3 Ways to Become Advanced Twitter User

Tanmay Social Network Leave a Comment

Twitter becomes a very popular social network. Various types of people live in Twitter for publishing or sharing their thoughts. Twitter is the place where you can meet with the famous blogger, International stars, writer, designer, student, teacher and much more. So it is worth to make yourself an advanced twitter user.
Tip: Control Twitter and Facebook From Your Email Account

1. Tweet from Gtalk

The first and common way to send a tweet is to tweet from your twitter account after logging into Twitter.com. Another popular method is to use desktop clients like TweatDeck. But some time it is annoying to download the desktop clients. While most of us use Gtalk for chat why not we use the Gtalk as a desktop client to send our tweets?
How to setup your Gtalk to send tweet from it
1. Log-in to your Gtalk.
2.  Visit Tweet.Im and sign up there in two steps:
Step 1. Put your twitter account user name and password for authentication.
Step2. Enter the Gtalk or Zabber user name.

3. After signing up successfully you will get a friend request from username@twitter.tweet.im. Accept the request.

4. Start to send your tweets like normal chatting with your friends. Your link will be automatically shortened.

2. Publish your latest tweet in your blog

If you are a blogger then you must want your visitor to see the latest tweet by you. There are about 25 plug-ins as alternative. But I’m always against of using too many plug-in as they make the site slower. Learn here how to add latest twitter update in your blog just using a PHP script.
Steps to meet your purpose:
1. Upload a picture with your preferred dimension.
2. Change the twitter user name and the image name with its path (Highlighted with Red color) in the following script.

<h2><a href="http://www.twitter.com/techtipsapp"> Follow @techtipsapp </a> On Twitter</h2> <div style="width:340px"> <div style="float:left; font-family:Myriad Pro,arial; font-size:14px; padding:5px 0px 0px 81px; min-height:60px; background:url(http://yoursite/img/image.gif) no-repeat;"> <?php // Your twitter username. $username = "techtipsapp"; // Prefix - some text you want displayed before your latest tweet. // (HTML is OK, but be sure to escape quotes with backslashes: for example href="link.html") $prefix = ""; // Suffix - some text you want display after your latest tweet. (Same rules as the prefix.) $suffix = ""; $feed = "http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:" . $username . "&rpp=1"; function parse_feed($feed) { $stepOne = explode("<content type="html">", $feed); $stepTwo = explode("</content>", $stepOne[1]); $tweet = $stepTwo[0]; $tweet = str_replace("&apos;", "'", $tweet); $tweet = str_replace("&lt;", "<", $tweet); $tweet = str_replace("&gt;", ">", $tweet); $tweet = str_replace("&amp;quot;", "&quot;", $tweet); $tweet = str_replace("&amp;lt", "<", $tweet); $tweet = str_replace("&amp;gt", ">", $tweet); $tweet = str_replace("&quot;", """, $tweet); return $tweet; } $twitterFeed = file_get_contents($feed); echo stripslashes($prefix) . parse_feed($twitterFeed) . stripslashes($suffix); ?> </div>

3. Place the script in suitable position of your sidebar.
You may have to adjust the design to fit with your theme template looks.

3. Schedule your tweets for future

Feeding your followers with tweets is a daily task to keep them updated. But if you plan to stay away from your computer for some days then you can schedule your tweets for future publication so that your followers do not miss your updates. Here are some free web services to schedule your tweets for future.
1. Twuffer.com: Twuffer.com is a free web service to schedule your future tweets which does not require any registration. Just log-on to the site and sign-in with your twitter account and password. Once you are signed in, you will get the dash board to type tweets with exact date and time of publication.


3. TweetLater.com: Another great website that arranges your tweet to be scheduled for future. Register first and then log-in with your user name password chosen when registering. After logging in authenticate your connection with twitter by providing your twitter user name and password. After authentication you will be redirected to TweetLater page to set your tweets for future.
