Last month during the 1st TwitCast, we talked about “What’s the use of Twitter?” Including the following topics/conversations:
What is Twitter
What are Hashtags
How to use Summize.com
How Twemes.com can be used
Is Twitter really “more than just chat”?
Can Twitter really useful for business?
& so much more as the community got involved
We had such great participation from the Twitterverse, which made the 1st ever TwitCast a huge success!
Adam Des Autels & Roger Bauer took it to the next level, as Adam helped to reply back to questions and comments as he tracked the conversation on Twemes & then Roger created a great video after it was over explaining the apps we talked about so that you, the Twitter user could make use of the services for your business or personal use on Twitter.
Warren & I (CoachDeb) have a solid belief about the Twitter Handbook. And that is:
The community involvement is what will make the Twitter Handbook a far better published book than if he and I were to sit down and start typing on our own.
Ever since we each joined Twitter - we’ve both learned everything about Twitter - by using it and interacting with the community filled with brilliant minds and wonderful souls - all willing and eager to participate and help one another out - either in sharing the best resources, or by teaching one another whatever they need to know.
This week - we come together again - to talk about Twitter, what it is, and what types of Twitter apps there are that you can start using to enhance your Twitter experience.
We’ll be meeting slightly later than last time in order to accommodate those requests from the West Coast, and down under who couldn’t join us to participate.
Join us if you can participate LIVE! Here are the details of this Blog Talk Radio Show:
Friday June 13, 2008
5pm HI / 8pm PT / 11pm ET
Call (646) 378-1641
Topic: Twitter Applications (AKA: “Twitter Apps”)
What’s YOUR Favoriate App?
REMEMBER - whether you can join us LIVE or not - be sure to: Add your favorite app in the comment box below so we can see which apps are most popular - and perhaps learn about new apps that the community is using and loving so others may learn how to enhance their Twitter experience.
Here’s a recap of how to use Hashtags & twemes which will be important once we begin the conversation announcing the hashtag we’ll use for this chapter of the Twitter Handbook.
Thank you Roger Bauer for creating a great video recap of the TwitCast held last month.

If you have a lot of friends you are following, you might have thought that there is no way to keep up with them all.
Here’s some ideas I’m using to follow thousands
1) Skim a lot. As a Twitter addict I must admit that I spend a lot of time looking through the feed. When I’m looking for new ideas, or trying to get a feel for what’s happening on a broad scale, I focus on tweets that don’t start with an @. Other times, the @ conversations lead to some of the most interesting people I follow
2) Use an aggregater. Some of my meat-space friends (and family) expect me to find and read every tweet they post. I create a link to catch there tweets daily at TwitterDigest This will allow you to get an RSS feed of a user or users conversations, or display a web page of the last days tweets. Here’s the latest from me
3) Use the profile page for the person you are following. I have a link to @coachDeb hooked to a button on the links bar of my browser. In an instant, I can see what she’s up to, and try to keep up with the many conversations she has going.
4) Instant Messaging. My IM client is always open to Twitter. Any mention of "Twitter Handbook" is displayed there. I can easily reply if needed.. and know when there is a lot of activity on that phrase. It also allows me to see DM’s before my Twhirl client gets updated.
As more and more people discover Twitter, and many more uses for the technology, we’ll have more data flowing to us. Tools are being developed to filter, extract and condense the information (who would’;ve thought.. 140 characters is too much? <grin>).
There’s not much chance of less data. So your choice is to ignore it, or try these methods to keep from spending all day trying to keep up.
What’s you favorite Twitter Time Saver?
Post a comment here.. so we can quote you in the Twitter Handbook. (be sure to include you @name and real name)

@coachDeb and I both reached 1500 followers this evening. And we did it in a creative, game-playing, contest promotion way that brought about much debate, dialouge and kudos all at the same time. Overall - it brought a LOT of other people not only followers as well - but solid connections made as a result.
Some thought we were in a competition, perhaps the prizes that @coachDeb gave away made that an easy assumption to make. Others got the notion that we just want to add followers that we won’t pay attention to.
Actually, we have had a lot of fun adding people to the list that we FOLLOW. Not just to get more followers in return (though that’s nice too). We know that following, reading posts, linking out to the blog or home page and engaging in conversation will bring the real benefit.
One friend @AdamDesAutels got into the spirit of the game and commented on how everyone benefits from being social on a social network. Adam created a Twitter Video about this “cocktail party on steroids” as one Follower called tonight’s fun game.
Enjoy his video - and be sure to follow him on Twitter - since he’s shown that he really “gets” what Twitter is all about - making REAL connections online.
Then comment below on what YOU think is the best way to attract followers to connect with them.

The illusion that companies can control us is disappearing. Mass production, distribution and media homogenized us in the 20th Century, allowing us to have the means to exercise our power to choose and segment the market.
That’s my view.. what’s yours?
Should there be rules and SOP and governing bodies for what you “should do”
A section in Twitter Handbook will quote Twitter users (the real rulers).
Post your tweet or Twinterview (140 words or less)
I’ll ask (but never assume I can set the rules) that you NOT respond to my ideas.. rather, state your case about the idea of rules and policing the Twitterverse here.
Thanks for your input.
