Twitter tools – Wednesday 29 April
WHO are Twitter’s top brass?
Today we’re tracking the top Twitter Users with Twitterholic, Toptweet and Twitrank. Why? Because there’s a reason they are the top brass – they are very interesting. And if they RT anything you say, you’ll get gazillions visitors to your site or blog. More importantly, you’ll get Twitter kudos.
Twitterholic
Robots scan the Twitter public timeline for new twits to tweet. A few times a day, they calculate individual statistics for each twittering twit in their database.
This list is being constantly updated so you can find out who the most popular twitter users are almost in real-time. To be seen on the site, do what you love to do – twitter constantly. If you deserve to be on the list, they’ll find you. The most popular users on twitter are crawled every day, everyone else gets crawled randomly. You can also tweet the top 100, 200, 300 to your friends.
Twitterblogger rating: 7/10 (I do like it – a bit elitist but at least I’m there!)
TopTweet lets you stay up to date on all the best conversationalists from around the web. Tired of trying to explain Twitter to your less enlightened friends? Don’t have a Twitter account yet? You’ll only find the cream of Twitter users on this site – a cross-section of personalities to get you hooked!
Twitterblogger rating: 8/10 (they are right – it is the cream of the crop)
Twit Rank by Twittown is a list of the top 150 Twitterers. Select to sort by followers, followed, number of updates or following (the number of people that user is following).
Twitterblogger rating: 6/10 (does what it says on the tin!)
Yesterday we looked at what’s hot and what’s not right now on Twitter. Tomorrow, it’s all about tracking keywords. Want to be the first to know when it’s live? Follow me on Twitter and I’ll tweet as soon as I post it.
Take care, have a great Tuesday!
