How to use the new Twitter Linkedin connection properly

Everyone is all astir over Linkedin finally connecting its status updates to twitter, but in my opinion, this recent update is not as wonderful as it first seems. In fact, in the few days since it’s been started, I’ve already seen the quality of status updates on Linkedin degrade because people aren’t using #in for sending tweets, but instead are sending all of their tweets over to Linkedin. I’ve learned more about cats, sports teams, and other equally irrelevant information (for Linkedin) in the past few days because people haven’t exercised the proper awareness of how to use the new Linkedin Twitter connection effectively.

How to use Twitter Lists to monitor topics of interest

Twitter lists is twitter’s version of groups

It’s similar to a group you might create on Tweetdeck or Seesmic, but there are several advantages to creating a list on twitter. The list feature allows you to organize the people you’re following on Twitter, or find new people to follow. When you look at the list you can get an overview of what those people are up to. So far that sounds like what Tweetdeck and Seesmic offer with their group feature, BUT the lists feature also allows you to add someone to your list that you aren’t following. So, for example, if you know someone who tweets a bit too often for your taste, but you’d still like to keep an eye on them, you can add them to a twitter list and then check up on them, without having to actually follow them.

How to use Search on Twitter

One of the features I like on Twitter is the search engine

Recently they’ve even improved it, so that you can do a search on twitter for a specific topic while logged in. You can search for industry specific topics, keywords, and phrases to see what people are tweeting about, in relationship to what you offer.

Twitter, Craigslist, Yahoo!, email Scams, and Internet Scams

Just like anything that has become popular Twitter is attracting scammers and frauds too

Post from Search Engine Optimizician.
You have heard all the horror stories about Craigslist. Before Craigslist there were scams and frauds using email, newspaper classified ads, and just about any other thing people use on any consistent basis. The Nigerian Scam is the first to come to mind and how about the Yahoo Christmas scam. As long as there is communication there will be scams and thieves. Email scams, internet scams and scams of all kinds are, sorry to say, here to stay.
