Yes, I’m on Twitter. I’ve been there for a few years now, and have a bajillion or so followers. I think I’ve now tweeted out around 10,000 different things. Not too shabby, eh? I’m assuming you’re on Twitter, since it seems most everyone is. But do you know who else in your city or area is also running around on Twitter? Do you know how to find them and see what they’re talking about?

It seems that everyone has a Twitter account these days. If you have one, you may want to pay attention to this resource – especially if you have your own web site. Chances are, you’d like to get feedback from the people who visit your site. However, that can be quite difficult at times. The same team who created our new contest page created this new application that can help you get feedback for your site via Twitter!

Word on the street is that Best Buy is now requiring applicants to not only be on Twitter – but to have at least 250 followers, as well. When I read this, my mouth hit the floor. In effect, the company thinks that hiring people with a large Twitter following will garner more business for them. How ludicrous is this? It’s not up to an employee to send out tweets and bring in business to a company like Best Buy. For one thing, what if a person chooses not to have that many followers? Not everyone is on Twitter to see if they can win the race for having the most followers. Some people actually use it only to follow interesting people and entities themselves, not caring whether others follow them back. Some of those same people never even update their own timeline. They choose, instead, to simply use Twitter to read the latest news, and keep up with what’s hot in the marketplace.
During my travels around our community today, I came across an interesting post on Lockergnome. The author discusses how he signed up for Twitter in order to attempt to figure out the hype. At one point, he states that:

Each week, we do a contest on our new(ish) Contests page. We’ve sadly put them on the back burner recently, due to working so hard on other projects. The good news for you all is that we’re reviving the contests, and having a great time with them! If you have ideas for future Twitter contests, or are a company interested in donating prizes, drop me a line!

Chess is a game of strategy, which is a reason you’ll never find me playing it. I’m more of a Checkers guy – and I suck at that, too. If you’re into Chess – and you use Twitter – you’ll love this new service I’ve found! ChessTweets is the newest type of correspondence chess. ChessTweets uses the Twitter API to send your chess moves remotely, allowing you to play against someone who is located a million miles away! You can use any of the Twitter clients to play, such as TweetDeck and Twhirl.
TweetDeck is now on the iPhone. That’s right – the reversed-palate, desktop-hogging application has now gone mobile, releasing its first iPhone version today. The TweetDeck community fervently downloaded it and spread the exciting news that they have been waiting for since the idea was mentioned last summer. Some of you might have tried the desktop app in the past and moved on for whatever reason. You might want to take a second look and see what both the desktop and the iPhone applications now have to offer.

Twitter may not be for you, and that’s ok. It’s for me, that’s for sure! Even if you don’t want to “be” on Twitter, you can still take advantage of the information that’s flying around. You can surface extremely relevant information related to links that are shared. All you have to do is check out Topsy!

Yes, that really was a tweet you saw on my screen. Each of the tweets had one thing in common – my last name. I had fun watching them assemble themselves on my screen.

I had the great fortune of sitting down with the guy from Twitter Road Trip recently. We had a great time, as you’ll see in the video, and covered many interesting topics. Even Wicket and Pixie got into things with us!

Are you following me on Twitter? It’s no secret I’m very active there. Have you thought about creating your own Twitter-like environment for a target group of people? That’s easier than ever to do now. Instead of having to code your own site, just use Shout’Em to roll your own microblogging community!

I was surfing my Twitter feeds this morning, and happened upon someone asking how could they attach a Word document to a tweet. They were actually serious! I decided to re-tweet it, in a joking manner. However, I learned something new instead. Apparently, it’s possible to attach files to a tweet… sort of. But if the day ever comes when people literally attach Word documents to them – I’m done!

I have a new Twitter background. It’s awesome, but I can’t take credit for it. I’m not the one who made it. Not everyone out there is a great graphic designer, or would know how to create their own background. How do you create a custom Twitter background then?

I’m monitoring one simple keyword that I’m quite attached to – my last name. This isn’t being done by any kind of software you have to install. It’s being done by a web site that allows me to choose keywords to monitor on Twitter. Monitter is a Twitter monitor, it lets you “monitter” the Twitter world for a set of keywords and watch what people are saying. Cool huh?
