The new Hootsuite is great! Multiple Twitter accounts a doddle

Date: 31st July 2009

We love Hootsuite here at NikkiPilkington.com – it allows us to manage mulitple accounts from wherever we happen to be, gives us some great stats, and the Hootsuite toolbar widget lets us Tweet out links with ease!

They’ve recently made some upgrades, and the new version is even better! Watch the video below to find out how managing multiple twitter accounts with Hootsuite is a doddle:

We’ve got a new look – and we’re still testing!

In order to bring Business on Twitter in line with the rest of the NikkiPilkington.com ‘brand’, we’ve used the same Wordpress theme from the NikkiPilkington.com blog – we want people to be aware that Business on Twitter is a part of NikkiPilkington.com and not a separate entity.

But we’re still not sure – what do YOU think? Is it confusing? Could we improve it but still make it obvious it’s part of NikkiPilkington.com? Love it? Hate it?

Let us know your thoughts below!

Clickable links in twitter backgrounds?

OK, it’s not a solution that’s going to suit everyone, and it reliies on a download, plus you have to pay, but thanks to Mashable for telling us about ClickableNow from SHIFT Communications and Whitley media, which gives you clickable links in your Twitter backgrounds.

We’ll let them tell you about it:

ClickableNow is a paid service that adds clickable hyperlinks to your Twitter background, and it’ll set you back $19.95 (you can RT this post to win a free code), but otherwise using the service is rather simple. You can login using Sign In with Twitter, pay once (and use forever), drag-and-drop links onto your background image, and preview your page.

Twitter is all about following people you’re interested in, right?

But when they’re all in amongst all the other people on Twitter, it gets hard to find them!

Find2Follow is designed to help you find the people you may like to follow – without having to search around for them – all you have to do is give them your username – it’s as simple as that!

When Retweeting goes wrong…

The other day I got a spammy DM from @seo_specialist – it said ‘Visit my site and click on my Adsense at [site removed].

It’s not the first of it’s kind I’ve received, but it bugged me, so I tweeted out:

Moan put out into the Twitterverse, I disappeared off to do something else, and thought nothing of it.

When I got back, I noticed the following Tweet in the @ column of Tweetdeck:

Can Social Media help me find my Fairway Taxi?

Date: 16th July 2009
Comments: 2 Related Categories: Twitter Musings, Twitter News

Obviously I’m a massive fan of social media, but a late night conversation with someone who’s not quite converted yet led to this post.

In the conversation I was lamenting the fact that for the past 10 years I’ve wanted to own a Fairway taxi. One that looks like this:

taxi Some people dream of Audi A4s, some want Maseratis and Lambourghinis – I want a good old London cab.

7 seats, diesel engine, turns on a sixpence (so easy to park), and just look at those curves!
