Eight days ago I plunged into the world of Twitter. I didn't know a
thing about it, but I trusted the advice of multiple friends and
colleagues that this phenomenon was worth checking out.
This is great. Do you recommend a specific tool to organize your twitter contacts? I've been using Tweetdeck, but I wonder if there's something better...

Thanks for this article, Julie. I'm always looking for ways to streamline my social media. Like Judy, I'm interested in learning more about what you say in #2 - organizing Twitter contacts into folders. How do you do that?
Now I'm off to RT your tips. So kewl! Debra (@DebraMarrs)
I use twitter and have for a while (@dexaholic), it seems even before Ashton Kutcher showed up! (Yes, I follow him and Demi, and you too!). I send tweets from my blackberry (via twitterberry, a free app) and from my igoogle page (via twittergadget). I have my twitter page linked with facebook to update my status with my tweets (saves a lot of time as I don't get sidetracked by the live newsfeed on facebook - just search twitter on facebook, and I still get to keep friends in the loop on my day).
Now whether I twitter anything anyone sees value in reading is another story :)
I'd love to see more tips and tricks on time management and organization.
Thanks!
Great post Julie. Love the "personal/professional tickertape" reference. Helping people organize their social media lifes is a sure-fire bizopp for you. If you can help us get a handle on that, you'll be deified!
I use OutTwit to direct all New Followers automatically to one folder in Outlook called, (appropriately) "New Followers".
Then I process--opening, reading the links of the followers, getting to know something about them, sending a thank you. Then, I file them in other Outlook Folders I created, such as "Followers-Technorati"; "Followers-Professional Organizers"; Followers-Clients", etc.
I'm basically organizing the relationships that are forming into categories that make sense to me.
This way, I can see at a glance the mix of followers I have, and xome up with hints,tips and tweets appropriate to these relationships--and send direct messages to individuals or groups of individuals.
For More TWITTER TIPS: Paul Cheney sent me a WONDERFUL ebook guide to Using Twitter this afternoon. The information is divided into well organized sections--and the writing is concise and accessible--written in perfect sound-bite sized paragraphs equal to the attention span of a Twitter-er! Check it out--much to learn from him. http://sn.im/twitterebook
Great tips, Julie. I'm glad to see you on Twitter. I mainly use Tweetdeck to organize groups of people, but sometimes will use www.ping.fm if I want to send a message to multiple social networking sites. Thanks for following me. Cheers - Scott Roewer aka @declutteryou
