First Six Stops on the BulletBlocker Twitter Tour!

Alrighty then, the first stop in the Twitter Tour is to check out what Mark Shaw is doing, he's a friendly English guy who also happens to be quite active with Ecademy.com. Mark's produced his own Twitter for Business E-Book which is a free download. It's a 19 page book for first time users that guides you through setting up a Twitter account, how to use it, how not to use it, and a number of high profile users you can immediately start to follow to learn more about Twitter and Social Networking for business.

That list of people to follow is worth a million times its weight in gold, free - yet massive corporations spend millions of dollars in sales and marketing seminars every year. By following these guys and gals, you are always able to tap into quick tips and complete e-books, and brilliant ideas regardless what you are doing. So, I just went in and added about 15 people who I will be following on Twitter. Obviously, you won't be watching everyone all of the time, you don't need, too - you can do it as you see something of interest. As we learn more, we'll be able to home in on the precise things we want to learn more about, "Now". Blogging is not always easy, but it goes hand in hand with Twitter, so the first thing that attracted my attention was Chris Brogan's 23 Essential Elements of Sharable Blog Posts. You can always risk sticking with what you know, but the world will evolve around you - and leave you in the dust.

The next thing in Mark Shaw's free e-book is a list of 26 third party Twitter Apps. 26? We're going to pick five, because there's plenty of overlap. On Twitter, a keyword search is not very useful without a third party app, so we're going to look at TweepSearch.com. Another thing you can't do without an app, is find people by profession or location, so we will also look at Twellow.com. As I mentioned yesterday, I also downloaded TweetDeck.com which helps you to better manage your... Tweeting. Another good one is FriendOrFollow.com and TweetStats.com. Ultimately, I will probably look at all 26 of these. A tool is a tool... and most auto mechanics have more than a screwdriver and a hammer in their shop. Not sure what they use a hammer for... but I'm certain it does get used.

So, I'm going to go do that and provide a quick recap at the end of the day of how each of these work...
