Webinar Recording: Twitter: Connecting the Promise to the Practice

Twitter has been buzzing for over two years, a lifetime for Internet technologies. Other technologies have come, peaked and gone away but Twitter has survived.

We talk about a number of services in the webinar, so get ready for a big ‘ol list of links:

• Twitter Search this links directly to the advanced search, which is much more useful
• TweetDeck this is a Twitter client that I’ve found useful, we’ve had some reports of some stability issues on Macs. So make sure to add your favorite Twitter client to the comments
• Twist graph the mentions of terms on Twitter
• Hoot Suite online tool to manage multiple Twitter profiles (good if you are “editing” Twitter for a company) and track clicks on shortened URLs in Twitter
• #apowerfulnoise the campaign page for Care’s sponsored hashtag effort
• Twestival homepage for one of the largest twitter centered fundraising efforts
• TipJoy the easiest way to directly raise money on Twitter

Questions? Comments things we missed, comment it up. Also if you want to follow me on Twitter my username is j8ke. Make sure to post your username in the comments!

[UPDATE] TipJoy has closed its doors. You can read more here. TipJoy had tons of advantages, but still couldn’t get enough traction to make it work. They even had a business model – which is more than we can say for Twitter. As I mentioned in the webinar direct fundraising on Twitter was complicated, perhaps too complicated to be widely adopted.
