For Beginners
If you're just getting started, be sure to follow these tips.
1. Set up your profile: Give people a glimpse beyond what your tweets reveal.
2. Include a picture: Make sure you add a photo of yourself so that your tweets will be more personal.
3. Create a simple and short Twitter name: The longer your Twitter ID, the more space it takes up, and having a complicated name can make it hard for people to respond to or mention you.
4. Just do it: Don't just lurk-jump into the conversation.
5. Make your profile link something that tells more about you: Share your blog, an about me page, or any other page that offers more information about the person behind the tweets.
6. Share photos: Post your photos on Twitter to shake things up a bit and add some interest to your stream.
7. Use proper grammar: Occasional abbreviations are passable, but make sure that your tweets are readable.
8. Use your real name: Build your personal brand by choosing your real name as your Twitter ID.
9. List your location: Many people use Twitter for local networking, so they'll be more likely to follow you if they know where you are.
10. Learn the lingo: If you don't know what DM, @, RT, and other Twitter symbols and words are, look them up or ask.
11. Don't rush to build your network: Don't follow hundreds of people right away-allow your following to grow organically.
12. Reply to someone with @: Place an @ sign in front of someone's name on Twitter to write to them specifically, or simply just mention them-they will be notified that you did so.
13. Shrink your URLs: Use a URL shortener like TinyURL or is.gd to make it easier to fit into 140 characters.
14. Use your mobile device: Tweet from your phone, iPod, or other mobile device to keep your Twitter updated on the go, using the mobile web or text.
15. Find your friends: Use Twitter's search in order to find your friends, organizations, and others that you may want to follow o
Localley is a tool that broadens the functionality of Facebook Places feature by letting you check in various places using a date and time in the future. Of course it is disappointing when you realize that you and a friend were at the same place (a live show or a movie theatre maybe) but missed a chance of meeting there because you had no idea of each other's presence in this very place. This is the problem solved by Facebook Places: it lets you show your friends where you currently are and also see who is nearby at this very moment.
Localley goes one step further: we eliminate the disappointment that is inevitable when you find out you missed an event you really wanted to attend only because you had no one to go with - and later found out that some friends were at this very event and you could easily join them. Localley lets you share your plans to go somewhere with your friends and even invite them to join you - which will quickly solve a problem of a company.
Youtube is the second largest search engine. As a blogger, I drive more traffic to my blog from my Youtube screencasting videos.
To check Youtube speed
Have you noticed this? Videos take more time to load. At that time, you can check the speed of your Youtube videos with bar chart in the specification of world, country, State, city, Your ISP.
Comment search in Youtube
Before creating and uploading any videos on Youtube, just type the keyword of your niche or video content in comment search and find out what’s being said about your keyword and your niche.
For example, I searched for SEO.
http://www.youtube.com/comment_search?q=seo
While submitting your videos as video response to other video or even in your video,
Do remember, you can submit a video only once as video response. If you submit the same video into many places Youtube will take it as a video response to only the last video to which you submitted as video response.
Are you creating video episodes or video in series? If yes, then the new Youtube design helps to you. Submit your next part video as video response.
For eg: If you are creating video series as part 2, 3, 4, etc… Then submit the Part 3 video as video response in part 2.
The new Youtube will show your own video in video response as separately and other Youtube user submitted video responses as together.
Keyword search only in title
In Youtube, type any word and hit search button. It will show the results based on the keyword used in title, description, and tag. Sometimes when it shows the unrelated results, it will be annoying to user. If you want the results only from title then,
You have to type as “allintitle:keyword”
Eg: allintitle: wordpress. It will show videos only the keyword wordpress presents in title.
To Exclude some of the term
While searching in Youtube to exclude some of the keywords type – and followed by your unwanted keyword.
For eg: wordpress –tutorial. You will get wordpress videos but not the videos have keyword ‘tutorial’.
Automatically fill in the blanks
Put asterisk in middle of the keyword sentence.
For eg: “thesis * theme”.
Youtube understands that the user needs content related to the keyword thesis theme and for all the keywords filled something between them.

Tag
Give all the relevant tags to your videos. Don’t try to give duplicate tags.
For example don’t give all these as tags: video blogging, video blogging tips, video blogging guide, and video blogging benefits. Youtube automatically removes some of your duplicate tags.
Create playlist
Do you have the series videos like Part 1, Part 2, etc. If yes, then collect all your videos and create a playlist for your videos. It will be very helpful for viewers to see the series of Youtube videos.
Title
Add the words “Exclusive” or “Leaked videos” in video title. (Don’t spam).
Left Most Title
Give the important keywords in the left most of your title. It will increase your views as Youtube search gives more importance to left most part of title.
Submit in video sharing sites
Distribute videos on popular video sharing sites and drive more traffic to your website/blog. See our Google profiles to view which video sharing websites Fourblogger is using.
Brand your videos
Whenever you upload a video, add your own logo in videos.
It builds brand value.

Use Annotations Differently – Think Out-of-the-Box
You can use YouTube annotations efficiently with your creative idea. You can use “Don’t Click here” text as annotation text. When people watch your videos, they often wants to click on it as it is human nature. You can link the “Don’t click here” annotation to your channel or any of your particular videos. When more people clicks on annotations, that videos automatically get selected as “Related videos”. But remember don’t use your think-out-of-the-box ideas for spamming purpose. User may dislike or flag your video.

Diaspora is the social network that puts you in control of your information. You decide what you'd like to share, and with whom. You retain full ownership of all your information, including friend lists, messages, photos, and profile details.
"Share what you want, with who you want." Full Control: built-in
If you take twenty photos at a party, you can show the three least-incriminating to your coworkers, while posting the whole set to your friends. Your coworkers can't find out that they're seeing the expurgated version. Future employers can't either.
You can post updates to everyone, to just your close friends, to just your family, or to any other subset of your friends. It's easy to make these groups, called "aspects," and it's straightforward to share different things with different aspects.
Diaspora doesn't expose your information to advertisers, or to games you play, or to other websites you visit. It's inherently private - you tell Diaspora who gets to see those pictures of your kids, and only those people will see them. Period. Choose a home, make an account, and invite your friends to join you! Take back your network.
You can find this feature by clicking on “Settings” (gear icon) in the HootSuite dashboard and selecting “RSS/Atom”. Clicking the plus sign will allow you to enter your feed URL and set the parameters of how RSS feed items get posted to your social networks.
One cool feature of using RSS feeds with HootSuite is that it allows you to prepend your social media updates with text. That means you can automatically have “New Post” or “Update” inserted in front of your article title. You can take the possibilities with this anywhere. Perhaps you have a hashtag associated with your website. With this feature, you will be able to automatically have that hashtag prepended in your post.
Once you click “Save Feed” you will be all ready to go. Next time you post an article on your blog or website, wait a few hours and check your sent messages in HootSuite. You will see that your blog title and a link are automatically sent to the social network that you designated. This means you should be very careful when creating titles for your articles. You want to be concise and favor keywords at the beginning of the article title (you should be doing this for SEO purposes anyway).
After that you will be asked how often to check for feed items. This all depends on how many articles you publish per day. A blogger who posts multiple articles a day may want to set the frequency to 3 hours or less.
After going to Settings > RSS/Atom and then clicking the plus sign, you will be presented with a box that will prompt you to fill in several parameters. HootSuite offers you the ability to control how often your feed is checked for new posts, how many new posts to send at a time, and prepended text for your post.

What is an example of a fundamental truth?
7 fundamental truths that will change your life.
The lives of countless people flow in a normal way without even realizing that time has passed. To do something extraordinary in life, to achieve ultimate success, it is very important to be a good observer. And the main focus of that observation should be on oneself. Most of the time people are in autopilot mode, so even if they consciously know the most important things in life, they can't focus on it or they are unable to work on it. Most of the time what you want to do is not exactly what you want it to be because you have lost focus on the important and basic truths. The moment, you make a mistake, you reveal the truth for a while to get yourself back on track but very often you forget about it again. 'Accepting a few basic truths' can change a person's life. If you go through the history of successful people, you will see that the following seven basic truths are their main incantation.

The secret of success
The important of 3 personalities inside us to be successful in life.
How to strenthen the foundation of success
How to combine Dreamer, Realist and critics
We all strive for success, everyone wants to achieve extreme success. We all work hard and use our intellect to succeed, but in most cases, success does not come as we expected. We repeatedly try to figure out why we are failing or why success is not coming. I would like to introduce to three people with you, if you talk to them in the right way, can make them agree you can overcome any obstacle and move on towards success.
Strengthening the foundation is crucial for any ultimate success and only these three people can build that foundation for you. Surely there is a lot of suspense about who these three people are, where to find them! Don't worry, I will introduce you to them but you have to take the responsibility of convincing them by talking to them in the right way. It's very straightforward, but because we have no real idea about it, we get demotivated when there is a small obstacle in the way of success and we give up.
If there is a disagreement between these three people, you will not be able to set goals properly, success is a long way off. These three are needed from the very beginning, that is, when you are going to make a decision to achieve something or to set a goal. Any one of these three personalities can play a major role whenever wants but it is very important to bring these three in balance to create success.
A significant percentage of students, business people or government employees lose interest in their field because they do not set goals properly. To walk the path without a specific goal, their Powerful Subconscious Mind cannot act on their behalf. The subconscious mind does not know what to do until a clear picture is created.

Flashcards are a great tool for memorizing just about anything and they are simple to create. Just write a term on one side of an index card and the term's definition on the other side. Once you have a stack of them, you can quiz yourself to see which ones you know, putting the ones you knew in one pile and the ones you didn't in another pile. Even if you didn't know any of the terms before you started making the cards, you'll find that through the process of creating the cards you actually learned several of them.
I would suggest you check out the free ones first and see if that is enough information for you or if you and your brand need further features for you to be able to analyze and make decisions about how you should proceed with your upward spiraling progression. So, I have taken some time to track down a few tools you could use to analyze your influence on Twitter so you don't have to scurry around the Internet just trying to find them. Without further ado, here are 18 tools for you to try out. Enjoy!
