How to avoid committing Twittercide in three easy steps

This is a guest blog from Wayne Smallman of Blah Blah tech

Just one update on Twitter can either make or break you, and do so very publicly, too. A word to the wise: be wise with your words on Twitter!

More and more people, personalities and business entities are seeing the potential of Twitter as a new communications medium.

Even politicians are getting in on the act now. Over in the US, Twitter is now entering the political vocabulary, along with “credit crunch”. While over here in Britain, Tweetminster is a website that lists the growing number of members of parliament using Twitter to communicate with their constituents.

Twitter isn’t for telling and selling

I always like to try out new things and so a few months ago I opened a Twitter Account. Twitter is well known as the new phenomenon in the Social Networking world having grown 782% last year, however in spite of it’s remarkable growth and mainstream status (being mentioned in the broadsheets and tabloids, and earning celebrity endorsement such as Stephen Fry & Jonathan Ross), it hasn’t yet been adopted in general business.

If you use Twitter for business, then it could be important to you to be able to backup your followers if, for whatever reason, they were lost.

I know I wouldn’t like to fall off the edge of the Twitterverse and have the people following me wondering where I had got to.

Google Reader and Twitter – Live market research applied

By Ian McAllister of CV4.biz

My friend Nikki Pilkington, the UK’s leading SEO expert, created her 299 Steps to Website Heaven for those of us who would like to learn and do more about SEOing, but don’t want to become full time SEO experts. I find the guide an excellent piece of work, and she asked me for a copy of a piece on how I use Google Reader and Twitter as a supplement to 299 Steps. Happy to do so, I thought I would take this back a bit further as to why I think Google Reader and Twitter are so effective for the business person….

Tweet Replies

Although Twitter sends your DMs to you via email, : messages can sometimes get missed as they’re not sent to you. Tweet Replies allows you to have your @ messages sent to your email, RSS feed or browser.
It says it doesn’t need your password to work, which is more than a little worrying – does this mean that ANYONE can get your @ replies via this site? We’d welcome some comment from Tweet Replies themselves
