Dear Blogging Bistro reader:
I'm looking for people willing to review a Twitter management tool.
In exchange for your review (which I'll publish on Blogging Bistro*), I'll send you a copy of my e-book, Blogophobia Conquered: Overcome and 7 Most Common Fears & Create an Amazing Blog (a $20 value).
Here's what you'll do:
Choose a Twitter application from the list below (ideally, an app you already use).
E-mail laura@bloggingbistro.com to let me know which app you'd like to review (send me your top 3 in case someone else has already claimed your first choice).
Register for the app and test it for 3-5 days (if you manage multiple Twitter accounts, even better. I'm specifically seeking reviews of how well these apps perform on multiple accounts).
Write up your review in 300-500 words, detailing the pros and cons of the following:
User-friendliness & customization options (dashboard, color coding, avatars, etc.)
Ease of profile management
Support for multiple Twitter accounts
URL shortening method
Click-through statistics tracking ability (or other analytics)
Keyword tracking and keyword alerts
Integrated Search features
Tweet filtering options
Refresh rate
Ability to pre-schedule updates
Ability to follow new tweeps
Ability to create groups
One-click unfollow
Browser-based or other
Windows/Mac
Anything else you find interesting, irritating, or noteworthy.
While it's fine to include bulleted lists of the features you discover, be sure to add your personality to your review. We really want to know what YOU think, and what you discover about the application.
E-mail your review as a Word attachment (or in the body of an e-mail) to laura@bloggingbistro.com by Friday, June 12. Feel free to include screenshots with your review!
Include 2-line bio about yourself, a mug shot of you if you have one, and links to your Web site(s), blog(s), and, of course, your Twitter account(s).
As soon as I receive your completed review, I'll e-mail you your copy of Blogophobia Conquered.
*Note - I plan to compile all the reviews into an e-book and make it available at no charge. Your bio and links will be included with your review in the e-book. You are welcome to distribute the e-book to your friends, followers, and fans.
Twitter applications to review (if one you'd like to review is not on the list, let me know):
