HootSuite is great

I have been playing around with HootSuite and I should they have done a great job. It’s a professional twitter application that does many things. My favorite feature is the multiple twitter account management.

After adding all your twitter accounts to your dashboard, sending messages to each (or all accounts at once) is a snap (see screenshot below). You just type select the account and publish. No need to login/logout multiple times.

Some people might say, why you need multiple twitter accounts? Well, sometimes you need separate account for your projects…

If you want to know more about HootSuite, here is their promo video:

Blogged 2.0 looks cool

Blogged’s new 2.0 version looks really great, lots of improvements. It’s more facebook’ish now, you can post stuff, follow people, comment on anything etc.

If you don’t know what is Blogged, it’s a blog directory that rates blogs and let people rate them too. With the new version, they have done it more like a Social Network site rather than a simple blog directory with rating capability, which is great.

Chance for you to make money with Facebook usernames

If you login to your facebook now, it will show you a notice at the top of the page which reads:

Soon you will be able to have a username
Starting on Saturday, June 13th, at 12:01pm, you’ll be able to choose a username for your Facebook account to easily direct friends, family, and coworkers to your profile…

That means you will be able to choose any keyword for your account, for most it would be their names but for many others who want to make money that would mean registering new dummy accounts and getting like these keywords below:

.
Obviously you won’t be able to get keywords like facebook.com/google or any other keyword that is copyrighted, trademarked or infringes someone else’s Intellectual Property. Facebook says regarding this: Read more »

Making Money with Twitter

While twitter is still trying to figure out how to make money, others are already making money with its platform. One such service is Magpie. Magpie is an ad-network for Twitter.

How it works:

In basic terms, you allow them to access your twitter account, and they will tweet relevant ads to your account. You get paid based on your number of followers, the rate of the ads (different category ads have different prices), and the number of clicks on these ads. How exactly they calculate your earnings is obviously known only to them.

You can define the tweet frequency, and for maximum control you can choose to pre-approve each tweet from magpie yourself.

How much you can make?

It depends on the number of your followers. Magpie has a calculator on their website. According to this calculator with my 177 followers, apparently I could make up to 8.61 pounds per month (i know.. that’s very small).

Let’s insert someone’s username who is influential on twitter. And that’s none other than @aplusk or Ashton Kutcher. He has over 1.5 million followers.

So the calculator says he could make over 90 thousands pounds every month! (see screenshot) Wow, that’s a lot!

Summary

So, as you can see, number of followers does matter. On twitter # of followers are like a “unique visitors” in normal websites. The more followers you have the more money you will likely to make when the twitter based publisher networks come out. Therefore, start building your twitter community, grow your twitter’s following. I am quite sure that twitter’s own (and other) “making money models” will rely on the number of followers that one has first. And perhaps this will be combined with the number of clicks that each ad will get.

Whatever it is, you will need to have a healthy twitter community, which is active and will actually follow your tweets. Because I am sure twitter (and other future publisher networks on twitter platform) won’t just pay you for having the most number of followers. Having thousands of zombie followers who do not click on your tweet-links won’t benefit you. Therefore, don’t try to grow your network with those automatic tools that will just fill up your twitter network with dead followers. Most of those followers are actually empty accounts that won’t get updated ever.

Well, Magpie might just have thought a lesson to Twitter on how to monetize their network.
