Five Twitter Services I Use Regularly

Microblogging addicted should be aware that Twitter is a wonderful service to keep in touch with other people who share your interests and a fantastic way to keep track of what’s happening around me. Moreover, I find it to be the best service to keep an eye on what people are saying about your services/products and find how people are talking about your company.

Over the last two years a lot of services have been launched which leverage the power of Twitter to boost the way you use it every day and get the most out of it. Some of them are, in my opinion, a must-have that should actually be integrated into the main service itself.

1) Twitterfeed

In my opinion, a very easy service you can’t stay without. In a nutshell, it lets you automatically post a tweet for any blog post you publish. It can manage more than one RSS feed and, in addition, it also lets you share on Twitter the posts you are sharing on Google Reader, something I find very useful to spread the word about news you find useful and interesting among your followers.

2) Twittercounter

How many followers do you have? Twittercounter lets you find it out and compare it with other users. You can also grab a dynamic image to be posted on your blog. Rather than the number of your followers (something you can easily get on your Twitter home), this service is very useful to monitor how the number of your (or others’) followers changes over time.

3) Tweetlater

Well, it lets you do a lot more things than that self-described by its name. You can schedule new tweets to be posted at certain times, autofollow new followers, send customized responses and much more. A service you cannot ignore if you want to leverage the power of Twitter.

4) Tweetbeep

Keep track of certain keywords and receive reports to your inbox hourly. They say they are the “Google Alerts for Twitter” and this describes very well what this service does.

5) Qwitter

Great service, but not working so well for me lately. It keep tracks of people who unfollow you and send you a daily digest with the list of “unfollowers”. Unfortunately I’ve been not getting those emails since a few weeks now.

And you? What service do you use to get the most out of Twitter?
