Manitou Heights utilizes Twitter to send notifications of the latest blog postings and other helpful and timely information. Social Media guru Jeremiah Owyang wrote a helpful look at Twitter in December 2007 and has posted some updates.
To get a global view of the impact of Twitter technology, take a few moment to check out Twittervision and Twittearth.
Twitter can be read on the web or by using Twitter clients such as Snitter, Twhirl, Twitterfeed and others. Besides being a communication tool, Twitter and some of the tools that utilize it allow you to:
- Follow a discussion of an event or topic.
- See how your Twitterverse is connected at TweetWheel, a visual representation of how you are connected to others on Twitter.?
- TweetLater
- Compare who you are following and who is following you on TwitterKarma
- Figure out if your followers following ratio helps you beat Twittspam on TwerpScan
- Anonymously tweet your innermost thoughts or confessions on SecretTweet.com
You can also receive and send Twitters using your mobile phone, but we suggest that you have an unlimited SMS/text package or web access before activating Twitter for your phone — as well as the time and energy to do so!
Before you get started Twittering, let us share some wise words from Shel Israel:
Advice to new tweeters. Post a few times before following others. That way we can see a bit about you before we go to your page.
To get started, I suggest first reading the Twitter Terms of Service. The, consider creating your Twitter account.
The Manitou Heights Twitterstream is currently outgoing-only and fairly minimal — aiming for an average of around than 3-5 twitters per day or less (except when we're blogging from an event, when all bets are off) — so that what we send out enhances your workday without being intrusive. Try out the Twitterstream by viewing it on the web or requesting to follow Manitou Heights at http://www.twitter.com/ManitouHeights.
If you're looking for something more Twitteractive (interactive), feel free to request to follow Ruth Marie Sylte's personal Twitterstream.
