Brian,
Thanks for doing this article. Most of the stuff you read has to be mentally filtered to what can and can’t apply to comics and then comics and social media. This made it easy and was very informative.

Also, thanks Darren for having this article on TwiTip. The articles like these are what makes this blog unique.

Daniel – how is that going with your character tweet accounts? I need to follow them. SOunds like fun. Are you using anything to manage multiple accounts?

Hey Chris. I have tried them however Tweetlater doesn’t have the reoccurring scheduled tweets in the free account. Plus HooteSuite let’s me tweet from my browser.

I’ve tried Seesmic and I like it, although it’s still a bit behind TD. I am keeping it installed though and following the updates. My hope is it overtakes TD soon.

I loved this post. Most of everything you said could apply to anyone trying to promote their product / service on twitter. Avoid talking politics? I know I should, but… can’t…stop. Tweeteeck dominates one of my 22″ monitors. It should be called crackdeck.

Instead of HootSuite + FutureTweets combo, you should try Bit.ly + TweetLater.
And instead of TweetDeck, have you tried Seesmic Desktop. It also has Facebook integration, Multi Accounts and more importantly, unlike TweetDeck, Unlimited Grouping

Nice post, Brian.

Listen up webcomic folks, he speaks the truth.

I’ve also found that it’s been fun to set up a couple of accounts for my main characters in my comic, Beastio and Chadworth. So now, when you check out the comic, you can also see a little bit about what’s going on inside of their heads.

I didn’t know about Futuretweets!

Thanks again!

Hi Antoine, I know what you’re talking about regarding the RT sprees. I’ve been guilty myself. What I try to do now is actually tweet the comics I read from their repesctive home pages. Then throughout the day, I’ll go through my comics group and RT stuff I haven’t read yet. But yeah, I’m trying to avoid the Postal wave of RT’s.

Nikol – glad you found it helpful!
