Twitter Wordpress Microblog Site

Jim Atwood — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 13:13:01 +0000

This is one of my favorite websites and one that I use frequently to check on my twitter updates and to search for other topics. I am still working on the backend with additional tweaks and customizations, but so far it’s coming along nicely. The theme I used is called Tweem which uses a Juitter Jquery script as the foundation for the theme. I then added single posts, custom widgets, and some additional functions in the backend to get the site to do more of what I want. There are a ton of changes here and if I get a chance I’ll list them shortly. As with all my sites, I usually start with a commercial theme and then customize everything to achieve my desired look and functionality.

Notable Themes, Plugins, and Customizations used on for this project.
Tweem Theme
Juitter Jquery Code
Addiitonal Search Tabs Added
Added Single Posts
Custom Twitter Seach Box

Find Relevant Twitter Users with FlashTweet

Jim Atwood — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 06:16:02 +0000

I’m digging this online site called http://www.flashtweet.com/ that allows you to do a number of cool things with your Twitter account for free. FlashTweet is a mass follow tool that simplifies the process of adding your twitter friends. You can see who you are following that is following you back, mass follow users based on search terms and even unfollow multiple friends at once. I particularly like this tool because I can easily pull user profiles based on search terms or a user profile I want to know more about. It then allows you to auto follow up to 100 users which is good because you shouldn’t automate over 200 follows on Twitter per day. Great site for those who wish to have ( a better? ) alternative than all those paid software programs floating around for auto following. I knew there had to be something free and more useful and this might just be the ticket.

If anyone has good free alternatives for auto following relevant users on Twitter, please let me know. Note I say relevant because I am genuinely interested in following users that follow my interests in Japan, Photography, and the Tech world. In no way do I wish to spam or use for any other purpose. Thanks!!

Update…another great site to check out is http://www.buzzom.com/Default.aspx.

Bulk Unfollow Operations with Twitter

Jim Atwood — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:51:10 +0000

Another site I am using much more often is called http://huitter.com/mutuality/. Mutuality is a simple service which allows you to make bulk operations with your Twitter account such as “Unfollow all who do not follow you back”, Unfollow all, or “Follow all who follows you”. I find this very useful unfollowing multiple users if needed. It’s a free service and it works very well for the above bulk tasks. Does anybody know of similar services that are free and useful?

Bulk Unfollow Operations with Twitter

Catching Twitter Quitters

Jim Atwood — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:39:19 +0000

I just stumbled upon a website that aims to help finding out who “unfollowed” or “quit following you” on Twitter. I think this is interesting information because there are a lot of people who simply want to be followed, but not follow anyone else. They may follow you and then later unfollow you for some reason or another. Perhaps there might be a good reason which is fine, but regardless, I think it’s very helpful to know who unfollows you. I wish Twitter was more helpful in this matter. So what do you do? How do you find this info out?

Well, so far I’ve only been able to find one free service at http://useqwitter.com/.

Qwitter e-mails you when someone stops following you on Twitter with a message like this:

John Gruber (gruber) stopped following you on Twitter after you posted this tweet:

What’s the difference between Arial and Helvetica?

I only just started using this and will update my post once I determine whether it works to my liking or not. Anyone know of any alternatives on getting notified when someone pulls the plug on following you?

Juitter Plugin Rocks!

Jim Atwood — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:52:32 +0000

I found this Wordpress Plugin that when tweaked can add Live Twitter Feeds to the end of your posts. You can tweak variables such as Keywords, User To, and User From. You can also adjust the look, color, and number of feeds that can be pulled. Like the title says, it rocks! Check it out below.
