Because Twitter's not just for twits ;)
I’ve been asked this quite a lot recently, and as I have nothing to hide, I thought I’d blog about it 
Recently we’ve added a lot of posts asking for lists of people – copywriters, PR companies, recruiters, Marketing people – and we plan to add a lot more.
And lots of you have emailed me saying “Why are you doing this?” – some of you even think I have some evil master plan

How To Get More Traffic From Twitter
Reciprocation is a smart business idea. You scratch someones back. And they scratch your back in return.
But up until now, there was no reciprocation tool available that helps you generate traffic via Twitter. That has changed now because of the launch of the ReTweetize.com website.
ReTweetize is a simple easy to use and a completely free ReTweet exchange application that will help you generate more traffic.
Here is how it works:
There’s a new application for any mobile Windows devices – moTweets.
It’s got loads of great features, such as:

News in our inbox this morning that Twitter news aggregator Retweet.com is relaunching.
We’ll let them tell you what it’s about:
Retweet.com is the official place to find real-time news on popular stories, images, and videos.
We provide this service by scanning thousands of updates on the worlds most popular micro-blogging service, Twitter.com and with the help of users like you whom have added our retweet button to your blog.
The word retweet has now become one of the most popular terms online and describes the action of repeating or sharing someones original tweet / story.
A new Twitter mashup – GeoChirp, was recently launched by Cue Blocks Technologies. GeoChirp is a Twitter and Google maps mashup, that allows you to find Twitter users with similar interests in any particular geography around the world. You can check out the application here.
A lazy weekend post – I do love it when people email me about their new apps and do all the hard work for me, rather than saying ‘Can you tell everyone about my app’ with no description of justification at all
Anil sent us this email about Tweetymail:
I would like to share a Twitter app that I created called tweetymail: http://tweetymail.com
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:
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!
We love hearing about weird and wonderful ways to use Twitter, so when Steven, the owner of Roostr, dropped us a line asking us to look at his site, we were on it in a second!
They say:
What is Roostr?
Roostr helps you to find or let flats. By tapping into the speed and convenience of Twitter, Roostr makes searching for a new flat or flatshare quick and easy.
I'm happy to use Increase Sociability.
