Yotwits - Automation a step in the right direction for Twitter?

Sharing things on twitter has become one of the important thing in your daily life and to make things to be shared easily twitter has come up with new tool called as Yotwits. Yotwits has become one of the new important feature of twitter where things have been shared again and again to get the things easily done.if ur a big twitterrer and dont have time to twitt the things you can have automated tool which can be added into twitter stream, Auctions, blogs, stocks, horoscopes, and more can be added to your Twitter account.

There are still lot of tool coming up where u can retwitt again and again but we have to think whether twitting again and again whether is it a good thing and do you think this is the way to share link on the world’s most popular microblogging tool?

YoTwits works in three steps:

1.Pick your feeds,

2.Set how often you want it to broadcast and

3.Then link it to your Twitter accounts.

There are lots of feeds but you can customise and make it simpler to your own custom feed

For Example : Imagine you love every article on Facebook. Facebook that we put out via the @mashable Twitter account. Well, with YoTwits, you can set the user, set a specific keyword, and then tell YoTwits to make you automatically retweet anything @mashable says with “Facebook” in the title. You could retweet a whole lot more.

The overall concept is simple but not a novel the main thing is making things without reading in a bussiness field may cause a problem because people may believe you everytime and keep trusting on you thinking that your tweeting. If some day people see the same things again and again on your twitter then it may be a problem and you may loose the trust what the people had on you ...

So its a question to the people on the twitter whether they are gonna trust people even they see things again and again on twitter?

Flickr V/S Flicker

V/S

In these days the domain names are similar just because of a single word difference in the domain name there is a traffic difference and even the ranking report to explain these line the following example given below may make you think what is the actual difference where two majo brands have been involved.

Flickr , Yahoo’s photo property, is one of the largest picture sharing services in the world. However, if you were to ask a group of random people how you spell its domain, a high percentage would likely tell you F-L-I-C-K-E-R. That’s not surprising, but it’s undoubtedly longstanding a headache for Yahoo. And now the people who own Flicker.com are looking to capitalize on it.

If you visit the site, you’ll see that it now exposes its traffic stats in the lower right-hand corner. It’s a blatant attempt to make money, at the very least from advertisers willing to throw links on the page. Or presumably to get someone to buy the domain.

Here are the stats they publish:
Flicker by the numbers:
Unique Visits:3.6MM /yr
Source:Direct Navigation (95.74%)
Outbound Clicks:400K /yr
CPC Keyword Values:(Photography equipment)$2.50 -$3.00 /click
Daily Value to Advertisers:$2700.00 - $3300.00
(Data is approximate, tracking by Google Analytics)
Below that is a link to contact them.

You’ll notice that over 95% of the traffic comes from direct navigation. That’s because if you Google “Flicker,” you’ll find flickr.com first, and flicker.com nowhere to be found on the first page of results. And that means that millions of people each year are typing in “flicker.com” likely expecting flickr.com. Certainly, that’s worth something, and Flicker knows it.
But the people who own flicker.com probably shouldn’t hold their breath for Yahoo to buy the domain anytime soon.

After all, they’re busy to make money.and kills the domain in cheap value.And so the site is resorting to rather shady tactics. While its main page claims that it’s down for maintenance, there’s a Twitter button right next to that to tweet out that it’s down for maintenance. You might think that most sites wouldn’t want people to know that they’re site is down, but not Flicker. That’s because they clearly want people to advertise on their new “down” website.
And it’s working, look at how many people are actually tweeting garbage out You can be sure that a lot of them think Yahoo’s Flickr is down, and they’re just trying to let others know. Flicker has its own twitter account has highlighted the things that highlights all these tweets.

On the site below its maintenance message, you’ll find a bunch of links to camera equipment (the same group Flicker directly appeals to with its ‘CPC Keyword Value’ stats). And just to keep things even more shady, all of these links are bit.ly shortened links.

So this is tough to decide the to choose the domain and if they have a letter difference then it may have an effective value during SEO..

No Internet Required for Twitter now

A lot of things make Twitter special. The 140-character restriction makes the writing more potent, because people are forced to get to the point instead of rambling on. Anyone can search for things that are happening “right now,” as opposed to waiting hours (if not days) for Google to update its links. And unlike Facebook, discussions are open to the public, which encourages greater participation.

But one feature has been grossly overlooked in terms of what twitter helps stand out the ability to publish headlines to the Internet using only text-enabled cell phones. How is that special, you ask?

Imagine how confined Twitter would be if it were web-only, requiring both a browser and Internet access, like most social media platforms (i.e. blogs, YouTube, and to a lesser extent, Facebook). It would still work. You’d still get an ego boost with each new follower. But it wouldn’t be as popular or used as often as it is today.

The makers of Twitter are seemingly aware of this. “Sending updates to Twitter while you’re away from your computer makes things much more interesting,” reads documentation on the devices section of Twitter profiles. “It’s all done through text messages (aka ‘SMS’), which you probably use all the time anyway, so there’s not much to learn.”

A couple of things to note from that. First, SMS is “more interesting” when coupled with Twitter because the publication of social media doesn’t have to wait for a browser, access to the Internet, or portable technology like an iPhone or BlackBerry. With Twitter, there’s no more “I’m blogging this when I get back to my desk.” You can report from the field as a story happens — so long as you have cell reception, which is better than the 76.2 percent of the world without Internet access.

Secondly, since you likely use your phone “all the time anyway,” the frequency in which you contribute to Twitter is much higher than other forms of social media, which again, typically require more advanced technology enabled with an Internet connection. I think it’s safe to say most people are a lot closer to their phone than their Internet connection. And without a smartphone and data plan, the two are mutually exclusive.

As an added bonus, Twitter “by txt” lessens the effort needed to participate in social media, since you’re already using your phone more. If there’s one reason that independent their blogs, it’s because blogs require a lot of work. Since a Twitter account is much easier to maintain and update than a blog, its drop-out rate might be lower than other platforms in years to come.

Granted, other web services leverage text messaging to their advantage. I can find nearby movie times or restaurants by texting Google. And Yahoo can text me news feeds and sports scores. But Twitter is the only SMS service to enable social media for the general public, not just friends in your network (à la Facebook). No Internet required.

This why a common can make a impact by using twitter and can change life with a different level of style
