Tweetmentor praise – indulge me

We launched Tweetmentor earlier this year in order to help small (and large as it happens!) businesses to make the most of Twitter, gain leads from it and ultimately make money.

You can read about how I chose to market Tweetmentor to see that we didn’t do things the ‘expected’ way. :)

It’s always nice to read Tweets from people enjoying Tweetmentor, and to see people recommending it to others, but even nicer are the emails I get at times.

Twitturly dying? Have a heart, Twitter!

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

Twitter Twitter Twitter – a user manual

A fantastic post on PCMech by David Risley recently – Twitter: The user manual you can’t find

Headings include:

  • Why Use Twitter At All?

  • How Do You Make Twitter Worth Using?

  • How To Have a Conversation on Twitter

  • How To Get Followers

  • Making Twitter Easy To Use

  • Rules of the Road

I'm happy to use Increase Sociability.
