Some Twitter honey
We haven’t had a honeypost in some time and my bookmarks are just overflowing with interesting snippets for all of you to enjoy. I have so much to choose from that I decided to focus today on
- How Twitter was born: Some interesting insight into the birth of Twitter.
- How to use Twitter for Business: An excellent introduction to Twitter which walks through how it can be applicable to marketing, PR and customer service.
- 8 patterns in social media ecosystems: Not directly about Twitter but relevant to anyone interested in learning more about social media.
- Pancheros integrates Twitter into stores: A real life example of how a US retailer is embracing new technology. Expect the trend to grow. It’s only a matter of time before you can buy New York Yankees tickets on Twitter too
- Add a TweetRoll to your blog: How to add a WordPress widget that shows off your friends and followers.
- Top cigar aficionados on Twitter: Yes, you can find anything your heart desires on Twitter.
- TweetWheel: A great way to visualise your friends and who’s connected to whom.
- Twhirl: My favourite Twitter client. Much recommended. Especially as the new version includes a spell checker to stop those embarrassing typos.
- Twittervision: An awesome way to while away your free time. Watch as Tweets pop up all over the world. Great visualisation mashup.
So great links there, especially if you’re into Twitter. If you’re not, well maybe now is the time to sign up and give it a try. If you’re in there, don’t forget to follow me.

Your FL furiends,
Owen – you know I love these links you do, and now you do one devoted totally to Twitter?! You’re awesome.
@Sadie: Just make sure you tell all your friends about it. Oh .. and if you tweet it, you’ll see your Tweet in the Tweetbacks section above
Interesting information on Twitter Owen. When I first heard of Twitter, I didn’t think it would last. Shows you how good my intuition on these types of things is!
Interesting read on how Twitter was born. It’s amazing how it’s morphed into something much more than they ever expected!
i used to think twitter was annoying, but now i’ve found myself using it more lately. that’s probably because i got an iphone and it’s easier for me to think about now. i do enjoy seeing little tidbits of updates from people.
great links!!!! Thanks a bunch! I am just a light twitterer.
Wow…what a great post. Anything and everything you could ever want to know about Twitter is all right here…Thanks for sharing!
I dont understand Twitter so I will have a looksie at the link and maybe they will help me out. oh BTW I had no luck with the cam problem lol. Thanks for trying to help me though.
Owen, you always know the best sites!
I have a question for you – have you come across a ‘Twaddress’ book in your travels. Often, I want to write someone a Twitter and can’t remember their correct Twitter name, so have to go searching for it.
I’d love it, if there was an ‘autofill’ available on Tweetdeck. Can you suggest anything?
Started recently working with twitter to gain traffic and it is going well so thanks for the additional resource links.
Gosh, the Twitter folks do know a way to suck up a lot of your idle moments. What if the world’s next big genius who cures all diseases doesn’t do it because they are too busy on twitter? Oh…and you can find me on twitter too twitter.com/thesnackhound
Great links.. Thanks for sharing.. I am still trying to figure out twitter and the links are just very helpful..
As usual Owen, excellent post and now you’ve just given me even more “homework” LOL! Thanks for all the links to Twitter though. We use it, and we know others are, too, but how they find the time to Tweet and get work done is beyond me. Maybe one of your posts will help…
Great links as always. I can get hypnotized by Twittervision so I have to stay away from it LOL.
You always have the greatest resources here!
