Hi While those may seem to be just sponsor messages, they are actually core to doing Twitter effectively. We'll elaborate
RT congrats to and for setting this up
So we just discuss right? Okay :)

RT you are welcome and be sure to catch the excitement
RT hello everyone, I'm here and looking forward to this chat
Twitter relationships are key and is the best tool I've ever seen for developing relationships on Twitter
Good to have you here, Sharel :)
. I find that Parent and Mom bloggers aren't represented in some twitter tools. Which tools would u recommend?
.it is a great tool - I haven't used it that much, but I can see how it can be of help.
We mention because ANYONE without experience or a huge Twitter following can get influential Twitter users to RT them
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "represented" Connie?
Actually, Connie, allows you to build the community that fits your niche, like mom blogging
Thanks pal! happy to be here, share the vibe & learn :)
hey everyone, Enstine Muki here
As mentions is a tool that highlights who is talking to you on Twitter who RTs or shares so you respond
Yes, highlights YOUR influencers, YOUR supporters, and you can track YOUR keywords in it
Woohoo! Glad to see you! And, I mean, I can see you now.
What too many have focused on is numbers instead of revelance - what you need is to reach YOUR target audience interested in YOU!
we will love to have you on borad :) it's free and really help to build relationships and save time.
Yes helps us to identify the people with whom we can build a good relationship
Very true. I poked in to the tool and said, cool. Then, I dug in and WOW!
If you haven't seen these Twitter tools before you'll have to look at them to really grasp how much they add to what we do online.
RT : What too many have focused on is numbers instead of revelance - need to reach YOUR target audience interested in U!
thanks and I'm so excited
and thanks for the info on
We also focus you on who to follow/unfollow and which important mentions you missed...
But they ARE easy to learn and we will be teaching on these regular chats how best to use them, doing videos & writing how-tos up
Have you guys thought about developing it for Facebook? I was looking for a tool for my fan page.
While Hootsuite is the leading Twitter Tool - has been for years, only highlights WHO to interact with and know online.
I started looking into last week and I can say it's an interesting platform
Does anyone have any specific questions about using Twitter, these particular tools or other tools or strategies?
helps to 1) find followers and 2) RTs You can join for free and have people RT or pay for a plan
I agree w/ ur comment focusing on relevance instead of , but an overuse of tools may make social media less personal.
.. continued helps to 1) analyze what is working and 2) build meaningful Twitter relationships They work hand-in-hand
That is what fixed - it alllows us to know who to interact with and not let relationships fall by the wayside
What about more than one account, do you recommend just one Twitter ID?
hadn't seen before - thanks
How many times have we failed to see tweets about us or someone reaching out asking for more information?
allows you to pay for a plan-so that you are paying for RT's? Why would you want to do that?
Another tool I would like to share is InboxQ (allows us to keep track of questions asked by twitter users on specific keywords).
RT : helps to 1) find followers and 2) RTs You can join for free and have people RT or pay for a pln
What do all think about Klout? (louded question)
Important to vet tools, then use most relevant that don't usurp relationship mgmt. :)
Or to thank those who support our efforts or not interacting on Twitter w influencers? I know I'm guilty of that one!
I think t is hard to manage more than one account (effectively), Brian, don't you think?
Never, because I always check my and by using the search feature.
You don't have to pay for Those with more time than money can earn credits to use for their own promotions
Excellent point, ! "an overuse of tools.. less personal" I enjoy the personal and helps me identify that.
Ah, Klout! I don't like it. But, I check it sometimes.
While those who have more money than time can buy credits inexpensively. IF what they do is of value get RTs from others
on , you actually don't pay for retweets. It's an option to buy credits.
We will love to have you with us :)
Speaking from experience. Major challenge to manage more than one account! Very true!
I agree, my other accounts sit and collect dust for the most part.
I think peerindex is a much better indicator of Twitter - but, we shouldn't worry much about that (the numbers).
What I use for most is to manage multiple Twitter accounts smoothly, Jeevan, w/o logging in & out
same here. I question its accuracy
was interesting experiment. I used it a lot at first but arbitrariness of metrics ran me away.
When I first started w/Twitter, I'd stare at the screen and say, "I want to share" but who? what? changed that.
:) Thanks. Will surely check it out.
I prefer because it is less volatile than and because it shows TWO metrics - not only one.
I had created extra one in the past (this one is brand oriented, I wanted one with my personal name)
With I can log in & see my friends & see what they r promoting & help them out. That is how I use it relationally.
April realized that her Klout went WAY UP because she plays games on Facebook that can't be seen except by members there!
lol "interesting experiment" RT : was interesting experiment. I used it a lot at first but..
If I chat with someone with a very high Klout mine skyrockets and then drops like a rock when I stop. It is a FAME meter.
, I'd like to offer free credits to everyone here on board
RT : on , you actually dont pay for retweets. Its an option to buy credits.
Wow - a fame meter. Anyone else experience something similar?
RT : We also focus you on who to follow/unfollow + important mentions you missed...
lol have those, too RT : I agree, my other accounts sit and collect dust for the most part.
While I also use Twitter search for GrowMap & my What does is show you how MANY interactions
I was a member, but found myself retweeting non-niche tweets. It felt impersonal. Any advice?
RT : , Id like to offer free credits to everyone here on board << Thanks!
You can see in that a user RTed you X times, responded to you Y times & it highlights supporters, influencers
Thank U so much for sharing :) this kind of value to make relationship personal is passion :)
Agree, Klout is indeed a fame meter. Only thing I got from Klout? Well, a perk (a hair gel) and some ego boost!
The plan is to make tweets findable by category so yu can more easily build community & find relevance
"fame meter" haha Yep, that sums it up nicely - Numerous posts last year attest
RT : , Id like to offer free credits to everyone here on board ~ Enstine is GENEROUS
we have updated . You can now sort by category/keyword to locate targeted contents
Also, allows you to see, right away, who u have not responded to, helping u to build relationship
