Resolved question: Twitter asks: How can I determine the real celebrity to follow and not one of hte many impostors?

This is a little complicated. I just get a twitter account and the political expert do actually had someone who create an account in your name (written the wrong name, haha) and make post (which are deleted now). The expert was not yet on twitter at the moment, but was an impostor. As well, finally got a twitter account, and this person’s actual account has the word “verified” in it, which means that it has been verified that the actual person. Therefore, verify if celebrities you are tracking have the word “verifed” on their own. This only happens to people who tend to be imposters and not regular people such as you and I.

Check a few pages of some figures very public, as perhaps twitter kim kardashian or who and see if they have “Verified” on their own.

Oh, OK, I’ll give the example of the political expert I “m lol.En talking about the top of the real account you will see a brand verification and”account verified”, which means that it is the actual person; the imposter account does not have this.”

News – Flying Around With Hovercards

admin — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 02:32:58 +0000

Because many of you use twitter.com to read and write tweets, we’ve been spending some time focusing on ways to improve your experience on the site. Today, we’re introducing a feature called Hovercards that will be a handy way to interact with the folks behind each tweet.

On any timeline, as its namesake suggests, Hovercards are cards which appear when you hover over a username or avatar. The cards display additional information about the person and allow you to interact with them while staying within the context of your page.

One way we’ve found these cards to be useful is to find out more about retweeted people and follow them right there. You can also see more information with an expanded view of the card.

Sending direct messages to people you follow will also be possible with Hovercards so you can interact with tweeters without having to move off the page.

Hovercards will be rolled out in stages so not all of you will be seeing them right away.

How to Know Which Twitter Software to Buy

admin — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 04:11:21 +0000

By Brian Carr

Having quality Twitter software is one of the best things you can do if you’re trying to grow your business by using Twitter, one of the fastest growing sites on the internet. These programs can help you quickly grow a targeted list while helping you save hours of work.How do you know which software is worth buying and which is worth passing on? Here are some simple yet helpful tips:

1) You can quickly choose which Twitter accounts to follow and which to ignore. Quality Twitter software allows you to add people based on things like who they currently follow, what keywords they’re using in their Tweets, their geographic location, stuff like that.

2) You can quickly unfollow people who didn’t follow you back. Since there’s no point in following someone unless they’re following you, programs that automate the “unfollow process” can save you tons of time.

3) You can set up automated direct messages so that whenever someone follows you, you automatically send them a personalized message thanking them, or simply sending them a link to your website.

4) You can set up your Tweets in advance to go out at specific times. This way you won’t have to sit in front of the computer all day long sending out Tweets.

Luckily, there are plenty of great software packages available that offer these services, and most of these software are very reasonably priced, making Twitter software one of the best investments you can make for your business.

After all, we all know the money is in the (Twitter) list!
