3 Twitter Tools to Increase Productivity
Twitter, over time has proved itself to be one of the most powerful marketing and social media platform. 140 characters to compose your thought, market your business, post a link, share a message, and before you realize your are already a part of a micro-blogging experience. And since Twitter is emerging as such a versatile and fast social media channel, let’s look at 3 Awesome Twitter Tools To Increase Productivity in order to make our life easier.
The first thing one notices and yearns for while being a Twitter user is the number of followers he or she has and whether does his twitter profile has gained enough traction for people to tweet to him, maybe send a DM or how high he or she can rank in terms of the overall Klout score.
Similarly for any small, medium or a huge business owner, it has become quite mandatory to have a twitter profile wherein their fans can be their followers, tweet about their company, look them up for awesome deals and promotions. Equally important is for a company to maintain their twitter profile, monitor the latest trends and reach out to their valuable customers. Even more challenging is the fact to be able to interact with their followers and have them coming back.
Having said that, there are numerous Twitter applications and tools available out there. The list is never ending. What I have listed are some of my favorite Twitter based 3rd-party applications and services which can prove to be very successful to either give your twitter profile a jump start, promote your business or personal blog.
1. Buffer App – www.bufferapp.com
Buffer is a great application to integrate on your personal blog. It gives a visitor the functionality to basically buffer your blog posts or anything interesting to be tweeted at a certain later time. This way all you have to do is set and forget. Similarly, if you have a buffer account of your own, you can go around the internet reading blogs and articles, and instead of manually tweeting every time, you can just buffer them up into your buffer account to tweet at your own set schedule. You can schedule your own tweets right down to the minute to keep you going on Twitter even while you are sipping on a Hawaiian fruit punch on the beach taking your time off.

Twitter’s web based client is good for beginners to manage their daily routine with tweets, retweets, mentions and DMs. But if you want to step it up a notch higher, you must download and install the desktop based Tweetdeck client (which is owned by Twitter too).
