Greetings All,
I apologize for missing a weekly wrap-up last weekend. The swine flu finally caught up with my family and we were down and out for the count. But here we are again, with another weekend upon us!
This week I would like to talk about Twitter. I find that most folks on the internet either love or totally dismiss Twitter. I have to admit that I was one to totally dismiss it. I certainly saw the value of it, both personally and in my business, but I felt like I just didn’t have the time to “twitter away” my day. After finally jumping on board, I have found how truly fun and valuable Twitter can be.
One post that I came across that I really loved was Steve Wakefield’s blog article called, “My Top 10 Twitter Tools and Then Some.” If you are new to twitter, or not, you will find his list really compelling.
Of the ten tools that Steve lists, I have to say that I liked Twitter Packs the best. Twitter Packs, according to Steve, is a “useful directory of twitter users sorted into specific categories so that you can find people who are interested in the same things as you. You can also add yourself to the directory so that people can find and follow you.” Take a moment to read Steve’s blog post. If you love twitter, you will be glad that you did.
As happens quite often in the world of the internet, once you find a product that you love, another comes along to rival it. Such was the case with me this week. I literally stumbled upon Sokule (pronounced So Cool).
Sokule is a free product, or you can upgrade to obtain more features. You’ll find all the applications you need to make your business hum in one convenient location. You can even choose the applications you want. Applications like Adding your Bio, Edit Posts, Live Profile Links, Auto Welcome, Scheduled Posts, Video Ads, Autoresponder Messages, ClickBank plugin, Sokwall, and lots more.
One of the things that makes Sokule so cool is that when you post on Sokule, your post will automatically show up on Twitter just like magic. Sokule’s website states that they will soon be adding 40 other social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace, Giblink, Friend Feed and many more.
Follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/nbroyton or on sokule at http://www.sokule.com/postit/Norene My sokule page is just beginning to be built — hopefully by the end of this week there will be more to show.
Until next time,

About norene
Norene,
Great blog post about sokule… Always had a hard time figuring out twitter and so maybe I’ll have to check into this a bit more.
Integrated with all the other social media would be great.
Take care,

Thanks Rob! It’s always good to hear from you! Once you get into Sokule, let me know what you think of it! -Norene
I have just trashed my Twitter account as it fed into FB and somebody managed to hijack it so was getting grief for spamming.
I will start again with Twitter in time but sokule sounds like a goer.
Let us know how you get on with it

Interesting enough for me to check it out.

Andrew,
Great to see you again! I’m glad you liked this post. It is a lot of fun to find new software and programs! -Norene
Hi Norene,
Thank you so much for the shout out and kind words about my blog post… I really appreciate it – sorry it’s about a week overdue, I’ve had a lot going on in my business.
Also, thanks for the heads up on Sokule… as you know, I’ve quickly become a twitter fan, so this is right up my street… will give it a try and report back.
Speak soon,
Steve
P.S. Hope you and the family are fully recovered now?!

Hi Steve,
I completely understand — it took me a week longer than expected to post that blog. Yes, everyone has fully recovered, thank you for asking.
I love your blog and visit often. It always makes my day when I see a new post. I’m happy to promote such great content!
I see that you signed up for Sokule…let me know how it goes for you. I have just begun to play with it myself. -Norene
Hi Norene,
I’ll have to check out Sokule out and read Steve’s post. I’m working on building up my twitter lists, but I haven’t done a whole lot with it yet. I make a tweet every now and then, but nothing too serious.
Take Care – Heidi
