Twitter Lists
What are Twitter Lists and Why Don’t you Have Them Yet?
Twitter is currently beta testing LISTS. It is a way for you to be able to separate your time lines by sorting out people you follow. So you could make lists for:
- Friends
- News
- Sports
- Shopping
- Family
Only a small group of Twitter users have lists right now and during the beta testing, the lists are actually going away for people that have already made lists. I hope when they come back Twitter will have saved all of the lists becasue it is time consuming to make up.
Once you have lists you can also see what other Twitter users have lists and then you can also copy or follow their whole lists with one click. That is pretty convenient. 
Soon everyone will have them, so don’t worry just be patient.
Want to know if you are on a list?
Type this in to your toolbar but replace “yournamehere” with your twitter name.

This link will only work if you are in the beta group.

Sponsored Tweets
Are you making money on Twitter yet?
Many people are and you can too by signing up through Sponsored Tweets. This is an EASY process that takes less than 10 minutes. Here’s how it works.
Start by going to Sponsored Tweets. You can log in there using your Twitter log in. Once you are logged in you will have to set up your account by entering a few items.
- How much do you want to charge per tweet? (Some people are charging hundreds and some a few dollars)
- What are the keywords you want to tweet about? (travel, cooking, health, etc)
- How do you want to disclose your tweet? (#ad, sponsored by, etc)
- How do you want to be notified of your offers? (direct message, email)
- Do you want to write your own tweet or use what the advertiser writes?
Once your account is set up you will begin to receive offers from advertisers. You can approve or deny the offer. You are not obligated to tweet anything you don’t want to. If you set up to receive offers through direct message, what will happen is you will get notified that you have an offer. Log in to your account and the offer will be there. You will see the link and what they want you to tweet about. You can then write your own tweet or accept what they have written. Once you accept the tweet, the advertiser is notified and then your tweet is tweeted out about an hour or so later.
The money goes in to your account right away.
In addition, they have a referral program, so you can encourage your followers to get paid to tweet and get a little kick back if they sign up under you.
Join the hundreds of web celebs that are already getting paid to tweet.

New Twitter Home Page
Twitter has identified the need to simplify using Twitter for newcomers. As a result they have redesigned their home page to show the basic use of Twitter as a search/recommendation engine. People are used to seeing that white search box, so having that be the first thing they see could instantly put users back in their comfort zone. This is a GREAT move on their part. Google best be looking out.

TwitViewer.net Reported to be a Phishing Scam
ALERT:
Reports are coming in fast and furious across the Twitterverse that hundreds (probably thousands by now) of tweets are going out about TwitViewer.net. The tweets are telling you to sign up and find out who the last 200 people to view your Twitter account are.
DON’T DO IT! Giving you user name/password to third party sites is very risky. It’s usually best to wait until positive recommendations come from them and the site has been around a long time without any problems. In this case, TwitViewer.net seems to have registered the domain name today which is a sign that something is odd. Most companies register the domain name way before they actually launch their product.
Now maybe it’s just a coincidence, but I would recommend being safe rather than sorry. Now if you fell for it and registered, change your password NOW.

Twitter Adds the Word Tweet to Your Profile Page
Twitter has finally adopted the widely used term “tweet”. As of today it is the new word to describe your updates on your home page. “Tweet” has gained more and more popularity so it’s great that Twitter is on board with using that term. It’s less confusing to new users and makes some old users feel like Twitter is paying attention to the community.
Twitter gets better and better every day.

Twitter Blasts Spammers
If you notice that your follower count is dropping (in some cases by the hundreds) do not fear. Twitter is flushing out spammers and sending them in to cyber oblivion.
The follower count has been inconsistent on Twitter for a while now and it has been an issue that they definitely needed to address. So don’t take it personally. It’s not that you have scared people away. It’s a good thing that the followers you have are real people.
Don’t get so hung up on the follower number anyway.

Tweetgrid
Tweetgrid is my new favorite Twitter application where you can track multiple topics on Twitter.
Tweetgrid shows you real-time results and allows you to respond quickly by auto including your hashtag. It works especially well if you are following an event such as #gno (a popular Tuesday evening ‘girls night out’ on Twitter).
It’s very easy, you just log in and select how many topics you want to follow and sit back and start reading and responding. If you are new to Twitter, I would recommend starting off with no more than two topics. Otherwise you may get overwhelmed and never try it again.
Tracking high traffic topics and responding to them is also a way for you to gain more followers and more trust on Twitter.

Some of the blogs they feed from are the Huffington Post, TechCrunch, Engadget and many more.
