I’ve been using PeopleBrowser for a while and have been sharing it with a few friends.
So far, it’s not been as fast and responsive as some other options.. but I think it holds a lot of promise… especially in integrating Twitter with other social media
Meanwhile, some tweeps, like @philreinhardt think it IS the best interface for Twitter. Phil posted this review on his blog comparing, compaing Twitter on the web, TweetDeck and PeopleBrowsr
I’ll be posting more on the advanced features of PeopleBrowsr, and other mulit-platform clients
What’ YOUR opinion? What freatures to you need most to be able to keep in contact with all your connections across all the social media platforms.

What if there were a way to plan your blogging and twitter post while planning your other marketing activities?
We’ve talked about TweetLater and how a good balance of live, real time tweets mixed with some scheduled tweets about your current promotion can save you time and get results.
Now you can co-ordinate these tweets with blog posts, status updates to other social media sites and your schedule for business, marketing and even your personal life.
In my consulting practice, I deal with successful authors and business people that are reluctant to blog or post to social media sites because they are concerned about the time commitment involved.
I know this is an issue for most bloggers. Most of the successful bloggers that are blogging as a part time activity use some form of schedule to get it all done. Some resort to paying an assistant to handle all the posting to make sure that posts go live at the times readers expect them.
One client writes most of his business advice posts weeks in advance. He has a strong following and great content. When I asked him how he did it with his busy schedule of speaking and consulting, he admitted that he paid a full time assistant to handle it.
By regularly posting useful original content that is helpful to readers, authors build up a following online and receive requests for interviews, business propositions and an increase in leads that are looking for more of what they see you do online.
Imagine how much money he’s saving by switching over to PostLater. When I told him how it’s only $9.95, he asked “is that per post?” The price is really so low that you’ll wonder if it’s a mistake. No, that the cost to you for as many accounts and posts as you want each month.
We are going to answer all your questions about Twitter, and share how others are using tools like Twitter (and apps) to build their network of meaningful connections, public relations, and get more done
I’ve been holding off reviewing and recommending Tweetlater becuase so many tweeps in Stage 2 use the autoresponder to try to sell me.
I’m not against auto-responders (remember “no rules”).. but annoyed at the “hey check out my blog” copy that most use.
I’ve been using TweetLater for months to send a post that I know will be timely at a time that I’m not sure where I’ll be. Sometimes the “TwitCast tonight” posts are done in advance (though often a lot less than I think I could).
I’ve been using the new feautures a lot more. I like getting my @ messages in my email inbox and assume others will like knowing that they can catch more without actually using Twitter as much as me
There is much written about auto-responders and their place in Twitter. Some people feel they are very useful, some feel that they are so un-human that it takes the Social completely out of Social Networking. Guy Kawasaki admits that he autofollows everyone on Twitter that follows him. Others send an auto-response with a link to a welcome video (an idea I quite like) but it isn’t for everyone. Some users feel it is rather like going to a mixer and having a taped message that you play to people who come up to you and say hi.
Read the full review of TweetLater here My recommendation is to use caution with any auto posting. Twitter is about connecting person to person and there is little allowance for abusing people on social media today.
But if you use automation.. there are few tools better than TweetLater.

In the top 10 words on Twitter, I noticed “TwitterRank“
Yes, once again, an site looks at your profile and give you a grade. Fun to play, not really much information to help you use Twitter better. Quoting @ryochiji, who wrote this toy, the Mashable story:
As for Twitterank’s future, it’s self-deprecating developer probably describes it best: “by tomorrow, most of Twitterdom will have forgotten about Twitterank. Thank goodness for short attention spans.”
What really matters is how you grade the time you devout to Twitter and social media. Great tools to help you connect and build meaningful connections. Use them as you wish, not for some rank.

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.

I’ve been talking to Damon P. Cortesi about his TweetStats app. Great graphs of your twitter usage, or any other user. (one of the best looking Twitter related sites I’ve seen, fun and useful)
Damon agreed to an interview for the Twitter Handbook.. here it is:
How did you get started using Twitter?
I first signed up in December of 2006 and then my account lay dormant until May of ‘07 when I got a few friends on it. We’re geographically spread out, but would share our daily activities and it was really nice to be able to keep up with my friends. When Twitter introduced the “tracking” feature, my usage skyrocketed as it much easier to find people interested in the same things I was.
What motivated you to create an TweetStat?
I was just about to post my 2000th update and was curious how I had been using Twitter over that time and who I had been talking to. A couple hours and a perl script later, I had some charts that displayed my usage. Once I posted a screenshot of that, I found that others were interested in quantifying their Twitter usage but the script I released was limited to those familiar with perl on OS X with iWork Numbers. I took the opportunity to learn Ruby on Rails and make a web service that everybody could use.
What results have you seen from twitter use (and the app)?
Twitter has expanded my social circle, introducing me to people not only in my hometown of Seattle, but also across the world. For example, I met up with a fellow Twitterite in Amsterdam when I was there for a conference. We had never met in person before, but organized via Twitter, had a couple beers and some interesting conversation. It also allows me to keep in touch with my good friends in a way I hadn’t been able to previously - I’m horrible at keeping in touch. I think TweetStats introduced me to a number of people I wouldn’t have met otherwise. Much to the chagrin of some of my followers who are close friends in real life, I then started tweeting like crazy.
What’s planned for the future. I hope to continue to provide even more useful information with TweetStats. Right now it’s a site that’s kind of fun, but is definitely lacking a definitive usefulness. While it’s great to be able to quantify your Twitter activity, I’d really love to dig into the data and provide some practical information to help people analyze their Twitter community in addition to their own activity. Unfortunately, as it’s merely a side project for me and as such, new features are generally slow to roll out.
