Tweety Mail = Twittering Made Easy Via Email

Udegbunam Chukwudi — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:00:00 +0000

Unlike on Facebook, keeping track of my twitter conversations has never been easy not to talk of tracking my retweets. If you were sending any message my way other than a direct message, you were sure to NEVER receive a reply from me or receive a late reply.

The above happened cos I wasn’t receiving notifications of the messages except for the direct messages of course. Recently I discovered Tweety Mail and life on Twitterland has been much sweeter .

Tweety Mail created by Anil Chawla is quite easy to setup thus I won’t be wasting much of your precious time.

Simply sign up for Tweety Mail, link your email address(es) to Tweety Mail and select which Email alerts you want to receive and you’re done.

Depending on what function you want to use, your tweets(emails) have to be sent to specific Tweety Mail addresses as shown in the capture below. A detailed user guide is present as well to guide you.

Stay up-to-date and harness the beauty of Twitter by signing up for Tweety Mail today. I sure do hope this project of Anil Chawla’s lasts a very long time and keeps growing as the opposite seems to be the trend with past applications that offered services similar to this one.

Please support Anil Chawla by retweeting this post or tweeting about Tweety Mail. Thanks .

How To Properly Configure ReTweet Links & Buttons

Udegbunam Chukwudi — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 08:00:00 +0000

For months I wondered why my blog posts weren’t getting retweeted cos each time, I checked the ReTweeted section of my twitter account, it was always blank.

Well it so happens that my retweet link and buttons weren’t well configured for twitter to track my retweets and so I made the changes that had to be made thanks to the Mashable’s Ben Parr article: HOW TO: Retweet on Twitter.

Here are some basic retweet codes. Please note these may or may not work on your blog depending on what permalink structure your blog has in place.

To create a simple retweet link for your posts, use the code below:

username : http://yourblogaddress/?p=">ReTweet This Post

To create a simple retweet link for your pages, use the code below:

username : http://yourblogaddress/?page_id=">ReTweet This Post

To create a retweet button such as the one that appears below each and every post on this blog use the code below:

username : http://yourblogaddress/?p=">link to image" />

To create a retweet button for your pages, use the code below

username : http://yourblogaddress/?page_id=">link to image" />

Do please remember to change the parts in green

username = your twitter id (e.g sonlinebiz) | yourblogaddress = your blog home page address (e.g http://www.strictlyonlinebiz.com/blog) | link to image = the direct link to your retweet image (e.g http://localhost/test/wp-content/themes/primus/primus/images/retweet.png)

To track your retweets, please refer to the article, HOW TO: Retweet on Twitter for a list of the best web-based tools for tracking retweets.

P.S: If these don’t work you, simply leave a comment below and I’ll create one for you. Cheers!

Top 4 Reasons For Never Blogging Without Twitter

Udegbunam Chukwudi — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 08:00:00 +0000

Traffic is important to blogging and most blogs at some point in time enjoy a huge traffic surge from social bookmarking sites such as Digg, Delicious and StumbleUpon.

The downside is that for new bloggers, it’s always difficult to get this social bookmarking traffic in the first few months and this is where Twitter comes in to the rescue.

Newbies to blogging are highly advised to add a Tweet this button or ReTweet button to their blogs cos of the following reasons.

Twitter is fast becoming sort of a micro bookmarking site. Blog readers are MORE willingly to tweet posts than Digg them. I’m a huge example of that. Ever tried digging a post on dial-up connections? So frustrating. To complete the bookmarking process you have through like 2 –3 pages. With Twitter, your readers can share your posts in less than 10 seconds depending on their internet connection speed.
If you share the same interests as your friends on twitter, they’ll be the first to read your tweeted posts and even go as further as retweeting them for others including your nonfollowers. Your tweets appear frequently in the search engines and get clicked on by folks searching for the keywords contained in that tweet.
IMO, Twitter generates traffic faster than bookmarking sites. As a newbie to blogging, my most tweeted post still remains Top 5 Ways Of Making $100 A Day: IM Gone Wild. It got 67 retweets in one day and generated over 100 Unique visitors. Now tell me which social bookmarking site will do that for you as a newbie to blogging.
Finally, though I don’t have statistics for this, it appears that most people have twitter accounts and not social bookmarking accounts so the probability of a twitter citizen retweeting a good post is quite high.

Interested in adding a tweet this button to your blog/site? Check out my previous post on How To Integrate Tweetmeme Without A Plug-in.

Do also look into installing the Tweetly Updater wordpress plug-in on your blogs. It automatically tweets your new posts and retweets them whenever you modify them.

Do you have a Tweet This button on your blog? If you do, please share with us why you have it implemented on your blog or your results after implementing it.
