  1. Escribes el texto del mensaje
  2. Añades una URL al servicio o producto
  3. Programas la fecha y hora de envío del mensaje a Twitter

Por lo que en realidad es una especie de programación de campañas de auto-promoción en Twitter. Además, a posteriori, te ofrece una herramienta de seguimiento de los clics obtenidos para tu campaña, de modo que puedas comprobar el éxito de tu envío.
Curioso, e interesante para empresas que usen Twitter para anunciar sus servicios y productos. En este vídeo te explican como funciona el servicio …

A Few Cool Social Media Website Tools

28 de agosto de 2010 Dejar un comentario
If your business has started to see the potential with social media you might be looking for some cool social media tools to utilize on your website. In this article I’ll break down a few of the many tools that could potentially benefit your website:

1) Facebook Like Button- Now that you no longer become a “Fan” of a business, make sure you include the “like” button in all of your blog articles. You may even want to add it to every page of your website.

2) Facebook Activity Feed- The Activity Feed is a plugin displays Facebook profile pictures of your Friends who “like” the website you’re visiting. This a neat tool to use because it can persuade visitors to your website to “like” your business on Facebook, since they can see that their Friends already do.

3) ‘Tweet This’ button- Just like the Facebook “like” button, this Twitter button will allow you to tweet out a blog article or a page of a website with one click of your mouse. WordPress has a plug known as TweetMeMe that allows you to easily add this to any page of your website.

4) Wibiya Social Toolbar- This is a website enhancer that adds a little bar across the bottom of your website or blog. This toolbar encourages people to stay on your website will interacting with others. It also fully integrates with many different social networking websites, including Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz and YouTube.
These are just a few of the many social networking tools that your business can use on it’s website. Remember, it’s all about encouraging interaction. The more your audience engages the more information you can get from them, and the more quality information you can provide them. All this leads to more business down the road.
If you have any tools you’d like to add to this list please do so. We’d love to hear about it.

5 Free Ways to Never Miss a Twitter @Reply

3 de agosto de 2010 Dejar un comentario

There are plenty of Twitter apps and clients offering brand monitoring and keyword alert services, but if you’re only one person, you may want a more lightweight way of keeping track of what people are saying about you on the micro-blogging service.

To this end, we’ve found five free, web-based Twitter services that will let you know via e-mail each time you are on the receiving end of an @mention, or get an @reply.

Have a read through our picks below to see which one might suit your needs, and let us know your thoughts. If there are any services you’ve used that didn’t make the list, share them in the comments box.

————————————————– ——————————

1. Twitstra

————————————————– ——————————

About as lightweight as services come, Twitstra is a study in minimalist app design. Sign in to the service using OAuth, enter the e-mail address you’d like the alerts to go to, wait for the confirmation link e-mail to come through, then hit the link and you’re all set up.

Twitstra will then send you an e-mail every time a tweet mentions your Twitter name. Pretty much as instantaneous as you could expect, a Twitstra alert e-mail tells you who has referenced you in the subject line and then provides the full tweet in the body of the e-mail in plain text.

Twitstra also offers a reply via e-mail service, but this was not functioning at the time of testing, although the developer says a fix is promised soon.

——————————————————————————–

2. UgoTwitt

——————————————————————————–

French service UgoTwitt will e-mail you notifications when your handle is tweeted. Sign up on the site with your Twitter name, password, and e-mail notification preference (OAuth is said to be in the pipelines). After you’ve verified your address, the alerts will start pouring in (this was the third-fastest service we tested).

The alert e-mails will come with a French subject “Vous avez recu x nouvelles reponses de…” adding a bit of charm to your inbox, but are simple to read with a thumbnail image of the tweeter, the full text of the tweet and the option to reply.

Hitting the “send a reply” link loads up your Twitter web page and auto-fills the person’s Twitter name, readying you for an easy response.

——————————————————————————–

3. TweetAlarm

——————————————————————————–

TweetAlarm is a keyword notification service. Signing up requires the standard OAuth and e-mail, after which you can set up your keywords to watch.

TweetAlarm offers the really nifty trick of adding a list of users to ignore (which it automatically adds you to, although this can be changed), which is a handy option if you don’t want to be alerted to a particular user’s @replies. Making this an even better feature, there’s also a shortcut “ignore” link in alert e-mails that come through, so if you forget to ignore someone and get alerted to one of their tweets, you can just hit the “ignore” link and TweetAlerts will add them to the “don’t bother to alert me” list.

You can set up alerts to come through daily, weekly or as often as the service finds tweets — although this is currently set at two hours due to Twitter’s new API search limits.

When e-mails come through, they offer details of all the mentions in the body, complete with thumbnail images of each Twitter user.

——————————————————————————–

4. Pu.ly

——————————————————————————–

Pu.ly offers a few handy little services for anyone who doesn’t want to be signed into Twitter all day, but needs to keep abreast of developments.

In addition to telling you via e-mail when you have an @reply or mention, the service will do the same when you are added to a Twitter list or receive a direct message.

For the purposes of this post, we tested the mention and reply alerts. Getting set up is easy; just connect via OAuth, enter the e-mail address you’d like the alerts sent to, and then select “on” or “off” for each of the three functions.

When the alerts messages come through (which is very soon after the @action — matching Twitstra for speed) the subject line states, “mentioned in tweet by user” and the full tweet is shown in the body copy. A handy part of the service is the ability to reply in-mail to save loading up Twitter.

To reply in-mail, you simply hit reply as you normally would for an e-mail, make sure you add the @name of who you’re replying to, and the service will send the first 140 characters as a tweet.

——————————————————————————–

5. Twilert

——————————————————————————–

Twilert is a good-looking web-based Twitter app that actually offers general keyword alerts, and can potentially be used as a simplified monitoring tool. But for our purposes, we tested it as an @mention notifier.

To get going, sign up and in via OAuth, set your time-zone, enter your e-mail address and then create your keyword-based Twilert; in this instance “@username.”

Twilert lets you specify when you want the alerts to come through, with the minimum time period a 15 minute check. We set our Twilerts to the minimum, but saw gaps of two hours between alerts at peak times, suggesting system load was heavy, although alerts did come through quicker at quieter times.

The e-mails that come through offer a list of who has @mentioned you in the time frame you’ve set up, with thumbnails of the Twitter users and hyperlink-rich text offering the ability to “view” or “reply” — both of which direct you to Twitter.

——————————————————————————–

In Summary

——————————————————————————–

All the services did what they promised to, but if you want fast notifications of any kind of @mention, then Twitstra and Pu.ly are going to be your best options. Twitstra wins for simplicity, while Pu.ly offers extra features like DM alerts.

The better looking TweetAlarm and Twilert services offer a more casual alert experience, but with general keyword alert options, they could prove more useful for more advanced Twitter monitoring.

Sobre Twitter

26 de julio de 2010 Dejar un comentario

Twitter ya tiene los usuarios: ahora necesita encontrar la fórmula para rentabilizarlos. Lo que parece claro es que, de momento, el servicio de microblogs está apostando por estrategias no demasiado innovadoras, lo cual no significa que no vayan a ser eficaces.

Así, tras el reciente estreno de sus “Tweets promocionados”, ahora acaba de estrenar Earlybird, un servicio que alertará sobre promociones y ofertas creadas en exclusiva para los seguidores de la cuenta por empresas asociadas.

De momento, la cuenta ya llega casi a los 10.000 seguidores en sus primeras  horas de vida, y eso que no ha hecho más que presentarse, ya que todavía no ha lanzado ninguna oferta. Entre éstas se incluirán tanto todo tipo de productos de consumo como eventos, por ejemplo viajes o entradas para conciertos.

Cada vendedor fijará el precio del producto o servicio y el tiempo que la oferta estará vigente. Las ofertas serán limitadas en el tiempo, una tendencia que parece imponerse entre muchos comercios electrónicos, ya que obliga a los consumidores a estar atentos a las promociones y a decidir rápidamente si adquieren o no el producto.

Los tweets con las ofertas de Earlybird aparecerán en la línea temporal de cada usuario como cualquier otra cuenta a la que esté suscrito, es decir, Twitter no hará un esfuerzo especial por destacarlossobre el resto.

En unos días los seguidores de Earlybird recibirán la primera oferta, que de momento se dirigirá sólo a los consumidores en los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, Twitter tiene previsto ampliar el servicio a otros países más adelante.
