Tvider Blog

Twitter launched a new Homepage to users on Tuesday.With the new design, Twitter is intentionally featuring more dynamic content on the front page.

The new features include a ‘See who’s here‘ section that introduces new Twitter users to some of the celebrities and brands they can find on the service. The homepage also features a set of algorithmically-selected Top tweets that automatically appear every few seconds. It also highlights a random sampling of suggested sources; hover over any of them to see a profile summary and their latest tweet.

Twitter has mentioned in their blog post that “All of our recent changes embrace the notion that Twitter is not just for status updates anymore. It’s a network where information is exchanged and consumed at a rapid clip every second of the day.”

Twitter said that they will be monitoring the data on this homepage design, and how its effects ripple out to other areas.

Twitter is taking another step to integrate with the rest of the web with a new platform called @anywhere. Operators of third-party websites will be able to plug in @anywhere to integrate some basic Twitter functionality without requiring their users to navigate away from a page.

When you visit a website that supports @anywhere, you’ll be able to follow any Twitter account associated with that site without navigating away to the profile at Twitter.com.

Rather than implementing APIs, site owners need only drop in a few lines of javascript in the website to integrate with @anywhere.

The Twitter Blog stated that the Initial participating sites will include Amazon, AdAge, Bing, Citysearch, Digg, eBay, The Huffington Post, Meebo, MSNBC.com, The New York Times, Salesforce.com, Yahoo!, and YouTube. Imagine being able to follow a New York Times journalist directly from her byline, tweet about a video without leaving YouTube, and discover new Twitter accounts while visiting the Yahoo! home page.

Future announcements regarding the platform will come from the @anywhere Twitter account.

Twitter on Thursday activated a location-tagging feature that will allow users to add their location information with the updates posted on the site.

Every day, millions of tweets are created. These little bursts of information are about anything and everything—they make Twitter a hub for discovering what’s happening right now, anywhere in the world. A recent burst of interest in location sharing applications, games, and services has many Twitter users excited about appending geographic data to some of their tweets.

Not everyone wants to add their current location to a tweet so this feature is off by default and must be activated to use.

Check out How To Tweet with Your Location to learn how you can turn it on.

People who choose to add this additional layer of context help make Twitter a richer information network – location data can make tweets more useful.

There are many ways location data can be useful when paired with tweets.

For more information on how this feature works,check out About the Tweet With Your Location Feature.

Here is a nice Slideshare on how to build a great Twitter Strategy by Diane Danielson.

Twitter is a powerful platform for increasing exposure for your brand and broadcasting your message to a growing targeted audience.

The best way to get a bigger following on Twitter is to tweet regularly and post informative, valuable tweets that people want to read.

1) Create an Attractive Twitter Profile :
Twitter is meant to be a tool to connect to people with the same interests as you. Fill out your bio. Your bio is the only place you have to tell people who you are. A good bio will give other users the context to keep in touch with you.

2) Retweeting:
Retweeting is another way to increase followers. Re-tweeting is a popular way to share a useful or interesting tweet. Re tweeting pushes your @username into foreign social graphs, resulting in clicks back to your profile

3) Twitter Lists:
Twitter List is a list of people on Twitter that are brought together under one profile so that all of the aggregated tweets can be seen in one place. By getting added to a Twitter List, your exposure, traffic, and followers on Twitter will be increased dramatically – especially as the popularity of that Twitter List that you’re part of grows.

4) Encouraging Conversation and Offering Value:
The best way to grow your number of followers on Twitter is to engage yourself as much as possible. Make sure to reply to Tweets from other accounts, and communicate with other users through the Direct Messages feature. Make tweets that encourage conversation: ask compelling questions, ask for opinions, and discuss controversial and interesting topics with other users.
Offering value is the easiest way to make people remember you. For Ex. Start a contest that offers a prize for following your account.

5) Maximize Visibility through Social Media Profiles :
Place links to your Twitter profile everywhere. Link it on Social Networking sites, blogs, email signature, and everywhere else you are online. People will follow you because they want to know you more and this can be a way to generate leads.

6) Tweet your Pictures/Videos:
Upload Videos and Photos to Twitter. Pictures and Videos are heavily retweeted.There are an array of Twitter mobile apps and Tvider is one such Twitter app which gives you the ability to tweet multimedia, on spur of the moment using mobile or computer.

7) Twitter Directories:
Add yourself to twitter directories as you will get constant followers .Add yourself in proper category, because this way you will get targeted followers.

Twitter is a great resource for web site traffic and to keep you informed about the world around you.
