In order to find an effective and efficient way to use Twitter, here are 10 tips that may be useful for any Twitter user. Whether you’re new to Twitter or an experienced Twitter user these tips can help you get more results.
In today’s mobile world it’s easy to stay up to date with Twitter. With so many available applications to choose from such as: Tweetdeck or Hootsuite, and others can enhance the experience of Twitter.
You should rotate where you place a link. Sometimes you should place it before the message which causes the user to see the link and then the message. This may increase the readers curiosity. At other times you can place the link in the middle of the message. It is a good idea to alternate the structure of your “tweet” so they do not all look alike.
Example:
Tweets that are less than 120 character make it easier for others to “Re-tweet” and pass the information along.
As the number of contacts you have grow, it becomes more and more difficult to read through all of your messages. Having lists allow you to better control the flow of messages and interaction with other users.
A “hashtag” is a keyword which is placed with a number sign (#) in front. This allows the Twitter platform to easily find users that have used that keyword in their tweets.
Twitter provides a generic background designs for its users, however, you have the ability to create your own background. This is very useful if your a business because it allows you to make your presence in Twitter stand out. Your background imagine can be as simple as just your logo, but I recommend having key features of your business on that background.
Be sure to keep up to date photo of you and information describing your interests. Creativity is always welcome.
This will help to direct followers or visitors to your blog, or anywhere they can find more information from you. I always recommend to include your blog or website.
Twitter is a channel of communication whose purpose is to share information. Be sure to share and pass on information shared by others. If you only share what you create you miss the opportunity to create new relationships. Many users choose to stop following users when messages are often personal propaganda only.
Many people receive private messages which may have malicious code that can take over your account. Once you see suspicious activity call the Twitter security team they will show you how to precede.
These are 10 tips and tricks on how to use Twitter. If you have some tips for Twitter users post in the comments below.

The reason we want to use tools like Twitter, Facebook, and Google Plus is to allow us to share our ideas in a public forum. We all want our content to be seen and some we care more about this than others.
A question I have heard many times is what time it is more practical to send a ”Tweet”. On the question seems simple, has a high degree of complexity to only answer in a sentence. There are several factors that can be used to understand what time it is more favorable to publish something. Or at what point is more likely to be seen.
Use tools to measure and view statistics on how many people oppressed shared links. There acortadotes address cyber and tools such as bit.ly Hootsuite for reviewing reports on how the ecosystem reacted Twitter to link you shared.
This way you can make an estimate of when it would be more favorable share something important, because you know beforehand the time is more likely that his followers see it.
You can also try using tools such as Tweetwhen. This tool checks your last 1,000 tweets and reports the time it has received more “Retweets” (A “Retweet” in English is when a user takes on Twitter content and shares it with his followers).
There are several tools that are able to improve the efficiency of how we communicate and interact on Twitter. But my advice to maintain a balance is determined by the time most convenient for you to share any information.
Make sure you project your personality through social profiles. It can be the difference for creating healthy relationships.
As I was browsing Slideshare today, I came acroos this neat presentation (above) by @danzarella. It analyzes the best time for you to engage on twitter based on his experience.
The neat part of the presentation is the tool. tweetwhen.com analyzes your Retweets. The application goes back 1,000 tweets and tells you at what time your posts have the most RT’s.
We analyzed @cimapr’s account and it demonstrated that the most RT’s were at 9am on Mondays. This is a good statistic to keep in mind when writing posts or imparting pertinent information for potential clients to read.
Like every tool, I recommend you use it with other sets of data and with full understanding of what needs to be accomplished. If you have any questions on these or any other tool feel free to contact us.
We are great fans of twitter and we are always looking for ways to explain and facilitate how we see twitter.

The Hashtag is one of the most useful Tools Twitter has given many of us. It is also where many new twitter users have many questions the hashtags use and purpose.
For those of you who are not familiar with the hashtag term on twitter it is a word or united phrase that starts with the # Symbol.
During the next few blog posts I will try to cover #hashtags from my perspective.
I am going to start by sharing the 3 main uses of the hashtag! If I missed a main use of hashtags or any other feel free to add them in the comments area.
Organizing
It is easier to find a topic in a search when the # symbol is attached. Attaching it also increases the probability of having it appear on Twitter Trends. The Hashtag also creates a link to Twitter Search. In general it can allow you to group people talking on a subject via Twiter. A good example is when conducting a chat with various people a chat where I try to join when I have the time is the #hprchat & #Latism chats. You meet great people and they talk about many subjects.
Spreading Information
If you need share information of current or future events like conferences, emergencies, seminars, or a sale a hashtag should help you in creating interest about the same subject. During the Chile Earthquake I was able to convey information from Puerto Rico to various regions of Chile. We made such great progress our blog on Twitter use @twitpuerto was featured by @foxnews as a reliable source.
In the following posts I will go into more detail on how to use hashtags for Business events. I also think that @chrismessina credited with starting hashtags wrote an awesome guide on how to use Twitter hashtags for emergency coordination and disaster relief.
Monitoring
I use hashtags the most for monitoring and keeping up to date on some of the efforts I collaborate in. One of the most use hashtags is the #Followfriday ( I mainly track this hashtag on Fridays since I am part of the Followfriday.com Moderators). It can be a useful hashtag if used right.
I also stay up to date with the hashtag #Latism since it has provided me with great information and a huge community of contacts outside of Puerto Rico with similar interests to mine.
One of the most interesting and fun hashtags I discovered (thanks to my Twitter Friend @karimacatherine) and have used frequently is #USGUYS . If you use #USGUYS at any moment a few individuals like me will probably answer back and little by little people continue to join into the conversation. As a matter of fact use the #USGUYS right now and probability is someone will answer back.
I will cover how I use hashtags for business and personal reasons (which in my case are the same) in the next following posts.

6 recommendations to Unleash the Power Of FollowFridayIf you are just starting on twitter who should you start following? I think everyone new on twitter runs into the same situation. How about if you are a business how do you gain followers?
In my opinion I see the benefit of growing your followers organically. I have seen many companies with new presence on twitter spamming and following as many people on twitter as they can get a hand on. Personally I think they should really focus on earning followers (without spamming), establishing relationships, and keeping those followers.
On twitter I have been a huge advocate for #FollowFriday and the Spanish version of #VivaViernes. The #FollowFriday hashtag was initially created and suggested by @micah on twitter. As you can see the first #FollowFriday Tweet below.
For individuals it is a great way to share top people to follow on Twitter. It also gives you the chance to find recommendations from friends who they think deserve your attention. If you actually take those benefits and transfer them to a business account I see many advantages.
Getting back to actually maintaining your users by using #FollowFriday we recommend:
Overall search for the best option of the #FollowFriday to fit your business needs. I constantly switch them up and would recommend you to try or even mix my recommendations.
I also recommend you to visit Followfriday.com (@followfridaycom) which is a great new tool to measure how many #FollowFridays a user has received.
It also gives you a few tools to help you be grateful for the people who mentioned you with the #FollowFriday hashtag.
Are you using #FollowFriday for any business purpose?
How do you use your #FollowFriday?
Any other suggestions on how to keep your users interested?

FollowFriday – Twitter’s Ranking of the most recommended tweeps
Prototype with Many Advantages for your Blog or WebsiteEvery time I create a blog post for the Blogs I participate in (Twitpuerto.com & Noveltica.com) it involves a tedious process of creating an image of the tweet, uploading the image, and then creating a link towards that tweet so others can reference it.
Yesterday while browsing on the web I found this new twitter tool called Blackbird Pie. This tool allows bloggers or website administrators to embed a tweet into their blog posts or articles.
The advantage is that the tweet keeps most of its functionality since the reader will be able to view the user’s profile, picture, click on links within the tweet, and even view hashtags.
Blackbird Pie was developed by Twitter employee Robin Sloan @robinsloan and is available on the company’s media site.
In order to embed tweets into their sites or blogs:
1. Users need to input a tweet’s link into Blackbird Pie.
2. The service creates a line of code that can be embedded into a site.
Twitter was very clear that Blackbird Pie is not a new feature and it’s still a prototype with some usability issues.
I had one usability issue when bringing the code to my twitpuerto.com site since it displayed some unwanted text.
Removing the part of the code that was not working was a lot easier than doing the full manual process.
Although Blackbird Pie is being modified improved I think it is a huge improvement from going through the previous manual process I explained.
UPDATE: There is also a Blackbird WordPress Plugin for those of you who run your blogs in WordPress.
