I’d like to include ‘Twitter news’ here on TwiTip and so thought that the best way to do it was Twitter style in 140 characters or less. Speed Tweets will contain news, links to Twitter related posts and the odd Twitter tool.
Here’s our first edition of Speed Tweeting.
- RWW reports that Twitter has added a groups functionality to their Japanese partner service Twicco. Lets hope we see it on Twitter soon too.
- Pistachio Consulting have released a research report on microsharing applications for businesses.
- TweetBeep is a Twitter Alerts tool that notifies you via email when words you’re watching are tweeted. Think Google Alerts for Twitter.
- CNET speculates about how Twitter will make money through Corporate Accounts.
- The Twitter blog reflects upon the election day and night, activity, signups, messages and more were all up.
- Wired reports on Twitter’s Stickiness.
Seems like business tweeting is going to be the Twitter business model of choice, which is good since that will leave personal accounts free from excessive advertising/cost. I hope they make it work, because a nice influx of cash would help them keep the Fail Whale at bay, and keep the developments flowing.

It’s always good to see twitter in the news. I can’t wait until twitter is as popular as text messaging is for communication now.
I’m sure most people reading this blog are well aware of the tools available, but just in case:
1. TweetDeck to track it all with ease.
2. Qwitter to track those who have stopped following you.
3. Twitter Tools for Wordpress – syndicate your blog post to twitter (with tinyurl support).
4. Tweetscan for tracking brand reputation.
5. TwitterVision – not that useful, but pretty cool. Watch realtime tweets by World location.

Just wait until the news stations get their hands on Twitter. I can just imagine Sean Hannity Chris Matthews looking at what the latest “Tweets” were about the issues on which they’re reporting.
Ugh, after seeing the hologram crap on CNN this week, only one word comes to mind regarding media and its abuse of cool stuff: FAIL.
Another interesting tool:
Twuffer to schedule tweets.
While we wait for groups functionality that was released in Japan, a friend of mine, Mike Langford, just released TweetWorks this past Tuesday. TweetWorks is a groups platform using threaded conversations which are then posted to Twitter (if you choose) with a link. It’s built using Twitter’s API. It’s pretty cool for anyone wanting to check out a group concept: http://www.tweetworks.com

Life its sort and it copuld fit in 140 characters, hard thing.
Thanks for the intro to TweetBeep; I’ll check it out to see if it’s as useful as what I use now: any search of a term (brand, industry, name, etc.) in Search.Twitter offers me the option of building an RSS feed into my reader for it. So I get all tweets to and from or even mentioning me (@TheGirlPie), along with favorites I track, my industry competitors (too few), industry brands and terms, etc. Even a past employer! A great way to ‘listen’ but not have the constant flow to me email inbox. It’s just in a folder called Tweets in my beloved google feed reader.
And thanks to @Arif (for naming those I use and recommend) and to @Stefan for suggesting one I don’t know (there’s another tool that skeds tweets, too, TweetLater — but I don’t use it.
I’m adding this interesting blog to my twitter folder/feed reader now, thanks~!

“TweetBeep is a Twitter Alerts tool that notifies you via email when words you’re watching are tweeted. Think Google Alerts for Twitter.”
TweetBeep is the only way I keep track of conversations and reply. I set up a Beep for my username and keywords that interest me. I am starting to like Twitter now.
It is the SMS of the Internet.
