TWEETDECK

START TWEETING LIKE A PRO

SPREAD YOUR LINKS WITH BUFFER

Buffer bills itself as a smarter way to share links to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

It schedules posts over a day or week and sends them at a time to suit you.

This means you send links over a few hours rather than all at once. You can then concentrate on engaging with people rather than composing links.

It also give you lots of analytics and intergration (you can post direct from Google and Safari)

Tweetreach allows you to find out how far your tweet has travelled , who is talking about it and how many people saw it.

Use Tweetreach to analyse Twitter activity about your hashtag or URL and get social analytics on reach , exposure and contributors.

Haiku Deck (which you are looking at right now!) is a really easy to use way of putting together brief messages or presentations.

The philosophy is:

FOLLOW @MAGICRECS

GET PERSONALISED TWITTER RECOMMENDATIONS
Magic Recs is an experimental Twitter account that sends the user direct message recommendations based on the activity of people you already follow.

So if , for example, you follow@shirleyayres and @paulbromford and we both follow someone new - you are likely to get told about it!

This is a great way to find out about new and interesting accounts.

Magic Recs is also currently testing alerts based on popular hashtag activity

STATUS PEOPLE

CHECK HOW MANY FAKE FOLLOWERS YOU HAVE (AND CHECK ON OTHERS!!)
Status People allows you to check how many of your Twitter followers are real and also see how many are inactive.

It allows you view anyone's profile so if you're wondering whether people with thousands of followers are fakers - here's the place to find out!!

TWEEPI

FLUSH YOUR INACTIVE FOLLOWERS!
Tweepi is an excellent tool if you want to manage your social graph.

It gives you a list of all the users you follow who don't follow you back - with stats about each.

Although we don't subscribe to Tweepi's message "teach people who have unfollowed you a lesson" - it's a smart and effective tool.

We'd advise not to publish that you've unfollowed people. Choosing to follow someone or not is a personal decision and best kept to yourself!
