I'm new to Twitter - not sure what to make of it - but this post helped me get there!
Okay, I've now accumulated 6 new COOL Twitter tools that I just HAD to share with you
(if you're on Twitter, that is!).
1. http://twitter.com/MrTweet - Who should you follow? This great service analyzes your profile and the folks you are following, and recommends new people for you to follow. It's excellent!
2. http://friendorfollow.com - Who's NOT following you? This brand NEW service shows you ALL the people you are following, who are NOT following you back. So you can send them each a "tweet" asking that they follow you back. "I'm following you on Twitter, please follow me back!"
3. http://twitter.com/grader - This service analyzes your usage and tweets you back with a "grade". For instance, 79/100.
4. http://tweetshrink.com to help you shorten your TWEETS to fit into the 140 character box!
5. http://www.tweetdeck.com is a software that you download. It allows you to see all of your DMs (Direct Messages) and replies very easily. Otherwise, your messages can get "lost". I'm surprised how many messages I wasn't getting until I started using Tweet Deck.
6. http://tweetchat.com This is a "place" where everyone can communicate about 1 specific topic. When you see the "#" in a Tweet, go to Tweet Chat and enter the "#___" and you will see all those messages. For example, #Chargers is for San Diego Chargers fans; #blck is a Black culture site; #happy09 is a place for positive messages.
I'm @GoldenPen if you want to follow me... I promise to follow you back!

Hey, "Long Island", thanks for re-blogging my article. I just started with Twitter, it's fun and simple. You can reach a lot of folks easily but don't try to do agressive selling. Just get out there and starting "meeting" folks, build your following.
