Twitter and Blogging Wrap Up
The last couple posts have dealt with some of the ways that I use Twitter in conjunction with my blogging to improve both.
First participate in ways other than just automating your blog posts. See a good tweet with information that would benefit your followers retweet it. Respond and have conversations with others there. It is called networking for a reason.
Just like your blog you are building a community or “tribe” as Seth Godin calls it. People who look to you to deliver information they want and being a credible resource.
The final tool that I have found is called Mr. Tweet. Follow Mr Tweet and you will receive recommendations of people you should be and recommend you to others. This allows you to expand your sphere of influence from the recommendations.
It will save you time although you could and should be finding those worthwhile people if you are using Twitter for research (see the previous blog post).
Last integrate your Twitter into your other social networking by adding it to Facebook, My Blog Log, Friend Feed and any other places that allow it. That is the real leverage as like your RSS feed for your blog it allows you to be updating things at multiple sites with each tweet.
Hope you have enjoyed the series and will be back to more on WordPress now after the Twitter break.

I like Mr. Tweet too, It helped me find people related to the people I was already following. This is a great way to extend a community with those likely to share a common interest.

Using Mr Tweet helped me find some new people for me to follow in my field. It is a very valuable tool that I just discovered. Thanks for the series, it has been very informative. Give us more.

Been following the series Mike…thank you for all the great info. If we can remember that twitter isn’t for aggressive marketing tactics, it will preserve the tweeting experience for us all.

Thanks for the great series on Twitter. According to one blog that I can across while surfing there are at least 217 apps for Twitter. I too like Mr Tweet, Tweetdeck(uses over 100,000 of a Pc’s memory), etc.
