2. Outline
• Tweet Adder: Automatically follows
people for you, unfollows people who
don’t reciprocate, and allows you to find
tweeters with similar interests
• TweetDeck: Organizes all social media
• Secondary Accounts: Get mobile
updates from only the most interesting
tweeters!

3. Following Others
• Many theories on how to get the largest
twitter following
• Celebrities may have 800,000 followers
but only be following 50 people
• That’s seen as bad form for regular
people
• Try to follow everyone who follows you

4. Misconceptions
• Just because thousands of people are
following someone doesn’t mean they
pay attention to their feed
• So don’t be intimidated by those with
thousands of followers
• Only 2-5% of their followers actually
read their feed

5. Twitter Mobile
• Go into settings, click mobile, put in your
number, choose who you want mobile alerts
via text message from
• Best way to keep track of your favorite
tweeters
• However, a lot of people have direct
messaging set up
• If twitter has your number and your following
a lot of people they’ll send thousands of these
to your phone

6. Solution! : Secondary
Accounts
• Make a secondary account and set up
twitter mobile on that one
• Only follow people you don’t mind
getting direct messages from
• Receive text message alerts from only
the most interesting people

7. TweetAdder
• Costs less than $100
• Automatically follows people for you
• Without it you could go through lists of
people’s followers and manually add
them
• This takes forever and twitter only lets
you add 1,000 a day

8. TweetAdder
• You can set it up to add certain “types” of
people you’re interested in
• For example, people who have mentioned
keywords you’re interested in or list certain
things in their profile
• It also can automatically follow back people
who follow you
• Or unfollow people who don’t reciprocate

9. TweetAdder
• This may seem catty, but it’s actually
necessary
• Once you’re following over 2,000
people, Twitter only lets you add 10%
more than people following you
• So follow all the people you can, wait a
few days, unfollow people who didn’t
follow you back, repeat

10. TweetDeck
• Great for any form of social media
• Free
• Allows you to sort social media columns
• Columns include news feeds of
particularly interesting tweeters, your
facebook feed, people who have
mentioned you, or feeds for various
keywords
