Just trying to find out everyones opinion on twitter and the best way to use it?
What is your opinion on Twitter, should i include customers past work, to develop a portfolio?
Keep it relevant, or just use hundreds of ###!! Will this not just become spammy?

Personally I will begin by following any accounts I feel may be influential or interested in the field I am marketing. Out of 'Twitter courtesy' you will see roughly 20-40% of these follw you back. If there are any particular accounts I want to follow me I will mention one of their previous tweets before following them. That tends to work to an extent.
Once I have a following, with the companies actual Tweets I tend to Tweet articles, videos, pictures etc that are relevant to their interests e.g. An article on 'Podiatry vs Chiropody' with each of the terms hashtagged.I'll only hashtag certain words I think are relevant to the tweet.
Rather than RT other tweets I mentioned the person and put the Tweet via @whoeveritmaybe.
Also I find it important to add some sort of opinion to the informational tweets. It gives the account an element of humanization rather than just looking like a bot pushing out articles.
Also important to respond to any mentions no matter how negative/random they may seem at the time.
This is quite an over simplisation (and there are a lot more things I do) of what occurs but I think you get the jist of what I'm getting at
P.S - I wouldn't use hundreds of hashtags - I think even though you'll appear in more #searches# it will reduce the chance of followers engaging and any click throughs on content you're pushing

Sam,
I am not a Twitter expert by any means but I will tell you my thought on how to: Don't get the feeds and inundate people with every piece of news no matter how relevant it might be to the genre you are in. When I look today at those who have capitalized on Twitter with envy, it is the ones who use it intelligently and personalize it. They are not just Tweety birds with no music, they are putting out tweets to individuals as well as on the whole. They are not tweeting 50 i am here, there, looky, looky. With moz, they occasionally tweet check this out. With some of the really good SEO's who are great bloggers they will mention others when they see something good and relevant.Early in the craze we put up a site (I won't tell out of embarrassment) and our social dept (one person) decided that we would put a feed, get it out, etc. It worked in terms of ego gratification in that in a couple of months we had nearly two thousand followers. But we didn't. We had two thousand who said they were for whatever reason.
Again, keep it simple, keep it relevant, humanize it. Target it to the audience you serve and make them want to see it. Make them want to know: What's Sam thinking today?

How do your direct social media to use another picture when the web site is shared?
I set up a web site to raise funds for my nephew(www.helpmatt.org) and social media randomly picks a picture on the share. Unfortunately this picture is from happier times and sends a different message than we would like to prospective contributors. Is there a way to set the picture that is used when this web site link is shared on social media? www.helpmatt.org

Twitter cards - one account, various domains?
Hi guys, I have a number of events run by the same company, all with their own websites. For a number of reasons, these individual events don't have their own social channels. Instead, the company's main social channels are used to promote the events wherever possible. I want to implement twitter card markup into each of the sites and associate the markup with the company's main twitter account. Does anyone know whether it's possible to get twitter cards approved for one account across multiple domains? I'd hate to apply for one site using the account, only to find out I can't apply for others! So before I venture into the unknown, was hoping someone could shed some light on this. Cheers 🙂

Just how popular are some #Twitter Groups
Good Morning from 14 degrees C wetherby UK 🙂 As i sat on my grassy knoll puffing on a pipe overlooking the English country Land I wondered... just how do you measure the volume of users using hash tag twitter groups.... or put another way imagine you say to a client "Ok one idea is to get this friday meal deal promoted on #FF" The client then says... "So how many twitter users use the #FF" It a blunt but legit question & one I couldnt answer right now. So my question is please... "Is there a tool to measure frequency of use with regards to twitter hash tag groups" Thanks in advance 🙂

Find Facebook Likes and Google +1's Across An Entire Domain?
Does anyone know a good way to find the number of Facebook Likes or Google +1's across an entire domain? It looks like SEOMoz only shows these metrics for individual pages.

What is the best social backlink checker available right now?
I want a tool that i can enter a domain into and get all the social backlinks available. Preferably the tool that keeps the most recent database of this information. I'm willing to pay for the tool, it does not need to be free. Not sure if i'm using the right terminology here, by "social backlinks" i mean Facebook Shares, Twitter RT's, Google +'s, etc.

Is there a way on OSE or any other site to find the 50 most socially shared URLs on a given domain?
I'd love to see which URLs on a specific domain get socially shared the most. I know I can use OSE to say figure out exactly how much social sharing has happened on let's say this URL:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama But what if I want to figure out the top 50 most shared URLs across all of wikipedia.org. Is that possible on OSE or anywhere else? If not, do you have some ideas on how something similar could be achieved?0
