TIMELY.IS is an amazing new Twitter application that analyzes your most recent tweets (well, the last 199 of them, to be exact) and measures them against the retweet rate of your followers to give you a statistical analysis of what YOUR best “Tweeting Times” are throughout the day. It compares both native and classic retweets as well, if you’re aiming to acquire one type of status forwarding or the other.

If you’re a budding (starving?) musician, today’s online social outlets could be the PERFECT avenue to fame and fortune for you. Everyone is pretty much on the bandwagon when it comes to Facebook and Twitter, which makes the possibility of your musicianship spreading virally a very real one indeed.
But, how about if instead of just linking to your music, you could require a “shout” from your listeners in order to download the tune? Doing so would guarantee you at least the exposure to the friend circles you are once-removed from.
Well, you can! Using Tweet for a Track, you can share a link to your social network that requires any visitor to republish your link to their friends before getting access to the audio file you have uploaded.
It’s free to use, so get to it!

If you want to effectively establish yourself or your company as a respectable and successful persona or entity on Twitter, then you should follow these guidelines while you tweet and follow.
Find a Twitter client you enjoy. Feature-wise, the abilities to create groups and to search the public timeline are the most desirable, so clients like TweetDeck, Mixero, HootSuite, or Tweetizen would be optimal choices.
Don’t be afraid of conversation. In short, the technical purpose of Twitter is to be able to relay messages to another person. So, don’t be afraid to write a personalized thank you tweet when someone follows you. It will give them more inclination to come back to your profile, or even possibly, subscribe to your profile for phone updates!
Measure your success. Keep track of your Twitter Grade, and always be on the look out for ways to beef up your score. Interested in learning how Twitter Grader works?
Watch and search the public timeline. This is THE best way to start conversations and meet new people! Search for hashtags and topics that are related to your realm of expertise. Answer people’s questions, ask some of your own. You’ll start to notice the floodgates have been opened, and the followers are pouring in.
Now you are on the way to being a truly successful Twitter user!
