Tweet in Twitter

Tweet In Twitter

Today we will talk about how to use online SMS (Short Messaging Service) as a powerful way to twitter with other people in the internet. You got right. We will learn how to use the popular tweeting site Twitter as our conduit for generating tremendous traffic into our own website. Hopefully we could understand how Twitter works and also get some pretty simple tips to start tweeting. Known as the SMS of the internet, Twitter is a very popular website today.

Considered as a social networking site equipped with a micro blogging service, users can send and receive messages in the form of tweets. These text based posts up to 140 characters are displayed on the author’s page and sent to the author’s subscribers, also known as followers. So Twitter is a great site to network although it could be very addicting for some. Still it remains to be a powerful conduit for sharing information from all around the world. Just this year, Twitter has recorded a 1,500 per cent growth in the number of registered users. Only in the first quarter of 2010, 4 billion tweets were posted. Now that is something to be considered seriously. So let’s have fun with twitter.

If you are into internet marketing, using Twitter should be your top tool priority. The good thing about twitter is that in this site, you get to be your own expert in your own field. This means that you can establish yourself in Twitter then people can follow you. It is more interactive since it involves an exchange of information. You can also get to check on other people in the site and follow them. Basically it is free, so it is very popular. You can find people from all age brackets and from alldifferent walks of life. All of these wonderful features of Twitter make it a very ideal tool for promoting our own website or more – our product. So with some simple steps, we can start attracting followers and also begin leading them into our own web site as well. So to best illustrate this technique, we need to:

1. First access the main page www.twitter.com

2. Sign up for a new account. You only need your email address and your personal information. Choose a username and password. Before you start tweeting, please have your bio written and attach a link of your website there. You may even post a picture there or an icon of your own.

3. Once in, find people to follow you. Search for contacts in the site through the search option. Following is as simple as reading bios and clicking follow.

4. Communicate with the rest of the guys in the environment and try replying to other people’s post. Just start buzzing and soon enough you’ll find yourself closing that sale.

Google tells us 20 things they’ve learned about browsers and the web via HTML5

November 18th, 2010

Google's 20 things I learned about browsersAs always, championing the rise of HTML5, Google have produced a wonderful ebook in ( surprise surprise ) HTML5.

As the title suggests the book is about the internet and its relationship with browsers, how browsers play a very important role in our internet lives and how we can use it to improve our productivity and security.

As a piece of development I personally am impressed that the entire book, is built entirely using HTML5 and not a scrap of Flash. If you check it out and if you’re as obsessive as I seem to be about how sites are constructed you’ll be able to see for yourself.

Seriously go look now, and check out the source code !

Also for the book as a book, the content is pretty good and well worth baring in mind if you need to explain the internet and related issues to less than technical types you may know, or be related to or maybe you don’t know them but on overhearing the woefully ill-informed and gratingly frustrating conversation held by a group of people who, obviously, having no real technical knowledge of their own are secretly crying out for your help and benevolent guidance, they need to know, and your going to help them know it.

Or maybe not, it might just be me.

Ever wondered how Browsers work?

This great comic strip from Vlad Gerasimov brilliantly describes how your web browser works to bring you the internet.

Basically the user, is represented by the king, orders the browser to fetch a website who goes around negotiating with firewalls, talking to DNS servers and hosts (the wise old owls) to get the site asked for.
