Blazing Minds

Those of you that have read my blog over the past few months will of notice I have done a few [intlink id="565" type="category"]Blogging Tips[/intlink] as well as a collection of [intlink id="109" type="category"]Twitter Tips[/intlink] so I thought It was about time that I mentioned a way of helping others in a tip to seeing your new followers and what do with them via the TweetDeck platform.

TweetDeck is your personal browser for staying in touch with what’s happening now, connecting you with your contacts across Twitter, Facebook and more.

Not only can you have a collection of columns that you can show your groups/lists, direct messages, search queries, replies etc, but you can also add a column for new Twitter Follows and this is what can be very useful for sorting out your new Twitter Follows..

So for starters you will need to click the Add column button this will open up the screen for adding new columns to your TweetDeck, then you need to click the “core” button to give you a list of Twitter options.

What you then need to do is make sure you are using the correct Twitter username, if you have multiple accounts, then select the “[intlink id="twitter-followers" type="post"]New Followers[/intlink]” option.

This will now open a new column at the end of your other columns on TweetDeck and will now list new followers of your chosen Twitter account, now you can use this to column to choose who you want to follow back, unfollow, block and even add to lists or groups.

So how can you use this column to follow back your Twitter Followers?

It’s quite simple really under each new follower there are several links you can link on, first is the users Twitter profile link, next is [+] this is for adding the Tweeter to one or more of your groups and/or lists, next is “block” this will block the Tweeter and finally “follow” or “unfollow” if you are already following them.

So when you get new followers you can decide from Tweetdeck whether you want to follow them back or unfollow them, also hovering over the Tweeters profile picture will allow your to mention them in a tweet, DM them, block or block and report spam to Twitter.

I do find this an extremely useful column to have running on Tweetdeck not only does it let me know who is following me, but I can decide there and then from Tweetdeck if I want to follow them back or not, which gives me an instant control over those that are following me while I am using Tweetdeck and as I have the program running while my computer is on, it’s always giving me the option to do what I want.

So there you have it, a simple way using a great Twitter Tool to help you organize your Twitter Followers, it’s easy to do and if you are using TweetDeck it already for you to add
