Retweeting and how to do it (part 1 of 2)

You know that Twitter has introduced a retweeting feature a while ago now. When I started this blog, I posted a slideshare presentation by viral marketer Dan Zarrella called ‘Science of ReTweets’.

Check it out, it has some interesting data. In this post, I take a closer look at Zarrella’s retweeting tips, feal free to share your thoughts and own experiences with retweeting.

Of course I will look at the subject from a marketing viewpoint, not from a personal one. Don’t forget Twitter is that too: a way of just staying in touch with people, meeting new ones, status updates and so much more.

New features for HootSuite Twitter client: WordPress integration, previews and more

Just read that the folks at HootSuite have added some new features to their Twitter client (or should I say Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn/Ping.fm client?).

What’s up? First of all HootSuite added support for WordPress blogs which enables bloggers, using WordPress of course, to schedule and cross-post content to their WordPress accounts (as HootSuite already enables you to with all the above mentioned social media and, yes, blogs are social media).

TypePad bloggers, including me, will have to be patient or not use HootSuite at all. After all, TypepAd enables to post to most social networks, right?

Back to HootSuite: on the blog the people behind the Twitter client say “WordPress is the first blog platform officially supported by HootSuite”. You know what that means.
