Business on Twitter

Apparently mine (NikkiPilkington) is worth $507 - to whom, I wonder?

According to TweetValue - I have a long way to go to match Chris Brogan, who is worth over $8000.

According to Twitturly, due to recent changes to Twitter’s API, Twitturly is slowly dying. There’s a plea on their status page for Twitturly users to contact the poeple that can help fix this, namely: Evan Williams, Biz Stone, Alex Payne, Evan Weaver.

The graphic below shows how the number of Tweets Twitturly processes in a day has dropped dramatically since the API changes.

For those of you that haven’t heard of Twitturly, here’s their blurb:

Twitt(url)y, or twitturly if you prefer, is a service for tracking what URLs people are talking about as they talk about them on Twitter.

Good morning Twitter campers - a fairly hefty roundup this morning as lots of news and views coming in by email as well as on our twitter radar!

• Twittes.com give us a massive list of links about Twitter - not very pretty, but quite interesting to have a look through if you’re starved of Twitter news!

• Twitter Status keeps us updated on the ..ummm… status of Twitter - good if you’re intersted in stats and figures - and pretty little graphs

• It’s after lunch so time for another Twitter roundup

• Bands are jumping on the Twitter bandwagon (see what I did there?) according to Frank Kroliki - can’t say i’m surprised, it’s a great way to get quick and easy news out.

• 26 Ways to update Twitter from Lost In Technology - desktop clients, firefox plugins, and online services galore. You’ll neverbe stuck for a way to update Twitter again!

• If you write articles and put them on Ezine Articles then this tip from The Income Academy helps you to make sure that they’re publicised on twitter too. This could probably be applied to lots of other content sites too, so have a think about it.

Good morning people - time for the morning roundup of Twitter news on my radar:

• Interesting Twitter Life Cycle diagram from CogDog - I think it pretty much encompasses most people’s experience of Twitter, at least in a social capacity. Some intersting links from that story too, to others’ examples of their Twitter experience.

• ɹǝʇʇıʍʇ uı uʍop ǝpısdn ǝʇıɹʍ oʇ ʍoɥ - over at Paciific IT, Robert Sanzalone tells us how to write upside down in Twitter - yes, I know it has no actual USE, and it’s very annoying after a while, but it’s geeky and funny for about 3 seconds and I guarantee most of you will try it

Happy Bastille Day to all our French readers and followers - the sun is shining in france today so hopefully you are all out enjoying the weather!

For the rest of us, here’s a round up of the Twitter news in my inbox this morning!

• ReadWriteWeb have a nice little round up of ten top twitter apps for you to play with. There’s a funky Flash mapping interface, called Twitter Atlas, that I haven’t seen before and must play with later. Also find out how to integrate Twitter with Second Life, how to post directly to your 30 Boxes calendar account, how to share what you’re listening to on Last.fm and more.

They say:

Through an automated algorithm, twitscoop crawls hundreds of tweets every minute and extracts the words which are mentionned more often than usual.
The result is displayed in a Tag Cloud, using the following rule: the hotter, the bigger…
You can also input a twitter username in the search box to track a conversation.

We say:

Current hot topics appear to be:

Funky little service that allows you to monitor the growth (or not!) of ‘followers’ of your Tweets.

The more followers you have, the more people will see your messages, and the higher the likelihood of them being ‘re-tweeted’ and passed around.

In addition, if you really want to show off, you can add an icon to your blog or website that shows how many followers you have - probably not advisable if the number is less than ten
