Twitterific is a free iPhone / iPod touch client that, utilizing the location services built into the device, can tell you what is being tweeted "nearby". I'm not really into marketing at all but I like techology and I think this is a really neat feature. Another client, Tweetdeck (PC/Mac/Linux) has a search and alert feature is really cool as well because you can keep tabs on what people are currently discussing with regards to topics that interest you. For example, I am anticipating the release of Fedora 11 Linux and by searching for "Fedora 11" in Tweetdeck, I can see tweets about it in real-time. This type of search capability has led to me using Twitter more and more and finding all kinds of interesting people (also led me to this blog). I'll have to check out some of the clients mentioned in this article, thanks.

Perhaps I've shunned Facebook for too long? Yes, clearly I'm a late adopter.

I'm liking Facebook more, and here's why. First, there's way too much hype around Twitter for marketing purposes right now. Sure it works for Ashton, Oprah and Shaq and I'm a lot less sure about businesses who benefit significantly from Twitter -- the only one I know of is that Korean BBQ truck in LA. Second, Twitter for me is very low signal-to-noise ratio for things I'm interested in (I have 224 following, 249 followers, 1,074 updates right now), compared to Facebook, where I have a slightly larger number of friends. I guess it would be expected that I care a lot more about my friends' status than random folks in Twitter. Third, Twitter is very real-time and temporary - who looks at tweets beyond page one? But who has time to spend in front of Twitter all day? Facebook status/wall is a lot like Twitter, except it has threaded comments, "like" ratings, and you can post anything, not just 140 characters of text, and I like that. Fourth, I get way too much Twitter spam, which means there are a lot of people trying to market to me on things I don't care about. I expect to get an offer from a rich Nigerian via Twitter very soon. Well, I'm not yet firmly decided. I use both Twitter and Facebook fairly often, but I am a lot more satisfied with Facebook.

I'm still weighing how much time / energy to spend on Twitter versus other marketing channels. I had never heard of 50% of these tools you referenced. And b/c my general complaints with Twitter have been (1) lack of quality demographic info about participants and (2) weak search functionality / analytics - these are all tools I should check out anyway. You saved me some time on my research. Thanks. This is a really timely write-up for me. I’m still weighing how much time / energy to spend on Twitter versus other marketing channels.
