Cable TV Options For My Tweeps

Category : Guest Posts

Thanks for coming back, get the free "Twitter and Wordpress Power Tools" ebook, as a token of our appreciation!

So how many people that love twitter love cable or satellite television?  Well, my guess is quite a few. Most people that are big into social networks also love to be entertained.  The problem for many tweeps is finding a great solution for there paid programming service that allows them to get the channels and programs they want and still keep the monthly fees within reason.

cox.com is a big provider of cable television programming to many Americans and they may offer a viable choice when it comes to finding a good programming selection and a good price.  The http://www.blogtelevision.net website also offers  a very competitive rate that must be reviewed if you are in the market for a new service provider. Both of these companies offer a low monthly rate along with a big channel selection.  This is what most people are looking for, but there are those who are interested in special sports or movie packages and these plans must be compared to see which will fit you and your viewing habits the best.

Another popular cable provider that you may want to consider is timewarnercable.com.  Ultimately you will need to sit down and see what you really watch. Figuring out what channels and DVR features are the most important to you is the only way to really know which service is going to be the best for you.  Happy tweeting and hopefully you find a great cable TV service to keep you entertained between tweets!

Category : Guest Posts

My Twitter Tactics usually shares information based on twitter.  We love to let our readers know how to get the most out of the twitter experience and how to use the third party tools that are available to make tweeting more fun and of course more efficient.  Today we wanted to share on a different topic, Software! We all use it and we all love it, although today we are not talking about web apps, we are talking about software for your computer.

We all use programs on our Mac or PC to help us enjoy our media, keep track of our files and some of us have even been known to take advantage of a productivity software here and there too.  If you are looking for new software for your computer, you may have notice that buying the applications you want can become a very expensive predicament.  It is not uncommon to spend as much on the software you want as you did on the computer it is running on. If you are anything like the guys here, you most likely love to save a buck or two where you can.

There are a lot of companies that sell computer software online, but there are not so many that offer a good price. If you are looking for a place to browse all the newest software for your PC or Mac, you should take a look at this new software store. You will find a huge selection and like we said, a lot of good prices too. These guys have some pieces of software for huge discounts, so go ahead and get the programs you want and pay a price that you will be bragging to your friends about too!

Twitter Stomps Auto Follow

Category : Featured, My Twitter Tactics, Twitter Apps, Twitter Followers

Twitter-Kills-Auto-FollowIt is no surprise, Twitter made it clear that they were going to do away with all the sites that offered an auto follow twitter service. The fact is that they have no way of truly getting rid of every site that offers such a service.  So what twitter has done is changed their TOS and is now only allowing websites that offer twitter following managment tools who abide by these new TOS terms to use the Twitter Oauth service.  This means that if a site wants to use the twitter login authentication process for its users they have to abide by the twitter Terms Of Service.

For some sites, they will simply continue to offer the same auto-follow service that they always have, but for the users of this service, you will have to have a new login and then store your twitter credentials on their website for future use.   This is looked at as a security risk to many, however most of the early twitter services all operated on this basis.  This is a change that needed to come very soon, as more and more users were using services to make their accounts look more popular than they actually were. The twitter autofollow also lead to many spam accounts that took away from the value of the whole site and Twitters integrity.

You will notice at many of the most popular services that used to offer an auto follow service, that these features have been removed altogether or now you must single click on every user you wish to follow.  These services are still very valid and useful for those who wish to grow their twitter account. Most of these twitter services allow you to search for people in ways that you cannot within the Twitter website.  This alone can be worth using these third party twitter services to make sure that you find new and relevant tweeps to follow.  If you are working a marketing system using twitter, finding people that have similar interests to your topic or niche is a must, so these services can offer Internet marketers a lot of value in this field.

So moving forward without auto-follow on twitter may seem like a drag to some, but it is what it is.  Now, moving forward some may have to change their mass follow strategy or simply do it the old fashioned way, one click at a time!

New Tweet Scheduler – Dynamic Tweet

Category : Automate Your Twitter Messages, Free Twitter Stuff, My Twitter Tactics, Twitter Apps

Are you looking for a way to automate your twitter messages?

There have been more than one site pop up that offers a service that allows users to schedule tweets to come out in advance.  These can be a great way for busy people to keep their updates coming, even when they don’t have time to post a new tweet themselves.  It seems that many of the early tweet schedulers have gone to a paid  service, which is fine. However, if you are looking for a tweet scheduler that is still free, we just ran across a new one and wanted to share it with the My Twitter Tactics readers.

The site we are talking about is Dynamic Tweets

You can use this service to setup future tweets and then you can get on to more important parts of your day without having to wonder if you are keeping your twitter account active.  Some will never use services like this, but some live and die by them.  So if you have never used a twitter scheduler, check this one and out and you may be pleasantly surprised by the ease of use and find it to be one of those must have twitter tools for you.
