Tweetie, A Fast, Easy To Use, A Full-Featured Twitter iPhone App I agree with John Gruber on this one, so far Tweetie is the best iPhone app for Twitter out there (I’m sure more are on the way). It’s meets most of my mobile Twitter requirements. You can download it for $2.99 from the iTunes Store. Here’s a breakdown of it’s features: - Handle multiple twitter accounts. - View your timeline, replies, direct messages and favorites. - Browse your friends and followers. - Post new tweets, retweet - Reply directly to tweets and send direct messages. - Follow and unfollow people. - Mark tweets as favorites. - Navigate reply chains....

Twitter Followers vs. RSS SubscribersDaniel’s note: This is a guest post by Nathan Rice. My personal opinions are slightly different than his when it comes to Twitter followers vs. RSS subscribers (because I think the latter are more important for a blogger or web publisher), but I am always open to different perspectives and points of view. I am also curious to know which one you guys value more, so make sure to drop a comment after you read the article. You may be aware that Twitter is the newest phenomenon in the blogoshpere. Big name bloggers have been jumping on the Twitter bandwagon...

Mozilla: One Billion Addons Served - Here Are Some of Our FavoritesMozilla today announced that it has served its 1 billionth addon download since they started keeping track of these downloads in 2005. Currently, Mozilla's users are downloading close to 1.5 million addons every day. Mozilla has cultivated one of the most active and interesting developer communities around its products and seeing numbers like these will surely give a lot of other developers an incentive to try their hands at developing new plugins for Firefox as well. Sponsor Mozila also just released a new interface to showcase some of the top Firefox addons, which will surely bring a lot of new...

By Mike Fruchter of MichaelFruchter.com (Twitter/FriendFeed)There are hundreds of Twitter applications on the market, many of which have been covered previously on this blog, including a number of clients, such as TweetDeck and Posty. With the Twitter ecosystem continuing to grow, as evidenced by last night's post on SocialToo, I wanted to touch upon a few that I use, and that I feel are unique and useful. This post highlights fifteen different Twitter tools that I believe would be excellent additions for your Twitter toolbox.1) TwufferTwuffer is a simple, useful utility that allows you to schedule pre-written messages for posting...

Love the TwitterLocal, just found some interesting nearby people, which around here, is hard to do! - Danielle Closs
Mike is a list machine lately! Thanks for putting out these great resources. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Mike has been doing very well with his list-oriented pieces. It's something I don't usually do on my blog, so he's added a great voice to the site and I find myself reading these in my spare time and checking out the new apps or recommendations. He's a good teacher. - Louis Gray

I’ve been talking about the “next new feature” of SocialToo for awhile now. Tonight, in a partnership with Guy Kawasaki of AllTop and Garage Technology Ventures, SocialToo.com announced the release of SocialSurveys, a viral way of polling your followers in a very easy manner. Here’s how it works: You go to Socialtoo.com and register if you have not done so already - you must provide your Twitter credentials to get the most out of it (other services will be added soon) Click “Create Survey” to get started Add your question and some answers Leave “Send a URL for this...

One thing that bugs me about Twitter is that the term followers, the people who elect to see your microblogging updates, sounds like a cross between a group of zombies and a collection of cultish fanatics that you might want to keep at arm’s length. We use other terms like friend, contact, colleague, and buddy to refer to these different kinds of people who pay attention to what you do and say. Image by toprankonlinemarketing A lot of people (including both you and me?) like the idea of building up these follower numbers for several reasons. It can come across...

Five awful sites built on the Twitter APIFiled under: Fun, Internet, web 2.0 Since Twitter decided to take care of the frequent outages that used to plague its servers, I've actually started using it here and there. It's a nice service, and definitely has useful applications. You've only got to look as far as sites like NowPublic and Twubble to see how the API can be put to good use.However, there are a mountain of applications feeding off it and they're not all contenders for Best in Show. These five definitely are, but only if it's a show dedicated to sucking at Twitter API use. TwitemperatureFinally, a...

For the last few months, I've been using a service called SocialToo to transparently and automatically follow those people who choose to follow my accounts on Twitter and Identica. Rather than resort to manually deciding who to add to my list, or going to other services, such as Twitter Karma, SocialToo has been automatically synchronizing my lists. Today, the author, Jesse Stay, also a frequent contributor to this site, has rolled out a new feature aimed at making the service much more interactive and differentiated, with the launch of SocialSurveys, a viral way to quickly poll your followers on...

It seems as if we’ve been seeing a wave of various sites that rank you among other Twitter users. Like Twitterank and TwinFluence. I came across another one called Twitter Grader. It ranks your Twitter profile up against other users of Twitter, based on things like number of followers, the power of your follower network, how often you update, and your profile bio. It gives you two numbers: your overall rank and your percentage out of 100. It scored me at 99.5, and ranked me #1517 out of the 365,650 who have used the service since launch. Woo. Hoo? Not...
89, which is apparently high for Memphis. I think some higher-scoring locals use suburbs or jokes for their locations though. - Daniel J. Pritchett
100. :-) But I'm only 156 on the ranking list. I guess I don't Tweet enough. - Robert Scoble
Are you saving up your milliscobles for a big event? - Daniel J. Pritchett
Grades; this IS what makes me hate the word "social". You'll tell me that it's how real life is too. and again I won't agree... this is, in fact, how real life WAS. kings, slaves, blacks, women... - directeur
ha! I got a grade of 74 and a rank of 67,727 out of 367,076... I think I'm happy with that? - Simon T Small

94. Not sure what it means, but okay. - Tyler Hurst

All I care is that I'm higher than Louis Gray at 99.7 :-P - Jesse Stay
97.1 - I would have gotten a 100, but I keep skipping class. - (steve isaacs)
It has fluctuated between 80 and 90. - Charles LePage
78. Not doing so well I guess... - Brandon Titus
89. Is that an A-? It is bad to say that I don't really care what my rank is? - Scott Lockhart

84.. Not bad. - Haggis
8 inches. - Karl Anderson

History tends to remember only pivotal moments in time, discarding the day to day struggles. Even when the occasional diary survives, it only archives what one person does - it doesn’t track his or her interactions with others. But with social media, that information is readily available and, furthermore, that information archives how we interact with others over time. For the first time in human history, the day-to-day interactions between people are being permanently recorded and formatted in easily organizable segments of information. This has a plethora of consequences on how we record history, but here are the five big...

The Evolution Of Tribal CuriosityIn this guest post Kyle Bylin was inspired by the work of Anthropologist Elman Service and Seth Godin's video "Curious". (video after the jump below) Yesterday on Hypebot, Bruce raised the question, “What fans should artists listen and pay attention to?”  My answer is: all of them, but there's a big difference between listening and truly caring.  Be approachable, start doing something, and answer those emails.  If you are leading a tribe of followers, you have to pay attention to all of them, but the key is to empower the curious. There are many types of followers, but it's the...

Whenever I speak at an event about blogging and social media, I always like to point out how these tools are wonderful ways to let companies connect with their customers, when properly positioned.But eventually, there's always a few questions about how much traffic you can drive to your blog through SM, like what about Digg? Or Facebook? How important is it to have the right keywords targeted?Let me tell you that social sites can be a wonderful way to draw attention to your blog/site. For example, I now have about 2,300 people following me on Twitter. When I go to...

Video of the Day: Hipsters Discuss "Hipster" — Question: Is the word "hipster" so over...or is talking about the word so over? Below, a group of self-declared non-hipsters talk circles around what the word actually means. Nuggets of wisdom are offered up from promoter Todd P, author Ben Nugent, and Vice head honcho Gavin McGinnes (who notes the word has been his "bread and butter for 15 years"). Todd P says that the hipsterdom experience is: "When there's a good idea...it gets picked up fast...not to be an elitist, but really boring people start following these trends." Burn. Assuming the hipsters are the followers, no wonder everyone is...

Mac sales hold to expectations, iPods in decline — Data from the NPD Group backs up in-store checks on Mac sales, according to Piper Jaffray. The analyst group notes that October figures are up 28 percent year-over-year; this is being attributed to release of new MacBooks on October 14th, which may have satiated many Mac followers who had been waiting for an upgrade. Piper is now estimating between 2.5 and 2.7 million Macs for the whole quarter,......
