On 02/09/2010, In twitter apps, By Brian

Twitter is one of the most prominent social networking sites and continues to be widely used by bloggers, business owners, celebrities, techies, social networkers and just about anyone who has an internet connection and an excuse to use it these days. While so many have Twitter accounts, few know how effective their Twitter activity is.

My focus today is on providing you three excellent tools that will show you how often you’re tweeting, who you retweet the most, your twitter rank and score and ways you can improve your Twitter experience.

TweetStats – Twitter analytics is a tool to graph your Twitter stats. The different graphs consist of your Tweet Timeline, average tweets per day, replies, who you retweeted and much more information and statistics. Below you’ll find my @EazyCheezy TweetStats.

Twitter Grader – Twitter Grader is a very interesting tool. It calculates your rank, number of followers and individuals you are following and updates. You get a Grade out of 100. My Grade for @EazyCheezy is 97.4, not bad. :) You’ll also be able to see your tagcloud and garph your trends.

Twitalyzer 2.0 – Twitalyzer is great for businesses and users who are looking to improve their Twitter use. It’s also the closest Twitter tool I’ve found to Google Analytics. From your dashboard, you can get detailed information such as number of clicks for links you Tweet, context, goals, detailed recommendations, referrers and much more. From the main page, you can see scores in areas such as engagement, influence, generosity, clout, retweeted, referenced and many more categories.

Five Slick Twitter Desktop Apps to Organize Your Tweeps

On 01/26/2010, In twitter apps, By Brian

Does any Twitter user actually still use Twitter.com these days? While Twitter.com is simple and effective, the available desktop and mobile applications blow Twitter.com away in functionality and design. Applications such as TweetDeck, Seesmic and Destroy Twitter give you multiple pages so you can see all the information you prefer on one screen. Below, you’ll find what I believe is the 5 absolute greatest Twitter Desktop Applications.

TweetDeck

TweetDeck is like being behind a mission control panel. It integrates Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace and lets you update your status with one post. You can reply, forward, retweet and have just about all the same functionality within TweetDeck. You can create as many custom pages you want to stay organized and up to date.

Tweetie for MAC

Tweetie for Mac lets you double click on Tweets to see full conversations, open multiple compose windows at once, browse the current trends, display direct messages as chat, view in-depth user detail (including entire threaded conversations), add custom searches and much more. You can use the free version with ads or register ad-free for $19.95.

Twitterrific for Mac

Twitterrific uses a clean interface and is designed to take up a minimum of real estate on your Mac’s desktop.

Seesmic Desktop

Seesmic Desktop gives you Facebook and Twitter on your desktop, post comments, likes and much more. You can follow your friends, update your profile, etc. This application is a bit like TweetDeck with some differences in design.

Destroy Twitter

Destroy Twitter is a compact Twitter application built to run on Mac, Windows, and Linux using Adobe AIR. Like TweetDeck  and Seesmic, it consists of a series of pages that constantly update to keep tweets up-to-date using notifications. Destroy Twitter uses a minimal amount of memory without sacrificing functionality and performance.

My favorite Twitter Desktop Application is currently TweetDeck. I use it on my desktop and iPod Touch. It does everything I could ask a Twitter Application to do. Another secondary application I use is Destroy Twitter. I enjoy it’s simplicity. Do you have any favorites? Let me know what you think.

3 Sexy WP Plugins – Drag to Share eXtended, YARPP and Digg Digg

On 01/18/2010, In wordpress plugins, By Brian

Since migrating the site from Blogger to WordPress a little over a year ago, my favorite thing about WordPress has been Plugins. There’s a plugin for just about everything, but sometimes the best plugins are a little tougher to find in the Plugin Directory of 8002 WP Plugins. I recently installed WordPress Drag to Share eXtended and loved it so much that it prompted me to share a few of my favorites. Let’s take a closer look.

WordPress Drag to Share eXtended

Easily the plugin I’m most excited about! This plugin uses the same functionality found in TechCrunch and Mashable. It works by allowing readers to drag any image on your post and drop it into a social networking site of their choice. You can select which social networks to use, which include Delicious, Digg, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Reddit, StumbledUpon, Technorati and Twitter. Other options include text to display while dragging and display location of icons.

Yet Another Related Posts Plugin (YARPP)

I recently switched from Possibly Related Posts to YARPP and couldn’t be happier. This plugin will give your readers more relevant content and increase page views and popularity of older content. YARPP gives you a list of posts and pages related to your current post. The algorithm is based on post titles, content, tags and categories used. In addition to displaying the related posts, YARPP calculates a match score beside each related post. You can display the related posts in blog posts, RSS feeds or both. The templating system gives you quite a few options to customize what’s displayed.

Digg Digg

Don’t let the name full you, Digg Digg gives you much more than just Digg buttons. It features the best fbShare button I could find. This plugin gives your readers vote buttons to simplify sharing for your readers. It integrates social network, which include Digg, Reddit, Dzone, Yahoo Buzz, TweetMeme (Twitter), fbShare (Facebook) and Polladium buttons. You can choose either normal size or compact buttons, select only those buttons you want to display and the location.
