]]> I’ve written so many articles about using Twitter for Social Networking and I have mentioned briefly about the bio on your Twitter profile, so now, I thought it was about time I went into this a bit more.

Your Twitter bio is possible one of the most important things that people will check when they view your Twitter page and leaving this blank is a complete No No! And yet again filling it with spammy words just to get followers is another NO NO, as most tweeters will know what your doing it..

Since originally writing this article I have updated it and extended it a little with some more useful tips

TwitterSo what should you put in your Twitter bio, well, make it informative, but not personal, as an example mine reads:

Owner and Famous Blogger of Blazing Minds, lover of tech, life & people who make her laugh. A Twitter celebrity in the making. http://blazingminds.co.uk

As you can see, it says what I do and a few of the things I like, you  may of noticed that I’ve also added my URL into the bio, this helps when your Twitter bio is listed on other sites that may not mention your URL. What you shouldn’t be putting is things like:

Website seo, blogging tips, thesis, blogs, blog design

 

This is just spammy and it shows that the tweeter knows that people will search through the bio looking for those keywords to follow them, yes it is OK to add a few keywords, but add them in a sentence, not just a list of words!

Example: I’m a blogger that writes about blogging tips, blog design, thesis and many more interesting blog related articles

If you want people to follow you on twitter show them that you are worth their time and let them see from your bio that you are not just another one of those bots that is only there for the numbers. By showing that you’re a human being with a well formed and interesting Twitter Bio people will have an inkling of your Twitter streams content.

Try the following tips in your Twitter Bio:

  1. Tell Tweeters what you do
  2. Show a side of your personality
  3. Add something a little personal, but not something no one should know!
  4. Never include politics, religion or sexuality
  5. Have fun, but be informative and most of all be HUMAN

So there you have it a few little tips, that I hope will help.

If you have any Twitter tips on what you think your should add in the bio then let us all know ;)

Well this is how…..

I use a website called Refollow, now don’t be fooled by the name it has so many following and unfollowing options that you may not need anything else;)

Refollow - Twitter Organizer

Once you have logged in to Refollow by using Twitter OAuth you will have a selection of options you can make, by ticking the boxes you require, such as “Not Following”, “Never Followed”, “Not Following Me” etc.

For the purpose of this post, I’m going to show you how to unfollow on Twitter those that have no picture, meaning they still have the default Twitter logo.

So tick – “I’m Following” and “Without Picture” now the screen will display a section of Twitter with default images, if not go into the “Show Me” section and click both the mores, then Update View.

You can then select them to unfollow on Twitter, now remember to be cautious when unfollowing as you don’t want to get banned from Twitter, I usually find that unfollowing a page, 100 Twitters, in a 24 hours period is probably your best bet.

Tweaking the different boxes will give you different results, you could also unfollow those that haven’t tweeted in several days, or those that have not followed you back, it’s entirely up to you ;)

UPDATE

Since posting this article back in April, refollow has now become a paid service, this was all due to Twitter changing their policies without informing developers, click on the image below to read the upgrade page from Refollow.

No related posts.]]> This is a question that I have been asked before by loads of my friends and I thought I would write a short post on my tips for your mass of DMs or Direct Messages that you may have building up on your Twitter profile.

First of all your DMs shouldn’t really give you any cause for concern, even though they may be a bit of a pain to have loads, they are generally not a problem, but, if you do want to get rid of them, there is sadly no option on Twitter to delete multiple DMs, so how do you do it?

Some time ago you used to be able to use a program called DM Whacker, but sadly this no longer works on twitter, so my advice would be to use SocialOomph (formally TweetLater), besides been able to do stacks of other things, you can also “purge” your list of DMs from Twitter.

Remove Twitter Direct Messages with SocialOomph

You have a choice of all DMs, older than 7 days and older than 30 days, so you can keep some that you may deem important. Yes it’s that simple.

But remember once your DMs are deleted, that’s it, you will not be able to get them back, they are gone for over, so be careful you don’t delete messages that you want to keep ;)

One way of doing this is with a website called TwitChuck.

TwitChuck Remove Twitter Spammers

It’s easy to use TwitChuck, just log in with your Twitter account via Twitter Oauth and then your off, simply select SpamChuck and TwitChuck will give you the option of checking your Friends, Followers or Everyone. So just select which one you want and click on it.

SpamChuck will then display possible Twitter Spammers and display them for you, then it’s up to you if your block them all or de-select those that you would like to keep.

There is also an option to do a single search for a Twitter User, by simply entering the Twitter name, you then get a screen with some information on it, including a score for the Tweeter. As far as I can see the number changes colour as it’s get closer to been a spammer, so Blue is ok, but RED is possibly a spammer, so check them out before you block them ;)

TwitChuck Twitter Information Screen

So there you go another Twitter Tool for you to organize you tweeters with, but as will all Twitter Tools use it wisely and do not abuse the system as this may cause twitter to think that you are being very naughty and suspend you..

No related posts.]]> Friday seems to come round quicker everyweek and I, like so many others, like to give my support to those that have been kind enough to me over the week by ReTweeting my posts etc, and it can be quite daunting sorting out a list of those that have. and then working out which of the Twitters have retweeted the most or mentioned you the most times over that week and if you are very popular on twitter it can be even more of a task .

So while searching the net I came across a handy [intlink id="retweet-rt-twitter" type="post"]Twitter Tool[/intlink] called FollowFriday Helper…

Twitter FollowFriday HelperOnce you have logged in with your Twitter account via Twitter Oauth, you can start recommending those Twitters that have been kind enough to have ReTweeted your tweets, mentioned you, ReTweets you’ve made to other Tweeters and even those that have already recommended you in the past, it’s simply to do and when you make your choice a list is loaded up with the Twitters avatar, bio, URL, location and other information about how many tweets they have mentioned you with etc. You can even see the tweets they have made about you, very handy when you want to know what they have tweeted or retweeted.

Twitter FollowFriday Helper User Example

But the really nice thing that I like about Twitter FollowFriday Helper, is that it’s not just for FollowFriday, you can use it for a selection of other preset hashtags – #FollowFriday #ff #ThankYou #TY #Gratitude #Top #FollowSaturday #FollowSunday #FollowMonday #FollowTuesday #FollowWednesday #FollowThursday #FollowNow #FollowEveryDay #MustFollow #FollowerOfTheDay – plus, you can add your own in the tweetbox, so really you can use it for anything you want, I select my recommendation and then add a line of text at the end saying why I recommend them and then you get a tweet like this:

Twitter FollowFriday Helper Tweet

So if you are looking for a Twitter Tool that will help you with making your FollowFriday recommendations then give this [intlink id="using-twitter-with-your-blogs" type="post"]Twitter Website[/intlink] a try, it’s easy to use and best of all it’s free, what more could you ask for ;)
