Finding Twitter's tops...

Thanks to Marifer for the tweet about reading The Essential Guide to Social Media, a free e-book by Brian Solis. He blogs at PR2.0, bub.blicio.us, and is among the original thought-leaders who paved the way for Social Media. Look PR2.0 over closely because there are at least 4 more valuable free e-books there to be downloaded and studied (hint: on the right sidebar at the bottom).

Twitt(url)y is a service that tracks what URLs people are talking about on Twitter and posts the top 100 most popular URLs over the last 24 hours on their home page. The 24 hours are constantly sliding, with an advanced algorithm in place, you always see what people are currently talking about. Today one of the rising stars, Twitter: Ultimate Time Waster or Great Tool?, is a recent presentation by Chris Winfield delivered to an SES Toronto audience that he posted on the 10e20 Blog.

"The best way to learn about Twitter is to have Twitter do my presentation," says Winfield, President and Co-Founder of 10e20 .

He tweeted the following series of questions starting at 4:45 PM EST, with no pre-planning or promotion around it at all:
By 6:04pm EST when he asked the final question he had more 275 answers - a presentation in less than 90 minutes. The 10e20 Blog has all of the answers plus a ton of other valuable ongoing information posted by more than a dozen authors who work at 10e20. It's a gold mine!

Thanks, another great post. I will check out tweets like me. I still am wondering if twitter would be an excellent tool to have rolling on a website almost like a chat for the users of your site with similar interest.For further information visit: http://thetwittersecret.com
