Whoa,  auto tweet retweets!

Yes, if you have an intense interest in any ‘keyword’ or ‘keyword phrase’ you may want to pay close attention to this video on “How To Create an Auto Retweet Twitter Bot”.

The key to this bot creation is the use of yahoo pipes to make your own twitter bot that will retweet  anyones twwet that contains your word or words.

Also, this bot is meant for fun and informational purposes rather than for spamming.

If you loved the original Hummingbird, you’ll simply adore Hummingbird version 2. If this is your first word of this twitter marketing tool then you will be pleased.

Just watch and you’ll get a nice overview of bulk follow and bulk unfollow. However, there are other free software tools that will do the same thing. the new version now also works on MAC’s and PC’s as well Linux.

While it is a market leader and is built to accept third party plugins, I feel that the $97 price tag of Hummingbird 2 is not excessive given its cababilites.

Have you ever wondered how much overlap there is between different followers?

But more importantly, you can find out who has unique followers. If you want to add more followers, Follower Wonk is a free tool that you want to check out. Just enter three twitter profiles and the wonk’s will reveal all!

For each of the 3 profiles you choose, you can see how many days they have been on twitter, their average new followers per day, their number of tweets and their average tweets per day. This help to see which one is more actively using twitter the right way (tweet) and which one is just out to get more followers.

And if you want to share this information in a tweet, just use the handy “Tweet this comparison! link. As Mr Spock would say “fascinating”.

There are also 3 links to lists that show which followers are unique to each profile and 4 link to lists that show which followers are shared. Each of these lists include the followers screen name, real name, location, number of friends, number of followers and a link to their twitter profile so that you too can follow them.

If you like this type of information and would like the ’spiffed up’ version with more options, you can upgrade your Tweet Spinner membership and get this add-on feature.

This Twitter Marketing Tips video promotes their twitter education video. But it also provides some very interesting marketing and advertising facts and opinions.

* Retweets are good – Social network users are three times more likely to believe the opinions of peers over advertising

* Social Media – Spending on social medis advertising will exceed traditional advertising media methods

* The Power of Twitter – Twitters key power is to quickly reach targeted consumers.

* The total number of followers is not the best indicator of who is the most successful in twitter marketing.

Also, after viewing the video, you will realize that the above monkey cartoon is really the key to making money with twitter. Even if you do not buy access to the educational material, you would do well to review our post “Tweepler – Pro Tip for Sorting Twitter Followers“.

The Twenius people also give you a bonus called “The 100 World’s Greatest Twitter Strategies”.

To simply say that Tweet Spinner cleans up your twitter ‘direct messages’ folder is a woeful understatement of all the tools available for free.

You can also do some rare things with the spinner tools that you can’t find elsewhere. For instance, you can rotate your background design and your text profile. This will help keep your site looking fresh and updated.

Other things that you can do for free at spinner include schedule a tweet for hours days or weeks in advance, unfollow up to 40 friends at a time that do not follow you, follow up to 40 followers that follow you but that you do not follow, add keywords to locate and follow up to 40 new people at a time per keyword and more.

Tweet Spinner also is very mindful of the limits that twitter places on accounts and tries to keep your activities within those limits. This assists you from having your account closed.

It’s free, but does have upgrade options too.

Sorting through your new followers is made easy with Tweeple.

After your followers information is processed by Tweepler you can view interesting information about each of your followers. This information includes “the last 3 tweets by that user, Average Tweets per Day, Total Tweets, How many people they are Following, How many Followers they have as well as the Following to Followers ratio”.

This information helps you to sort through your followers.

The attempt here is to help you follow back only real friends. These real friends are more valued than just auto followers who will probably never actually read something you’ve posted or follow through on them with some desirable action such as clicking and buying.

Initially, everyone is in the “Unprocessed Followers Bucket”. Once you have reviewed whatever criteria is important to you, you can put the followers into either your “Ignore Bucket” or your “Follow Bucket” lists.

To sort them, you just click the left arrow to follow them or click the right arrow to ignore them!

Twittley is a good place to submit your website, blog or twitter link. The PR3 of the home site is likely to increase as more people come more aware of this free twitter marketing site.

As Twittley states “Twittley is a social network for users to find and share links on Twitter”. And it’s true. To submit you link you just first need to sign up with your twitter user name and password. This simple step relieves you of any need to fill in some goofy registration form and then wait for a confirmation email which may never arrive.

Besides the ability to submit your own free link, the site make it simple to search for related topics of interest to your site. Once you have found what you like, just click on “retweet” for an instant retweet to your registered twitter profile.

The site links I’ve seen were mostly high quality, so I added my own.

Twittley also keeps track of your ‘Twittley Karma’ as well as the number of your submissions, comments and your Twitter Karma. The site fast, quick and totally search and twitter friendly.

It’s a fun twitter marketing site and it’s free.

The quickest way to automatically follow 200 people using targeted keywords is TwittGeek.

It is as simple as entering your twitter user name & password and then selecting the keywords that you want to use. The Twitt Geek site automatically adds 200 friends to your profile that have used your keyword. It is a simple yet effective way to add targeted friends that will hopefully follow you in return.

During the adding process, the twitter profile link for new friends appear. This lets you go to the site and check them out. Of course, you can let the process run by itself.  You can also pause the process and come back later to continue. After you have added 200 friends and are done for the day, you are reminded to come back tommorrow to do it again.

The only thing that TwittGeek asks from you is a tweet to their website. So, it is free of any monetary cost to you.

Some people use retweeting as a way to seem more involved and knowledgeable. Others use retweets as a way to gain favor from the original twitter.

- This free reTweet.it site gives you 3 free retweets of your own message when you first sign up, for free.

- You can also earn another 1/2 added retweet of your message whenever you retweet someone else’s mesaage.  If you are going to retweet to make yourself seem more involved, you might as well gain some small advantage from it in the form of retweets of your message.

- If you have lots of money for twitter marketing, you could even buy some rewteets.  The prices seem a little steep to me, but you can get 50 retweets for $5 or 100 retweets for $10 and 300 retweets for $25.

- You can also earn another paltry 5 retweets when you refer someone else to the retweet site.

Earning those 1/2 reweet credits is real easy. The home page shows the messages and you just click on “reweet this” to reweet the message to your profile. There are many twitters signed up so there is a lot of opportunity to reweet and earn reweet credits.

It was kind of fun and weird.

Automate RSS Feeds To Twitter

You can use this free YoTwits tool in many creative ways. The most basic usaage of course is to add your own RSS feeds from your blog to your profile. You can set it up to check your feed every hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours or daily. When it finds a new post, YoTwits will send it to your twitter account.

The fun and interesting part however, is the versatile ability to retweet from any other RSS feed yow desire. This opens up a whole new range of retweeting opportunities.

As I’ve noted at youtube, I think that “Here is an excellent way to automate your twitter profile from your blog. And at the same time, add interesting and valuable content from other blogs to your twitter account.”

As the yotwits site says “Boost your Twitter personality: broadcast your interests, add followers”. But, be sure to tweet and retweet responsibly.
