As Twitter has grown immensely recently, many companies such as Vistaprint are starting to realize that it can be used as an effective tool for their businesses.

These virtual assistants are able to construct significant content and connect you using this social media tool.

Here are some tips on choosing a good virtual assistant: -Make sure to let your assistant know about your goals and media plan. -Make sure your assistant has good common sense -Make sure your assistant can adapt to exchanges online -Make sure your assistant uses twitter to build relationships with followers rather than just using it as a message board.

As a few social networking heavyweights seize control of the majority of market share, there’s still money to be made filling in the gaps, through clever applications that round out the site experience or for tying several together into one convenient tool. Seesmic is positioning to cover both these fronts by buying ping.fm, one of the more popular tools for updating multiple social networking sites. If they can successfully merge the two programs into one dynamic product, they could actually outlast the services and grow as an extremely useful Tweeting tool.

Find Your Twitter Name Here

I found a new Twitter service this week called Tweexchange and found it very useful when setting up new Twitter accounts. The site allows user to determine whether a specific username is available on Twitter. If the name you want is already taken, it will suggest other names. It also provides a for-pay service to notify you if a name is on “pending removal” and becomes available to you. I didn’t know this service exists, so I found the article interesting and informative. Tweetexchange also includes a mention of a “GoDaddy” partnership which shows which domain names similar to your search are available.

After reading an interesting article on Cnet regarding new technology coming out in 2010, I noticed that many of these announcements were made via twitter. It is interesting that the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (on January 7) was announced on Twitter rather than other traditional forms of med. The main topics of interest in 2010 according to twitter announcements are tablets, e-book readers and Smart televisions. I like the mention of the iPhone app to navigate your way through the convention because this shows how integral smart phones are becoming and shows a sample of how they will be used in the near future. I look forward to reading twitter updates of the show and about these new electronics and see what is unveiled at the show.

Twitter and Customer Service

USA Today came out with an article this week about how Twitter is changing customer service online. It was extremely interesting because customers are more satisfied with their experiences due to the fact it was such a quick response and got right to the heart of the problem. Although, this has become a trap since it is creating “instant gratification” which has set expectations at a higher level and when companies to do respond to problem instantaneously. But, many Fortune 100 countries such as Dell, Comcast, and Vistaprint have found a lot of success with it and have changed gears to cater to the online community.

Twitter Dumping “Suggested Users”

Twitter is dumping the “suggested users” list? Since it has emerged, I’ve been trying to figure out how Twitter decided who to suggest I should become friends with. Well, apparently that was part of the problem since there was no rhyme or reason to it and exactly why they are now scrapping the model, but not the idea completely. They plan on redoing it and try to find a more systematic way to suggest people to follow. Twitter also released a statement stating that they will be adding new features in the upcoming future as well.

Twitter on Xbox?

It is interesting to see how Twitter has become so integrated throughout the web as well as in our daily lives. Microsoft just announced that Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm will now be available for Xbox live users with a Gold Account. With this update, you will now be able to update your Twitter status while playing video games on your T.V. How will this change how we interact with our T.V. and video games in general? Are we becoming more social via electronic means or are we depersonalizing human interaction? I think that it is helping us connect on a global scale and will eventually bring us closer together in every aspect of our lives.
