Twitter: spammers, wine tasting, iPhone and more!
The Twitter news is coming in fast and furiously - here’s our round up of the past few hours:
- Shamus echos my own sentiments on those twitter spammers - just exactly HOW do they get so many followers? I know some people will have accounts set to auto follow, but even so….
- Tweet2Win is a service that basically seems to want you to promote it for the chance to win prizes. On first glance it looks predominantly American, and I’m not sure I understand the point of it, but as loads of you have sent me the link I thought I should check it out!
- RotorBlog have 10 Social Networking Apps for your iPhone. now I’ve avoided jumping on the iPhone bandwagon, but as it seems moderately (cough) popular, you might be interested to know that Twitterific and Twittelator are available on the iPhone.
- Business Week have an article on why Twitter matters - if you’re interested in Twitter from a business perspective this is definitely worth a read.
- WTF is Twitter? features short videos of people telling us what THEY think Twitter is - useful for ‘celeb’ spotting and wasting a bit of time while procrastinating …
- Jim Kukral is offering free business Twitter backgrounds on his blog - if you don’t want ot be stuck with the basic newbie Twitter skin, but don’t have the time skills or knowledge to make your own, he’s worth checking out.
- And finally… for a bit of fun why not join the Twitter Taste Live - wine tasting via Twitter - if you do take part in this please let me know how you get on!
