9 Tools to measure your Twitter Influence & Reach !
Twitter is not always about having lot of followers. Having more followers is good, but the real fun is in getting to know more people, sharing ideas, interacting with them and basically having lots of fun. Twitter’s “Opt in” mechanism makes sure that people fall in to similar groups and interact more with similar minded folks, thanks to the “unfollow” button.
Now, if you’ve been wondering how effectively have you been communicating with your followers, here are nine cool tools that will help you find out your reach, communication effectiveness, popularity and analyze your twitter usage statistics – let’s call it Twitter Power !

I was not surprised when I saw the statistics, and it seems that Google.com is not anymore the most visited site online.
The same is happening with Twitter and Youtube as Twitter has taken 30% of the searches on Google, 30% of the people that used to search on Google now are searching on twitter search and Youtube is already the second biggest search engine.
Surprise surprise... what can we expect in the next 12 months?

How to Turn Twitter Into a Dashboard-Style Web App
I’ll show you a simple way to turn your experience on Twitter.com into one very similar to most Twitter web applications out there, such as Tweetdeck, Seesmic or Hootsuite.
Some may prefer this solution since you will have access to all of your Twitter data – your profile, your followers, your settings, your lists and searches – all in one place.
Firefox and Chrome users can turn the native Twitter website into a customizable Twitter web application that can do the following:
- Add list columns
- Add mentions column
- Collapse and expand number of columns with a single click
- Collapse right rail column
- Add search columns
- Share photos directly
- Shorten urls
- Save draft tweets to send later
- and much more…
There is only one requirement – you have to be using Firefox or Chrome. If you’re in one of those browsers, follow the following steps:
Firefox users:
1. Go to the add-on library and install monkeyfly.
2. Restart browser, go to Tools – Add-ons and enable monkeyfly if it’s not enabled already
3. Go to Twitter and use the plus sign to customize your page
or
4. Watch the 3 minute tutorial and then go to Twitter to customize your page
Chrome users:
1. Go to Google Chrome extensions and install monkeyfly
2. Go to Windows – Extensions and check that monkeyfly is enabled
3. Go to Twitter and use the plus sign to customize your page
or
4. Watch the 3 minute tutorial and then go to Twitter to customize your page
If you’re not using one of these browsers, give one a try so you can use monkeyfly.

Article Marketing
At the beginning when I heard of it I though that was a lot of time consuming and maybe not the right thing for me as a foreigner and Spanish speaker, but...
I started by doing on article and then started enjoying doing it, I impressed myself with my first articles.
How do you write so many articles about the same niche?
well in every niche there are different things to talk about, plus I learn something really good, write one long article and divide it in 3, so out of 1 you make 3, or put many ideas together and use each idea as the tittle for each article.
Put yourself a target, write 1 article a day, or as many as you think you can do, the more articles you write the easy it gets.
Why articles? because they are a very good way of generating traffic, and a good way to make you an expert in the topic, brand yourself.

How is Facebook so important
For those of you who don't already know, Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites online today. As each day goes by, more and more individuals are setting up a Facebook account in order to socialise with friends and meet or network with other people.
As far as social networking sites go, Facebook has become one of the biggest in the world. Its online community grows each and every day as many more people flock to the world of online social networking. Below you can find some of the advantages of Facebook.
Making Contacts is Easier
Unlike other social networking sites like Linkedin, where you really need to know someone before you contact them, Facebook allows you to send a message with your 'friend request'. This helps to create new contacts and make new friends online without too much trouble.
Easy Interactivity
With Facebook's respectful platform it is possible to become friends with pretty much anyone. Whether it be your colleagues, your superiors, friends of your friends or even just your friends. On top of this, it is possible to use Facebook to just say hello to someone that you haven't seen in a long time or someone you have never met.
Aesthetics
the blue and white theme of Facebook is very nice. It has a very tidy layout that is uncluttered, spacey and easy on the eye. This social networking site tends to have an addictive quality and you want to keep staring at your various pages for hours on end.
Vicarious Pleasure
one of the best parts of Facebook would have to be the newsfeed. This lets you keep tabs on everything that your friends are doing on the site. It is possible to read the messages being sent and view the applications that are being used by your friends. This allows you to keep in touch with what's happening and also makes sure that you are aware of the many applications available on Facebook. If someone uploads new pictures or change something they profile you will know immediately.
If one of your friends right on someone else's wall you'll be able to read the message in your newsfeed. This does not violate privacy as only public messages are available to be viewed by anyone. Private messages remain private.
Other Advantages
Facebook also has many other advantages. These advantages range from it being a great way to kill time, to finding long lost friends wherever they are in the world. Best of all Facebook is free to use for anyone and everyone. This is much better than some other social networking sites that charge a fee.
I would personally recommend setting up a Facebook profile and on top of this the online social networking site is still gaining popularity at a rapid rate, especially with younger people. There are approximately 10,000 new students who join Facebook every day.
