When you put a hash tag on a tweet it becomes much easier to find for people searching on a particular topic.  Alex Mandossian uses #tss when he and his clients (and prospects) discuss his Teleseminar Secrets program on Twitter.

#tcot hash tag is the most popular

Here is a video from social media expert Mari Smith where she explains in detail how to use hash tags and how to track popular tags.

Your Companion to the Social Web

SocialToo is your companion to the social Web. SocialToo can help you become a social power user, by complementing your social experience, giving you all the tools you need to harness the potential of your network.

We want to help make the social networks you belong to an easier place to build relationships, not just followers, and for that reason, we have built tools to make this possible:

Twitter

  • Auto Follow – SocialToo can help you to automatically follow those Twitter accounts that follow you, within 24 hours.
  • Follower Synchronization – If you have been using Twitter for a while and just joined SocialToo, you can catch up your followers for a one-time fee of only $5, and your list will be in sync.
  • Auto Unfollow – Should you choose, you can automatically unfollow people who stop following you. You can also set your account to automatically unfollow accounts whose activities appear to be spam-like, including rapid following and unfollowing within a few days.
  • Auto Messaging – You can welcome new Twitter followers with an automatic direct message to new followers, and personalize the note by their first or last name.
  • Auto Message Blocking – If you don’t like automatic messaging, you can block all auto messages from fellow SocialToo users.
  • Social Surveys – SocialToo offers a robust set of online survey tools, where you can create and send polls to Twitter and other social networks, customizing the message.

Twitter

  • Social Surveys – You can also send your online surveys to Facebook, in addition to or instead of your Twitter account. You can post the survey to your Facebook profile or send it to specific friends.
  • Short Profile URLs – We can give you a unique URL to give friends so they can easily find your Facebook page. “Yourusername.socialtoo.com” automatically redirects to your Facebook profile, so nobody has to remember your account number.

Email

  • Nightly Updates – We can send you e-mails every 24 hours with a list of people who started following you on Twitter, as well as those who unfollowed you in the last day. We will also include the last tweet you made prior to their leaving, to help you continue to improve your social experience. This can result in strengthened relationships and a stronger connection with you and your followers.
  • Forward Your Twitter E-mails to Us – By just forwarding the e-mails you get from Twitter stating you have a new follow to autofollow@socialtoo.com, if you have an account with us and have given us your Twitter username and password we will follow those individuals, instantaneously! Or, just sign up, enable auto-follow in your admin panel and we’ll follow your new followers a little bit later. It’s your choice!

The word of the day is “CAPTCHA.” That is the name for the little picture boxes at the bottom of most smart forms today. It prevents the bots from spamming the recipients of those lovely forms and helps identify a human request from a digital one.

Import RSS Fees onto Your Site https://www.cherishedsolutions.com/uncategorized/import-rss-fees-onto-your-site-the-goods-the-bads-the-ugly/ Thu, 03 Feb 2011 03:10:07 +0000 http://solutionstocherish.com/blog/?p=121 Continue reading Import RSS Fees onto Your Site]]> As seen on Daily Opt

Bloggers, Developers, SEM’s,

I wanted to inform you of a new RSS feed tool that Google has launched to help website owners and developers import RSS feeds on their websites. This tools is fun and easy to use and the best part is that Google “once again” makes development easy for the common user to import dynamic content immediately within a web page.

This custom RSS feeder will import content from other blogs of interest straight into your site. The feed is derived from XML data then generated through Javascript. All you need to do is install a simple line of javascript code to make the gadget work. You can also customize this RSS feed to match your site by text color, padding, link design, and borders of your choice and colors.

Well, this is certainly exciting, but there is a downside to using this tool. For all SEM’s and SEO experts when you import this tool into your site your ability for Google to crawl new content, links, and data is non-existent. The feeds are generated by a javascript code that is not converted to HTML code once the page loads. Therefore, the Gadget for SEO purposes and link building is strickly irrelevant.

All in all if you do want to import your favorite blog entries onto your site easily then I would suggest using this tool. Most of all for the fun of it…”

Here is the link to the Google Gadget – Custom RSS Tool
