10 new tools to make to most out of Twi tter(http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2011/06/10-new-tools-to-make-to-most-out-of-twitter/)

(http:/ / netdna.webdesignerdepot.com/ uploads/ 2011/ 05/ thumb10.jpg) Keeping up with the ever-

evolving Twitter isnt easy.

User patterns are always changing, while the tools for tracking them are improving.

And there are hundreds of new tools to sort through that keep popping up every week.

For this post, I have compiled a list of 10 relatively new tools that I use f requently to make the most of Twitter.

What about you? Which tools do you use most and you can recommend?

Please leave us some of your recommendations in the comments area

1. TweetAl arm

Google Alerts for Tw itter. Want to see who is mentioning your name, brand or area of interest on Twitter? Then TweetAlarm

(http:/ / ww w.tweetalarm.com/ ) is your answer. Set up as many search terms as you want, and get a convenient report delivered to your

inbox.

Most useful aspect: Being able to set search terms as you s ign up saves a lot of time.

2. Buffer

Tweet w ithout flooding your fo llowers.Buffer (http:/ / bufferapp .com/) is helpful if you like to share many blog posts in a day. Throw

them at Buffer at any time, and Buffer will space them out throughout the day. You also get analytics for Buffered tweets, such as for clicks,

retweets and reach. (Full disclosure: I work for Buffer.)

Most useful aspect: You can Buffer tweets from any page with a browser extension and even in Google Reader.

3. My6Sense

This new tool is something else. My6Sense ( http:/ / ww w.my6sense.com/ ) gives you a stream of updates from your Twitter account and

other social networks, but only the items that interest you. How does it do that? By monitoring your clicking behavior and refining the stream

accordingly.

Most useful aspect: It also works well on iOS and Android, where clutter is most annoying.

4. binReminded

Tw eet reminders fo r important events. If you live in Twitter like me, then binReminded ( http:/ / binreminded.com/ ) could come in handy.

Send yourself reminders for upcoming events that you are likely to forget about. Getting that self-DM or @ reply close to the date helps a lot.

Most useful aspect: binReminded integrates with PayPal, too, allowing you to send payment reminders.

5. TwentyFeet

Full analytics for your Tw itter account. Have you wondered whether there is a Google Analytics just for Twitter? Well, look no further than

Tw entyFeet (http:/ / ww w.twen tyfeet.com/ ) . It offers a ton of interesting graphs about your followers and tweets, d isplaying and

explaining your activities on the platform.

Most useful aspect: Get reports straight to your inbox, without signing into your account.

6. ManageFlitter

Get rid of unw anted follow ers. Are you being followed by too many people who you have no connection with? With ManageFlitter

(h ttp:/ / manageflitter.com/ ) , you can unfollow everyone who doesnt follow you back or is inactive or is a loudmouth.

Most useful aspect: No need to create a new account. Just sign in with your Twitter handle, unfollow who you want, and off you go. Super-fast

and intuitive.

7. The Archi vistVisualize and store interesting tweets. Yes, I know: archiving isnt terribly exciting. But The Arch ivist (http:/ / archivist.visitmix.com/ )

makes it a little sexier. Pull in tweets o f interest, view a lot of interesting pie charts about them and stats about their origin and reach, and then

store them.

Most useful aspect: You can extract and download these beautifully visualized tweets for reports and presentations.

8. Tweriod

When are your f ollowers o nline the most? Have you ever wondered at what time of day your followers are most active on Twitter? Simple

drop you user name into Tw eriod ( http:/ / twer iod.com/) , and it gives you two helpful graphs showing you the time of day and the day of

week when you should be tweeting.

Most useful aspect: The app takes a few minutes to pull in your data and analyze it. But once its done, it conveniently sends you a DM with the

results.

9. Refynr

Unclutter your Tw itter stream. Tired of seeing tweets that dont add any value? Use Refyn r (h ttp:/ / refyn r.com/ ) to block spammy apps

and hash tags and loud users. In your Refynr stream, only the most valuable tweets show up, saving you a lot of time.

Most useful aspect: Refynr recently rolled out mobile versions of its service.(h ttp:/ / refynr.com/ )
