Perhaps Friday Nights Are Now for Tweetaholics

Random: Since I have not posted this before, take a moment to regress and watch Tim Ferriss in his YouTube pen flicking stunts and then you can practice yourself.

Ok, onto the post now: So my lack of blogging is of course because it takes so much time. Hence my research project into productivity and Twitter. Of course, it can be a time sink, or not. Let’s assume the latter. Lately, I have been examining at various Twitter tools, including but by no means limited to the following:

• Mr. Tweet
• Tweetlater
• Twollo
• Tweetdeck
• Joint Contact
• Twitterfeed
• and others…to be continued

Yes, most people in my daily life still think Twitter is useless. In fact, who out there is surrounded only by people who think Twitter is useful? Well, maybe a few select social media strategists. Below are some recent findings on Twitter or about Twitter that have proven productive for me.

How Twitter Has Helped My Frantic Life in the Last Week:

• I found out that people were reading reading a certain marketing communication from work, as the essence of the message was tweeted.
• I easily located highly applicable information for my Twitter productivity project, from well, Twitter.
• I started following my classmates in social networks and virtual worlds class (Sundays at 6pm in Elluminate via Babson or Second Life). It would be cool if we had a Tweetup since we all meet just virtually for this class.
• In a moment when I post this, my post should auto-populate over to Twitter, if I used Twitterfeed correctly
• I got my first iphone this week (yes, I’m feeling some major glee) and so set up my apps and will start experimenting with productivity from the mobile Twitter suite of options – no dearth here.

Well – it’s nearly time to adjourn as I’m heading out to a productcamp tomorrow for a good time, surely to include Twitter in there somewhere.
