When browsing the chrome app store, found this extension that adds an Old RT style to twitter web interface. The extension is available for both Chrome and Firefox. What’s so special about Old RT style? It gives me an option to enter my comment with the Retweet that am going to send. Currently the retweet option in the web interface doesn’t allow you to edit anything. Old school way allows me to edit or enter some text before I push the tweet.

Classic ReTweet is the chrome extension that adds an old school RT option next to Retweet in the twitter web interface.

Once you’ve installed the extension, close the browser and reopen it to log in twitter. You can find the option to RT old school way below each tweet in your home feed.

If you’re using chrome – here is the web store link

Firefox users can install the addon from the extensions repository.

I guess twitter gives them enough fun to get instant feedback, conversation with their friends, readers when they publish their thoughts. Is twitter a mini blog? Well actually yes it is. The real secret to using Twitter effectively is to think of it as a miniature blog. Sure, some people will use it to tell the world what they had for dinner, but as an internet marketer or pro bloggers, you got an altogether different purpose for it.

In fact starting to tweet on regular basis will actually make everything you write on your blog tighter. You bring up all your thoughts into 140 characters and when you wanted to write a blog post, you run out of ideas/words.

Well you certainly have lot more freedom with your blog than twitter. Because, with the recent incidents on Twitter and Facebook in India is atrocious. The right to freedom of speech is being taken down. A simple tweet against Indian politicians will land you up in jail.

Keeping it aside, has the trend changed? Do people love to tweet more and blog less? Few years back had a list of favorite blogs. I used to daily read and enjoy the posts. But today, all my favorite bloggers completely shifted to twitter. Now I am enjoying by reading their creative tweets on current topics.

Apart from them, some serious pro bloggers have started to share their thoughts on twitter and all their blog posts have just become news. For example: A product launch – take some mobile phone launch. Their blog posts are only about the product launch, price, specification, features etc.

But the real thoughts about the product and comparison with its competitor had shifted as tweets. I guess you can understand the point which am trying to convey here. The real thought about something is being told as tweets than on a blog post.

So the advantage of using twitter to convey your thoughts than writing it as a blog post is it allows you to get in touch with anyone else on the web instantly. Twitter provides you a medium to make sure that all your readers, followers and celebrities read your tweets or recognize you easily for your tweets. It also appeals to all those people who simply don’t have the time to keep up with the blog.

I understand the advantage of a blog; it allows you to write down your thoughts in depth. But then, if you’re a person who is much interested in tweeting your thoughts in less than 140 characters, you can use twitter and at times you can write it on your blog. Finally leave the blog URL in twitter bio. So when people find you on twitter, they get to see your blog and decide whether to jump into the blog to read.

My personal thought is twitter can never overtake blogs. Both blog and twitter are two different mediums anytime. Twitter is famous for its brevity and it’s a huge benefit. Twitter can always act as a forerunner to your blog. If you’re a serious pro blogger making money, then you shouldn’t replace the standard blog. It should go hand in hand with it, and those who really understand that link will do well with both.

If you’re just going to write down random thoughts, you can very well become popular on twitter. It will make you a twitter celebrity. I have seen many people who were once a creative blogger, now a twitter celebrity. Their 140 characters or less tweets become popular that it is been shown on media, quoted on newspapers and TV channels. So when mainstream media quotes from twitter tweets, people go crazy!

I am not sure whether I’ve put all the points in a right order. These are some random thoughts on hibernating blogs and tweeting more often. Not boasting that everyone should tweet instead of writing it on their blogs. But, the trend has really changed. When people have started to put their thoughts under 140, they don’t have enough to write on their blogs once again.

Twitter is really more of a social chat tool than real blogging. With all that real time feedback from your readers, twitter is definitely an enhancement for bloggers and not a replacement. These are some points that I can imagine as of now. I don’t know how to take this more. So if you have some valid points about this, do share with me through comments section below. I would love to hear your opinion on twitter vs. blogging.

This tool helps me to find out how many spam accounts are following me.

The company tells you why you should use this tool –

First it’s important for you to be sure when you communicate on Twitter that you are communicating with real and active followers. Because the more active your follower base the more likely they are to share your content. The second reason is there are a growing number of Fakers out there. People who buy followers in a vain attempt to build legitimacy. “Look at me I have 20,000 followers, I must know my…” They are essentially trying to game the system and it’s important for you to be able to spot them, and steer clear of them.

You can find out yours at http://fakers.statuspeople.com/

This kind of service is limited useless because I do not really affect my followers. That said, I took the opportunity to clean up my account via manageflitter.com , but just a little better to manage my following and not my followers. Manage Flitter helps you to find who unfollowed you on twitter and also organize your followers/following lists and find new people on twitter.

One easy way to find out this is, if your website has Google analytics, then from the incoming visits, you can find the referral, but you cannot exactly find how many shares each webpages has got in Twitter, Facebook or Google+.

Socialcrawlytics answers to this question for free. It crawls your site (or your competitors’ if you want) looking for the social shares for each of the internal pages in the most popular social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Pinterest. With this information it generates a visually attractive report indicating the social networks where your pages have been shared.

Socialcrawlytics also generates a report specifying the total amount of shares that your site (or competitor’s) pages have had in each social network. So how to use this web app ? Just with few steps, you get your report.

Login with your twitter account, allow Social crawlytics (crawl+analytics) to authorize your twitter profile. Now you get to see the dashboard. You have 3 options to left of the app. To enter the website URL or any specific web page URL. To check the reports of websites and Logout option. First you need to enter the website URL or any specific web page url.

Once you’ve entered the URL, create the report by entering the crawl depth and how you want to read your reports. Either by posting it to twitter or email. The crawl depth is defined by how many clicks it would take from the starting page to the destination page. If you keep it as 0, then it would crawl only the first page. The value 1 will crawl first page and all the links contained on it and so forth.

If you don’t want to send the reports, you can view it inside the Social Crawlytics app as well. It shows the summary of total pages scanned and number of shares. The graph shows which pages are the source of your best share count per social network. It includes Twitter, Facebook, delicious, Linkedin, Googleplus and Stumbleupon.

Finally you have the Results where it shows the specific URL inside the webpage which you had entered and the number of shares on each social network. This app is completely a free service. Once you’ve logged in, it gives you free credits of 10,000 points. As you scan pages and view results, the points are reduced. If you’re down with points before you scan and view the entire results, then you can post a message on twitter to get unlimited points. It’s a way of advertising Social Crawlytics by a single tweet from you, which gives you access to more points.

Tweet Open Filter is a chrome extension that allows us to control what you want to read on twitter. If you find certain hashtags and tweets following it extremely offensive or irritating, then you can simple zip them using this extension.

Only the new twitter web interface lacks this feature. All other third party desktop clients, twitter mobile apps has this feature to zip all unwanted tweets under one hashtag.

Once installed you will see a new tab on Twitter, when pressed can enter specific words, hashtags and user names that we want to temporarily silence as, for example : #IamSoMiddleClass, #10ThingsILove, some football, cricket fans #IPL, foursquare checkins, Followfriday etc. We can save the settings as a marker, cleaning, activating and deactivating the filters with a single click.

This extension makes twitter more productive, less annoying. The tweets which you hide or not deleted, but hidden. The filter you make, can be saved as a bookmarklet for later use. You can filter out tweets using regular expressions (for example, all words beginning in “auto” using: /\Wauto/)

Once installed, it sits right next to the #Discover button in your twitter web interface. Just hit the filter button, fill out the hashtags or keywords that you want to zip them from your timeline or if you want to zip out all the tweets from specific people, then enter their twitter usernames. That’s it. It won’t show others that you’ve silenced them.

Editor’s note : It is one of the best method to zip tweets from someone without even blocking or unfollowing them. The other person won’t even know that you’re using this extension.
