Best Twitter Tools for Bloggers


1. Twitterfeed – This amazing tool will let you publish updates from any RSS feed to your Twitter account. You can decide how frequently you want Twitterfeed to check your feed updates and how many updated articles to post to Twitter so that you dont overwhelm your twitter followers with tweets.

Next it allows you to keep control of multiple Twitter profiles and keep regular track of your tweets, profile mentions, replies and direct messages – all on one screen. For me, it is the best way to keep using Twitter like a pro. Another popular alternative is Twhirl.

3. Twitpic – Simply put, TwitPic lets you share photos on Twitter. Now most popular Twitter clients have inbuilt support for Twitpic. This a valuable addition to make your tweets interesting. If you want to share videos, its worth taking a look at Twiddeo or Vidly.

4. Tweetmeme Button – this nifty button has emerged as the most popular way to get your articles retweeted. Supporting various blogging platforms and websites, a Tweetmeme button is the best way to get retweeted and make your article go viral across Twitter for extra site traffic.

6. Wickett Twitter Widget – As seen on many blogs on WordPress.com, it displays tweets from a Twitter account in the sidebar of your blog. It is by far the easiest, lightest and best way to add Tweets to Wordpress. Here are more tools to integrate Twitter with Wordpress.

7. Twitter Search Widget - Official Twitter widget which provides a cool custom interface to display your own profile search results in your sidebar. An excellent way to show how popular you are on Twitter as hundreds of your profile mentions and replies scroll across your blog every second. There is an official profile widget also if that suits your need better. Here is an official Twitter badge for Blogger.

8. Twibbon – lets you add a logo of your website or a cause you support to your twitter profile avatar. This also enables your supporters to add the same logo to their profiles and show support for your blog or cause and is great to develop a community of supporters and get lots of publicity.

9. Twitterberry – is a popular Twitter client for Blackberry mobile phones. It helps me stay connected with my Twitter account anywhere in the world and on the move. I can access my Twitter followers, get replies and post tweets without my computer. My friends with Iphone and ipod Touch will like Twitterific or Twitterfon. Other mobile phone users can check the official mobile version of Twitter.

10. Twitbin – is a firefox extension that allows you to keep up with all of your Twitter conversations right from your browser sidebar. This really helps you stay connected with your followers while you are busy blogging. Or open Twitter 100 in a tab and keep following latest tweets from 100 followers on one screen.

Extend Your Laptop’s Battery Life

One of the most important aspect when you buy a laptop should be the life battery, and after you buy it, you should take care of it and try to extend it as much as you can.Here are some tips for extending your laptop's battery life.


First of all, you should defrag your hard drives regularly and pay attention to the fact that the faster your laptop's hard drive works, less demand you are putting on the hard drive and the battery. You should make your hard drives as efficient as possible, and defrag them. It is well known that Mac OSX is built to handle better the fragmentation and it may not be very applicable to computer with Apple OS installed.

You can "cut" the laptop screen to the lowest level of dim, so you can modify the CPU and cooling performances. This is another way you can aqueeze some battery juice, and also you should throw an eye to the programs running on background, because they are all added to the CPU load and they cut battery life. Shut down everything you think it is not crucial when you are on battery.Other aditional devices which should be cut in order to extend the battery life are the external devices, and I think you can quit the coffee warmer, or the mini drum kit when you are on battery. All these USB devices, including the mouse, and the Wi-Fi drain the laptop battery.






To extend your laptop's battery life, you should think about adding some more RAM, whcih will alow your laptop to process more with the mamory it has, than based on the virtual memory. This virtual memory usage means that you take space from the hard disk, and it has a very low eficiency. This is very aplicable to situation when you run programs which require a lot of virtual memory.

How to love Lungs

I'm addicted to frou frou. i was as an instant fan by the end of the first time i saw and heard their video for breathe in. that was way back 2002(?). five years and relentless scouring of music stores for their one and only album later, it is only now that i am able to listen to details. i'm totally lost, but in a good way, in between the dreamy layered voice of imogen and the peculiar but soothing and ingenious arrangements of guy.

so if you like electronica with a dash of soul and playful lyrics you should give frou frou a listen. satisfaction guaranteed!

Increase Your DSL and Dial Up Internet Speed

This tweak is for broadband cable connections on stand alone machines with winXP professional version - might work on Home version also. It will probably work with networked machines as well but I haven't tried it in that configuration. This is for windows XP only.This tweak assumes that you have let winXP create a connection on install for your cable modem/NIC combination and that your connection has tcp/ip - QoS - file and print sharing - and client for microsoft networks , only, installed. It also assumes that winxp will detect your NIC and has in-box drivers for it. If it doesn't do not try this. In the "My Network Places" properties (right click on the desktop icon and choose properties), highlight the connection then at the menu bar choose "Advanced" then "Advanced Settings". Uncheck the two boxes in the lower half for the bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK1. From the windows XP cd in the support directory from the support cab, extract the file netcap.exe and place it in a directory on your hard drive or even in the root of your C:\ drive.2. Next, open up a command prompt window and change directories to where you put netcap.exe. then type "netcap/?". It will list some commands that are available for netcap and a netmon driver will be installed. At the bottom you will see your adapters. You should see two of them if using a 3Com card. One will be for LAN and the other will be for WAN something or other.3. Next type "netcap/Remove". This will remove the netmon driver.4. Open up control panel / system / dev man and look at your network adapters. You should now see two of them and one will have a yellow ! on it. Right click on the one without the yellow ! and choose uninstall. YES! you are uninstalling your network adapter, continue with the uninstall. Do not restart yet.5. Check your connection properties to make sure that no connection exists. If you get a wizard just cancel out of it.6. Now re-start the machine.7. After re-start go to your connection properties again and you should have a new connection called "Local area connection 2". highlight the connection then at the menu bar choose "Advanced" then "Advanced Settings". Uncheck the two boxes in the lower half for the bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK.8. Choose connection properties and uncheck the "QOS" box9. Re-start the machine10. After restart enjoy the increased responsiveness of IE, faster page loading, and a connection speed boost.
