Get tweeting!

Creators of Twitter  first came up with the idea, – the punchy 140-character limit ,that element  of it is the factor turned up as a miracle.

Get tweeting!

Twitter is simple to use. Most basic form of is an user name ,password  ,picture to  illustrate ’tweets’ ,then enter text & hit “tweet”

On the other hand,someone else says something interesting. In that case, hit  “reply” to display text to them even if not following our account.

As the number of people you follow grows, you might want a bit of free software to help you manage all the messages. Tweetdeck, Twhirl and Tweetie are all popular programs which run on your computer and grab messages from everyone you’re following, all those that mention you specifically and your private messages - and arrange them into easy-to-read columns and categories.

Don’t forget...

Twitter happens in real time, 24 hours a day. Expect to miss stuff if it’s not sent direct to you. Be succinct – you only have 140 characters  to say anything. Try not to repeat yourself, don’t use it just to sell goods and services (people soon get tired of the hard sell) and you should soon be picking up new online acquaintances almost daily.

Have fun with it, but like any social media once you've posted your message it could go anywhere - so proceed witha little caution.

Features of twitter

On the Go

Twitter is greatly facilitated several features which have proven to be very effective to draw followers attention. And these features can be greatly facilitated with mobile phones.

Fast Follow

Receiving information what people care about in real-time, is easy, just need to follow an account from a phone as users select’ follow twitter'. Nowadays Commercial Promotion are carried out with a display of feature in a storefront window or a website. This has been a great way to stay engaged with customers, regardless if they're on Twitter or not.

Uses in variety of purposes in many industries and scenarios.

Twitter has been used to organize protests, sometimes referred to as "Twitter Revolutions", 2011 Egyptian revolution, 2010–2011 Tunisian protests, 2009–2010 Iranian election protests, and 2009 Moldova civil unrest are some examples of them.

Twitter’s voice was had a strong impact that the governments of Iran and Egypt blocked the service in retaliation. In February 28, 2011 described Twitter and other social media as a "strategic weapons, which have the apparent ability to re-align the social order in real time, with little or no advanced warning."

The service is also used as a form of civil disobedience: in 2010, users expressed outrage over the Twitter Joke Trial by making obvious jokes about terrorism; and in the British privacy injunction debate in the same country a year later, where several celebrities who had taken out anonymous injunctions, most notably the Manchester United player Ryan Giggs, were identified by thousands of users in protest to traditional journalism being censored.

@RedCross

Red Cross @RedCross

Red Cross uses Twitter for donor support and to mobilize communit

ies in times of need

The Challenge

With the support of volunteers and donations, the American Red Cross (@RedCross) helps prevent and relieve suffering through worldwide outreach such as aiding victims of natural disasters. The instantly recognizable organization now has over 500,000 volunteers and 32,000 employees in nearly 600 locally supported chapters.

The Solution

@RedCross first used Twitter to spread general service announcements such as encouraging its followers to learn CPR; however during the 2007 California wildfires, the organization realized that Twitter could mobilize people to action when it used the platform to direct victims to shelters. “It was a watershed moment for us,” says Wendy Harman, Director of Social Strategy at the American Red Cross. “We realized that Twitter was a great way to provide valuable real-time tips in times of crises where every second counts. Twitter users also helped us share that information by retweeting shelter locations online and then extending that information offline by telling their neighbors.”

With this success, @RedCross decided to create local chapter Twitter accounts to develop deeper relationships with the community. Accounts like @HawaiiRedCross relay local information such as flood cleanup tips. And as an organization that stands on the shoulders of its volunteers in the field, @RedCross decided to enlist digital volunteers to help provide tips, resources and information during crises.

The Results

Twitter users actively engaged with the #PerfectGift campaign with Retweets and Replies, helping @RedCross raise the full $10,000 through Nemark’s donation.

“We now have nearly 300 local Twitter accounts and over 200 digital volunteers,” says Harman. “Our successful donation drive can be attributed to Twitter’s active community. On an average day the Red Cross is mentioned 4,000 times across the social web, of which over 60% comes from Twitter. We are only beginning to fully realize how Twitter can help empower donors, volunteers, and all stakeholders to carry out the mission of the American Red Cross. We look forward to running more Twitter programs.”

A NEW PHOTO APP IS BORN!

Now it won’t be that much time-consuming to upload and share photos one by one. With Facebook’s newest Camera App everyone can take as much pictures, upload and share them all at once plus it also features a feed of your friend or family’s photos. The launch was unexpected and although it offers users similar tool to Instagram it is still a big relief and a hit for all Facebook photo enthusiasts like myself. It is lately the easiest and most appealing way to upload your pictures, and your family and friends locally and overseas will see the photos in just one snap and everybody will surely enjoy and be thankful because with this new application and the rest of Facebook’s features like chat, message and video calls, the distance is nil.

Grooving with Twitter

Grooving with Twitter

Twitter Updates 

One of the most useful tools that I've come across that leverages Twitter is called GroupTweet. It basically allows you to create a group contact list that amalgamates all of the 'tweets' from your team. This adds some important functionality that I mentioned was missing from Twitter and makes it much easier for the entire team to get updates on activities and priorities/issues that team members are working on. There's a great site that includes an inventory of Twitter related products that is also worth browsing for anyone exploring the use of twitter at Twitter Tools. 



Getting Your Groove On 


Something else we've been experimenting with is a way to establish a highly collaborative, document and knowledge sharing solution for the project team with the real time updates of Twitter and aggregating this into a wider project and documentation portal. One of the products we're looking at is Microsoft's Groove. Groove is part of the Office 2007 product suite and it allows you to create a project collaboration workspace with file sharing, discussion groups, shared calendars and a number of other colloboration tools. What makes it particularly powerful is that it relies on an encrypted, peer-to-peer mechanism to share information with team members and supports this with real-time synchronization. This means team members will always have the latest versions of every artifact in the project workspace and Groove syncs this data real-time and when you're disconnect it will sync the minute you're connected. This makes it very easy to share information securely across with even third parties like contractors or vendors you might be working with (without the traditional VPN/RSA burden). If you use Microsoft sharepoint you can publish artifacts to the Sharepoint library when they're ready for broader consumption and also enable file-level versioning of all project related artifacts. Now add in the real-time broadcasts of Twitter feeds (you can use theTwitterbox plug-in on your site with the GroupTweet product) and suddenly you have this remarkable colloboration framework that conveys the real 'pulse' of a project. It basically allows the major constraint of agile projects, co-located teams (see below), to be lifted.

As it comes to users Twitter has circled all over the globe only with upgrade in features i.e., user-friendly, compatibility, entertaining and options of own language.

     Translation at Twitter

    Twitter is translated through their Translator Center by a vibrant community of volunteers from all over the world. These growing groups of upward from 350,000 passionate users have proven to be indispensable in our efforts to make Twitter available to everyone in the world. With their help, we have been able to launch Twitter in Indonesian, Arabic, Russian, Thai, English, German, Filipino, Finnish, Portuguese, Hindi, Polish, Norwegian, Traditional Chinese, Italian, Korean, Dutch, Urdu, Simplified Chinese, Farsi, Hebrew, Danish, Swedish, Japanese, Hungarian, Spanish, Turkish, Malay, French.

Skype Conclusively

With the Birth of Skype into the world of Information Systems, Skype has proved to be User friendly with no installation hassles. Skype is downloadable as free Software.  The benefit of computer voice calls via the internet is that it allows the user to call regardless of distance.

Cost component is major concern in this competive world.Skypes calls are free from Skype to Skype, and less expensive from Skype to phone.  not only provides the user convenience but also saves money.

Skype has advantages over other collaborative tools as any missed calls (either domestic or international) from a computer can be routed to mobile phones as a call divert which is optional.

Another special feature of Skype is its ability to make video calls and also the easy to transfer files quickly from one person’s account to another person’s computer.

The brilliant innovation of Skype has made communicating easier and has broken down a number of barriers such as distance, time, and money.

The disadvantages of Skype is that it  requires your computer to be turned on and the software up and running in order to make calls and also as it prevents you from making and receiving calls when your computer is off.

Limited options exist for individuals who would like to use a typical land-line telephone with the Skype software other than a corded USB phone. Skype officially endorses only two types of traditional land-line telephones that can be used with its service: the cordless RTX Dual phone handset and the Belkin Desktop Internet phone. Special Phones are made for Skype users that use Wi-Fi technology.

The other issue is the idea of Skype subscribers who has difficulty using Skype customer service and the non-existence of contact customer number and only an online help form that allows users to submit a support request.

Looking at all my articles written Skype is really trying its level best to maintain being a market leader in VOIP and working very hard at it.

Even in comparation of advantages to Disadvantages Skype is a good collaborative tool with full short comings.In my analysis Skype needs to work extra hard in the Customer services, come up with more Three Dimensional virtuals world  versions.

Good to hear of its latest version of Skype which offers the clearest , crispest , Sharpest quality video calling and High Definition capability.All the user need is to have an HD quality Webcam and everyone can see the Video in High Definitions.
