Words From a Purple Mind

Have you logged into Twitter recently? If you login today you will notice a new box with a link to widgets/twitter search. It even gives you a definition of what they are if you don’t already know. I have a feeling that this is just a test and pretty soon we will see “Advertise Here” links. My only wish is that they do not start having pop-ups. I personally am not a fan of popups.

We are all searching for something almost 90% of the time. Either we are searching for our next job, an old friend, new gossip, etc. Even though we are all searching for different things we can all use the same tools to find what we need/want.

This is just my two cents so take it as you may.

I haven’t written a blog that focuses on just Twitter but due to the extreme number of tweets I’ve seen since yesterday I thought this was needed. Since yesterday there has been many tweets about a site called tweetgreeter. I am in no way recommending the site since I think it’s a joke. The point of the site is to just add followers as fast as you can.

Overdrive Interactive has put together a great social media map. This map lists out the sites best used for different areas of social media. As we all know social media is huge so the more you can get the word out about who you are and what you represent the better.

Some of you use Twitter but do you use Twellow as well? Twellow pulls your updates from Twitter and posts them in the categories you select. You can get listed in 10 different categories.

If you want to connect with people who have experience and expertise in your areas of interest then this is the place to go.
