100 great Twitter tools
Kelly Sonora from Online Best Colleges just sent me her post titled: 100 Twitter Tools to Help You Achieve All Your Goals.
There are many tools here that I never heard of and will be testing them throughout the week.
If you are still coy about Twitter, think again. Where else can you broadcast your message to an entire world for free?
There are conversations going on right now about you, your marketplace, your industry and life in general that you could be a part of. Many of the tools listed above can keep you connected easily with little intrusion.
Twitter is open 24/7. It's an online rave. The ecstasy you ingest and the high that ensues come from the connections you are bound to make that will lead to opportunities you would never, ever, create otherwise.
Unlike blogging, little time is needed to get something out of Twitter. Personally, I invest no more than thirty minutes a day. What I accomplish would have, in the old days... been impossible.

While it's true you can "broadcast to the world" many don't seem to realize that typically, the only part of the world that will see it is the part that is following you.
Building a community is a critical step.
Cheers.

Great points Dave.
Marc, I would caution newbies from starting off doing too much broadcasting. If you broadcast even 50% of the time, you will loose your 10 followers quicker than you can say "Kevin Tomlinson is the King of Miami Beach".
Two great resources are @nik_nik s new ebook (free) which you can get over at www.mytechopinion.com
and of course www.twitip.com which is everything twitter.

Good post. Twitter is the perfect little thought broadcast tool. I tried to stay away but it sucked me right in.

Cool. And like the advice posted above, be smart and targeted about your posts. Make each one count.

@DaveChomitz - True that building a community is crucial. But there is no other service out on the web today, that you can build it as quick.
I was hesitant for a couple of months about Twitter, but when I saw how it had extended to the real estate community @Rebarcamp Seattle, I jumped on board. Even bought the book Twitter Power by Joel Comm.
@Marc Davison, thanks for the post.
Cheers.
