So What is Twitter?

This is what their homepage says about them: "Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question:
What are you doing?"  If you follow your friends and people of interest within your field of interest and in your community, you find out what works, what doesn't and what other people are interested in.

How to Make Money From Twitter

This type of media isn't an opportunity to spam your way to the top of the SERPs.  In fact if that is your strategy, it just won't work.  The best way to get noticed and to get a list of followers (as in all social media)
is to provide useful content to the community.  In Twitter, you have just 140 characters to make an impression and include a link to your product or service.  The smart way to get attention (and make money from
the resulting traffic) is to provide valuable information, not be self serving and contribute regularly.  The clicks that you may get as a result will provide great ROI, even better than what you may gain from targeted
PPC campaigns.

Right now the three sites that seem to be driving the most traffic are Digg, StumbleUpon and del.icio.us. FriendFeed is a new social media tool that allows you to view any and all updates to your accounts and friends'
accounts on the most popular social media sites like Twitter, StumbleUpon, Facebook, Flickr, and Digg. With FriendFeed, you can search conversations being had by the people who use social media the most in your
niche area. These are the most likely people to be the leaders of these niches.

Whilst doing some research on Twitter, I came across a very successful viral video: Cadbury Gorilla Commercial This would be very easy to make even more popular with a few tweets!

Retweet This - Is an application designed for use with the Greasemonkey Firefox plug-in. It allows you to append a retweet button to the end of each Twitter entry to encourage your followers to retweet your posts.

Classify Twitter Users is a script that allows you to classify Twitter users and decide whether they are worth following based on their friends, followers and post ratios. Another Greasemonkey app, it’s a great tool to
help you weed out the Twitter spammers and fan boys from the socially healthy.

You can set the script to use your own Twitter user scales (e.g. spammer, social climber, social rock star) or just gather more information about people you are following.

TwittAd allows Twitter users to monetize their account by accepting advertising on the background image of their Twitter user profile. You decide the duration and price advertisers pay for exposure and get paid for
every hour you serve the ad.

TwitterCounter lets you add a daily updating TwitterCounter to your blog so everybody can see how popular you are by the number of persons following you.

TweetBeep is just like having Google Alerts for Twitter. It enables you to keep track of conversations that mention you, your products or your company via email. You can even keep track of who’s tweeting your
website or blog. It’s a great tool for online reputation management and you don’t even have to be a Twitter user to benefit from it. TweetBeep is another one of my personal *must haves*.

Twitter Grader measures the reach and authority of a Twitter user, calculated by the pace of their updates, the completeness of their profile, their number of followers and the network power of those followers.

Twitter Grader displays as a score out of 100 and is consistently updating and adapting as your Twitter account grows. Based on those grades, Twitter Grader lists the Twitter Elite globally and in each country,
just like Technorati does for bloggers.

TwitPic, as the name suggests, is a photo sharing tool for Twitter. When logged in, it allows you to upload photos and post them with comments as a Tweet. It works with a range of Twitter clients such as Twitterific,
Twhirl and MobileTwitter and stores all your photos in a single location with updated viewing stats. As far as Twitter image sharing goes, this is king for reliability.

Twuffer is a Twitter buffer. It allows Twitter users to compose a list of future tweets, and schedule their release. Twuffer is ideal for making hourly, daily or monthly announcements or send post-dated birthday greetings
or reminders to people about upcoming events. It’s also perfect if you’re the type of person who wants to give the impression that you never sleep.

Twistori I have a real soft spot for. One of the developers is Amy Hoy, one of my favorite speakers from Webstock 2008 and a goth geek to boot. Twistori is a social experiment that taps into the Twitter conversations
revolving around life’s central activities: Love, Hate, Think, Believe, Feel, Wish. You can click on any of these emotions and witness a live feed of Tweets that use them. It’s voyeuristic and utterly compelling.

iTweet is another interface for Twitter. It has built-in auto-refresh, search and hash tags and features full follow, block and notifications features. Users can view and post user bio, location and URLs inline with their tweets.

Another cool feature of iTweet is the ability to Retweet a user post with a single click.

Twitturly is a service for tracking what URLs people are talking about as they talk about them on Twitter. Similar to Digg, on Twitturly, people “vote” for a URL. The more votes it gets the better it ranks.

If it does well enough, it gets promoted to the home page and as the votes increase it gets displayed higher up the home page. Twitturly differs from Digg in that instead of voting on their site, you vote by participating on Twitter.
Each time that you send a link to your followers on Twitter, Twitturly takes a note of it and applies your vote to that URL. It’s a great way to follow the loudest global conversations.

Mr Tweet is another big favorite of mine. Similar to LinkedIn, it looks through your extended network and makes suggestions to help you build effective relationships on Twitter. For example, which of your followers should
you be following in return? Who are the most influential people you should be following? Who are your followers following?

Twitter Search is Twitter’s own built-in and oft-overlooked search tool. You can use it to search for other Twitter users, keywords, hash tag topics and a range of cool shortcut items.

Non Twitter Specific Tools:

FlipTitle is, not surprisingly, a tool that enables you to flip text upside down. It’s great for Twitter because sometimes your tweets can get lost in the conversation. Using FlipTitle makes sure they get noticed.

Bit.ly is a very cool URL shortener that also includes click-thru statistics. Why is it perfect for Twitter? Because the length of the converted URLs is generally much shorter than other URL converters like TinyURL.

When you are tweeting, space is premium as your whole post can only consist of 140 characters including spacing.

The other neat thing aspect of Bit.ly is that it keeps a record of clicks that your URLs received and where they originated from. It even provides a share button so you can re-tweet your URLs on Twitter or send them to
friends on Facebook, Gmail or another email client.
