Review of ‘Twitter Power’ by Joel Comm

Recently, I received a review copy of Twitter Power by Joel Comm.  I published a review of Twitter Power on my Blogging Guide Site for About.com.  I’m not allowed to republish it here, but I want to share the review, so please follow the link to read my review of Twitter Power. 

Long story short, I liked Twitter Power and think it’s particularly useful for beginner Twitter users.

Flutter – The Shortened Twitter

Have you seen the viral video online about Flutter – the “nanoblogging” site for people who find Twitter too much to handle?

The video asks if 140 characters are too much for you to read?  If so, try Flutter where flaps are limited to just 26 characters. 

What’s next?  Shutter – 10 characters only, no vowels (that’s Shttr). 

Hilarious!  Check it out below.

Brand Your Twitter Profile Page

I’m finally starting to try to use Twitter more frequently, so I took a few minutes yesterday to give my Twitter profile page a branded design with my logo, color palette and even incorporating the background image from the KeySplash Creative website.  If you haven’t branded your Twitter profile, it’s a good idea to do so.  There are many people and companies who offer free or custom Twitter profile designs, but at the very least (or until your custom design is completed), you can modify your Twitter profile color scheme and upload a different background.  Check out the simple steps below to get started.

First, here is my branded Twitter page. 

To change your Twitter profile page design, log into your Twitter account and select the “Settings” tab in the upper right navigation bar.  The Settings page opens with all of your contact and personal information displayed.  At the center of that page below your username is a navigation bar as shown below.

Select the “Design” tab from the navigation bar.  The Design page opens with thumbnail images showing the available Twitter themes that you can choose from as shown below.  [Read more]
