Guestblog: Twitter for business – twitter backgrounds and twidgets

Date: 14th April 2010
No Comments Related Categories: Guest Blogs, Twitter Apps, Twitter Fun, Twitter Musings, Twitter News

Being as a friend calls me, a pioneer, I love finding things and trying them (trying in every sense of the word!).

One of my latest finds has thrilled me no end :-) It's here, http://www.freetwitterdesigner.com/

This nifty little gadget enables you to experiment with having a 'branded' twitter background. Yup a background that matches all your over stuff :-)

Research has shown having consistent branding across various social media platforms and apps increases recognition of the brand. Even if the brand is just you.

Bright AtlantaI’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 Win Big On Twitter?

Date: 30th September 2009
Comments: 4 Related Categories: Twitter Fun

An interesting email reached us today with a tale of how to win big on Twitter, but also of how to find a willing audience for your adverts. Twitter Lotto owner Pete tells us:

On September 25, 2009 – The Twitter Lottery was born. Created by a university student Canada, the Twitter Lottery is based on a single Twitter account that you follow as your “ticket”. As the web site grows and evolves, so does the jackpot. The web site grows from publicity, and the jackpot is earned and built from the web site’s growing value, advertising revenue and popularity. Unlike a standard lottery, the Twitter Lotto is free to participate in. This is what sets it apart from the rest.

The Java Balloon Project – The Highest Twitter Client In The Room

Date: 22nd September 2009
Comments: 1 Related Categories: Interesting Tweets, Twitter Fun, Twitter News

A guest post from Viorel Spinu, co-founder of Sety (Java custom development company)

I would like to introduce to you a new Twitter related story that happened this Friday in Bucharest, Romania.

Friday, the 18th of September 2009, the first auto-tweet has been sent from a helium balloon during the local WebStock IT NewMedia conference.

The concept

As an example of unusual Twitter application, we have custom programmed an IPhone to automatically tweet a photo of the room every minute. Next, we have attached the IPhone to a helium filled balloon and let it fly during the WebStock conference (a local Bucharest IT conference), having so created “the highest twitter client ever”.

Using Twitter to run polls

Date: 6th July 2009
Comments: 1 Related Categories: Twitter Fun

We love TwtPoll, a quick and easy way to run a poll / survey n Twitter – it’s easy to set up, and allows people to retweet from the poll very easily.

Occasionally I like to browse through the polls and vote on a few. I always add a comment if I vote – for one, it puts my Twitter name on the comments page, which may encourage peple to check me out, and also I think it’s polite to leave a quick comment (and it takes a few seconds!)

Some recent polls that have caught my eye:

7 New Twitter Apps from Killer Startups

Date: 28th May 2009
Comments: 4 Related Categories: Innovative Twitterings, Interesting Tweets, Twitter Apps, Twitter Fun, Twitter Musings, Twitter News, Twitter for Business

I’ve been a fan of Killer Startups for a while – the premise is that they add 15+ startup sites a day and allow users to vote on them. Unfortunately not as many people as could be are voting, and it seems that there are lots of (ahem) Killer Startups missing out on publicity, so if you could take the time to pop over and have a nose around, I’m sure it would be appreciated!

As this is a blog about Twitter, I’m only going to feature recent Twitter related posts on there, but there are others that are well worth a look too!
