Title: Top 10 Twitter Tools to Use - Techno Infonet
1TOP 10 TWITTER TOOLS TO USE
2Bit.ly
1
Bit.ly is just a URL shortening service right?
Wrong! Used by _at_marismith, _at_techcrunch, and
_at_problogger, a free Bit.ly account will give you
access to a dashboard where you can shorten and
share links to multiple Twitter accounts. You can
also see the stats for any Bit.ly links you share
through your dashboard and plug your Bit.ly API
key into Tweetdeck, Twitterfeed, or Seesmic to
get stats for links you share through those
applications as well. As an added bonus, you can
even create your own custom short domain to match
your brand so you can have branding similar to
Mashables on.mash.to and Amazons amzn.to custom
URLs.

3Buffer
2
Buffer is deemed the smarter way to tweet, and is
used by _at_tweetsmarter, _at_jaybaer, and
_at_askaaronlee. It allows you to simply schedule
your tweets to be spread throughout the day so
you dont go through a reading spree and inundate
your followers with 20 tweets within an hour. You
can also get great analytics on your tweets which
will help determine what your audience loves, or
doesnt, out of the content you share as well as
the times of day you get the most action on your
tweets.

4CoTweet
3
CoTweet, used by _at_nealschaffer, _at_chrispirillo,
and _at_emarketer, is considered a Twitter marketing
tool for companies who want to engage, track, and
analyze conversations about their brand. The free
version allows you to manage your Twitter
accounts, collaborate with multiple users, track
clicks and limited analytics, schedule tweets,
keep conversation history for 30 days, and more.
The enterprise version (starting at 1,500USD a
month) allows integration with Salesforce,
advanced user roles and permissions, workgroups,
and full analytics.

5HootSuite
4
HootSuite is one of my personal favorites as far
as Twitter management is concerned, and is also
quite popular amongst the social media elite
including _at_chrisbrogan, _at_tweetsmarter, and
_at_tamar. It is a freemium tool, meaning that you
can use the free plan if you have fewer than five
social profiles to manage. But the Pro version
for unlimited social profiles including enhanced
analytics isnt too steep at only 5.99USD per
month.

6Paper.li
5
Paper.li is a unique application that allows you
to collect tweets and curate them manually or
automatically in a newspaper-style format which
can be automatically shared daily on your Twitter
account. Used by _at_scottmonty, _at_guykawasaki, and
_at_leeodden, this app is a great way to collect the
top tweets from your followers, people on a
specific Twitter list, or even anyone who
mentions a particular hashtag. It does drive a
nice bit of traffic to sites mentioned by top
users, so while some people may not like to be
mentioned, others greatly appreciate it!

7SocialOomph
6
SocialOomph is another freemium service used by
_at_mike_stelzner, _at_smallbiztrends, and _at_jeffbullas
that allows you to schedule tweets, track
keywords, extend your Twitter profile, and much
more with an unlimited amount of accounts for
free. If you choose to go professional for
29.97USD, you get additional features such as
Facebook scheduling, tweet via email, have others
update via email, manage DM spam, broadcast DMs
to all Status.net followers, and again, much
more. Plus, for an additional 3.97USD you can
automate following those who follow you and
sending welcome DMs to new followers.

8Triberr
7
Triberr is an invite only community used by
_at_lewishowes, _at_seanmalarkey, and _at_nealschaffer
that allows you to join tribes of like-minded
bloggers in order to expand your reach on
Twitter. Simply plug your RSS feed in and members
of your tribe will tweet each new post. As a
member, you can set yourself up to do automatic
tweeting of other members posts or manual
tweeting when you have reviewed and approved of
the posts.

9TweetDeck
8
TweetDeck is a desktop Twitter management tool
used by _at_jasonfalls, _at_problogger, and _at_marshallk.
It has features similar features to HootSuite in
terms of creating columns to organize your
Twitter activity as well as the ability to send
longer messages using their Deck.ly service which
creates a shortened URL that directs followers to
the rest of your tweet beyond 140 characters.
TweetDeck
10Twitterfeed
9
Twitterfeed, used by _at_sengineland,
_at_amyporterfield, and _at_cindyking, allows you to
add RSS feeds (yours and others) to be shared
automatically through your Twitter, Facebook, and
other social media accounts each time there is a
new update to them. You can customize the tweets
to show the title of the new post, the link
(shortened by your preferred URL shortener), and
even add a RT _at_username or via _at_username so you
let the blogger know youre always tweeting their
posts.
Twitterfeed
11Visibli
10
Visibili is a free service used by _at_brett,
_at_davepeck, and _at_denisewakeman that lets you
create a custom sharing bar that goes with any
links you share through their service. This
custom share bar can have your name and social
sharing icons as well as links to your website
and even a Tweet button which recommends your
Twitter accounts and Facebook Like button that
connects to your fan page.
