Twitter Testimonial and Follow Friday

So I have been getting back into tweeting a lot and I have been meeting a lot of nice and friendly people via twitter!! When I first signed up for twitter I was using it lightly because I was [of course] new to the whole ordeal but it hasn't been until here recently I have been using it as a neat little tool that I can get things off my chest and get feedback on most of my tweets. Well here I have been updating you on things because I'm so comfortable. I have broken out of my twitter shell that you guys know what I'm doing, thinking, listening to, reading, news, etc, etc. I now also participate in the Follow Friday's that I make it a goal to blog my recommendations of Follow Fridays so that everyone knows how active I am on twitter.

My Follow Friday recommendations will be a mixture of my followers mentioning me in any form of #hashtag for Follow Friday plus I will be adding their recommendations to my list permitting how there profile looks. Not only that but grading on the level of how often they tweet! Once I am gathering my list I will be tweeting a short list of names that will be on my list so that way people can tell that I haven't forgotten about Follow Friday. Most times I am hoping to have this list up and posted the same day but this week has been a real busy week and I was extremely busy with an important business issue and had to postpone the blog until now!

This is my Follow Friday list for Friday, January 22, 2010:

TweetDeck

TweetDeck
TweetDeck
Free
*****
TweetDeck is a twitter application that is ran on your desktop computer. It is by far the greatest one that I found out there. I use it all the time because it not only allows me to tweet but I also have the option to update my facebook status. With the latest version you can not only get better options of getting everyone's tweet by having your lists off twitter on TweetDeck. I recommend it to anyone who uses Windows and who is worried about API. If you use the right settings you don't have to worry about going over. To download follow the link above.

Follow Friday Update and More

A couple entries back I had discussed Twitter's famous Follow Friday. Well with last weeks follow friday my twitter follower list has grown almost by 20+ people. Well this week I am going to start something different. I am going to start posting a link to each follow friday list and putting it up in a blog, as well as updating my status with the WHOLE list of followers for the event. That way I still can do the hashtag and start getting recognized on FollowFriday.com.

How can you get on my list? Well for this week (since its such sort notice) I will just handpick like I do every week. But from after this Friday on there will be a few things I will look into. And here's a list in what I will look at:

• How neat your Twitter page looks
• How nice you are (i.e. friendly, recommendations, tweets, etc)
• How much we talk
• How popular you are (i.e. how many people are following you)
• And a few odds and ends.

I am hoping that soon I can have a fair list that have different people on it each week. Some weeks I might have one or two of the same people on it but I am hoping that I can spice it up a bit and have different people on it as well.

On a lighter note I am working on getting this site back to a nicer and more complex (for me at least) site were I hope people will start saying Wow, Mandi actually spent some time and worked hard on it. I am hoping to also work on getting to find a way to get back into college so that I can really pursue my degree in Web and Graphic design, but for now I am just playing around.

Well, that's all for the updates and I hope to see you all in the Twitter land!!

Twitter: My Revolution

Most of everyone has heard of Twitter by now but many still don't have a Twitter account. I don't mind who does or doesn't have a Twitter because its their reason they don't but most of the many users who do find that they love it because they find more people who like stuff they do. I use it to update people on what I am doing throughout the day as well as to create more friendships and find others around me who would like to hang. I even use it to keep in touch with friends who I have known for a while. Most views of my blog know that my username on Twitter is @MandiDavis and I even have a RSS feed on here. Well I have recently gotten a new cellphone provider in which my tweets can be sent to me via text. Well I have gone through my list of people who follow me and my list of people I follow and have complied a list of people who I have their tweets sent to my phone. Here is the list [Note: the list is in no particular order!!]:

@AmberLyssaMarie

My list is based of friends who I tweet with on a daily basis, those who send updates (i.e. New stations, bands, etc), or even just people who I really want to keep in touch. I had to keep the list to a bare minimum so that my phone won't blow up. I just want to say to all my Twitter friends, if it gets outta hand I'll just swith it to Direct Messages. But I am hoping it don't come down to that.
If you are a memeber of Twitter and don't know how to do that, then follow me and send me a reply or direct message and I'll be glad to help. [Note: If I get many request I'll possibly make a blog about it]. Tell than, lets get Twittering!!

blip.fm: Where You are the DJ

BLIP.fm

This site is the best site for people to be a DJ for there OWN radio station. DJs get to blip while there listeners get to listen and give them props for certain songs. I think that it is the greatest tool/site for people to recommend certain songs to people in where if the person doesn't like the song, they don't have to download* it. I personally use this site and I think its awesome because I can use the site with my Twitter, FriendFeed, and Autoscrobbler. Join now by going to blip.fm!!
