Like I’ve written before, I didn’t really spend a large amount of time with Twitter until May of this year. Like I’ve written before, I didn’t really spend a large amount of time with Twitter until May of this year. First, some disclaimers on my methods/motivations of using Twitter. But for me, it works.

I was inspired to write this blog post based on an article that surfaced in my Facebook feed about Appetas , a restaurant website service, that up until now, offered restaurants a turn-key solution to having a website with useful integrated features such as menus, online ordering etc.

Tweets, blog posts, and articles are peppered with how to-s, trends, and best practices. Hell, even I’m guilty of over saturating my twitter feed with social media tweets. Automate Twitter – Many people immediately balk at the idea of using tools that automate some of the tasks with Twitter. Worth every penny, hands down.

Below is the list that I use regularly that cover using Twitter, Facebook, blogging, news consumption and social/web stats. Hootsuite (free) – Still my personal favorite Twitter client, and if you are using this on your phone or computer, it makes sense to stay consistent.

Boy it can be a challenge to consistently come up with compelling blog articles, and luckily today, I stumbled across a few real gems I just had to share. I added their Twitter and YouTube Channel apps to my Facebook page and they work great. They have some great free Facebook applications and I took advantage of 2 of them.

The facts are Twitter and Facebook are the kings of social media so having both prominently on your blog posts increases the chances that your readers will use them and spread the love. Twitter Tools – The Twitter Tools plugin simply helps you be more efficient by automatically tweeting your blog posts once you publish.

In comparison, Twitter comes in at 14% and Facebook at 9%. Post your blog articles and/or relevant content. Rightfully so, you can’t submit a link to multiple groups at once, so once you have an article to share, visit each relevant group to submit your link. Direct traffic and Google account for the majority of the rest.

These were the top 10 visited blog articles I wrote in the past year. Most achieved a Postrank of higher then 6, and 9 out of the 10 articles dealt with social media. Based on these figures, Linked In is where I’m attracted my strongest audience followed closely by Twitter. 9 of my top 10 blog articles are social media related.

While most people certainly know how to use the Facebooks and Twitters of the world, there is a fairly large disconnect on how to use these channels to contribute to business objectives & goals. From editorial calenders to blog articles to reviewing social media engagement, having a communication team to partner with has been invaluable.

It’s not enough to just have a Facebook page or Twitter account. So of course I tackled the usual major players, Facebook, Twitter, etc. What I mean by that is companies that have active, real people engaging with their customers on multiple channels on a regular basis.

Standard disclaimer: I do manage a social media/creative agency and I’d be lying if I didn’t say that my time spent writing articles like these hopefully indirectly sends business our way, but I’d also be the first person to tell you if we weren’t a good fit for your needs as well. Did they increase engagement?

Facebook – Really if you don’t have this one on your phone, you really aren’t interested in this article to begin with right? Tweetie 2 – In my opinion, the crown jewel of Twitter iPhone apps. LinkedIn – Their first version was pretty lame, but the most recent update brings the app into usable form.

August 9th, 2009 Posted in Social Media Tweet Share When I peruse the different Twitter followers and followees I often get Twitter envy when I stumble across some users with a large follower base. I’ve grown my blog traffic 10x since being laid off, and Twitter has been a significant source of traffic. What’s more important?

But what drives me nuts is websites that actually put each item on it’s own page making you click through every one to read the entire article. Exception here is if you use Facebook Connect or the Twitter API to allow users to use their existing social media profiles to log in. The premise here is simple. Opening Links In New Windows.

Most people with a pulse can tell you that Facebook and Twitter are all the rage, but Socialnomics drives it home with detailed examples from organizations that have embraced social media and found huge success (Obama’s campaign detailed in Chapter 4), to companies that have missed the boat (see Hasbro’s Scrabble incident in Chapter 7).

General FYI: You followed me on Twitter so I looked you up and reciprocated when it was clear you had something interesting to say. I just clicked through to your blog based on your Tweet of this article. You're absolutely right– this looks like Olive Garden activity being conducted in their name. I'll be back.
