhone apps, too – like Twitterfon and
Tweetie.)

There’s also a “New Bookmarklets” option in Mobile Safari.  Scan, tap and save – that’s all there
is to it. Even in batches.  So if you’re on CNN, and find several stories that look interesting, you
can just queue them up for reading later – either on your iPhone, or at home on your computer.

Later, you can retrieve your list of saved articles. On your iPhone, just tap the one you want to
retrieve.

You can also view your pages Airplane or Offline mode. You can choose the full-page mode,
complete with graphics, exactly as it appeared on the web – or you can select a “Text Only”
version. You can change the font size, or flip the background from white to dark, if you prefer.

In short, this plug-in does its best to be flexible and accommodating to any viewing situation.

And of course, if you add a page via iPhone while out and about, you can relax and forget about
it, knowing it will be there later on your computer at home for you to read.

Is It Hard To Set Up?

Installing Read It Later on your iPhone couldn’t be easier.  If you’ve never opened an app
before, just go the How to use Read It Later on your iPhone/iPod page.  There are full
instructions, broken down into easy to access modules, for installation.
When you’ve done the installation and first open the app, two big orange buttons will fill the
screen.

If you haven’t used this bookmark app on Firefox or any other computer or device yet, tap the
“I am new to Read It Later” button.

Enter a new username and password, and it creates your account.  Later, you’re able to access it
from your home computer.

If you already have it at home installed via Firefox, tap “I already use Read It Later” button.

Just enter your username and password to log on.

What If There Are Several Pages?

Read It Later takes care of this problem, too. It saves and sorts by “% completed”, and if there’s
a web article that extends over several pages, it combines them for you in both text and web
mode.

The “Down” Side

Read It Later offers both a free and a “Pro” version.
The main differences?

The Pro version offers more options. Unfortunately, they’re all the most useful ones.

Options that are only available in the “Pro” version:

*       Tap To Save Bookmarklet
*       Full Screen reader
*       Share
*       Automark as “Read”
*       Unread Count (appears as a number at the top right corner of your Read It Later icon)
*       One-Touch Rotation Lock (just tap once to unlock)

With their “Full Screen” option, you can get rid of the toolbar to provide yourself with more
viewing room on your screen. And getting the toolbar back again is ridiculously easy – just tap
the screen when you’re ready for it to return.

I also like Landscape mode better than Portrait.  The Pro version allows you to flip the display
to Landscape mode – and toggle it back to Portrait again.

But Read It Later redeems itself again – at $2.99, upgrading is a no-brainer!

But Wait – There’s More
Read It Later is currently developing versions for other phones, but makes the guides available
on line, in case you want to create your own app or Mashup.

And while they’re at it – they’re already at work on Version 2.0.

videos and MobiBooks formatted for your Mobile Phones and Kindle.
