Melissa Beecroft is a Social Media Manager / Specialist and I really enjoyed talking with her, it is always nice to talk to someone who does what you do. Social Media specialists never stop learning, actually the good ones are addicted to adding to their skill sets. Not to mention we Love, Love to share tips on using social media.

Listen to our interview on Twitter and the benefits of using it.

Sean is a  food enthusiast  and likes to try different drinks wherever he goes.  He shares some of the drinks he comes across to accompany a meal or to enjoy on its own.

And in case you are wondering his fall back drinks are red wine or a jack and coke.

LibationBlog is his personal blog where you can get some delish beverage recipes so make sure you add it to your google reader to stay up today or subscribe!

Also, Sean helped me get over myself when it came to Scott aka @Unmarketing, you will have to listen to the audio.

I Twove his Twitter bio: “Game Guide Author. Real person. Building an army worthy of Mordor.” Dan is married to my fav fashion blogger here in Vegas @lollieshopping and they recently celebrated their Anniversary!

He helped me come to an understanding about why my hubby and son play on the xbox 360 so much. He informed me that I should not stand in front of the screen or try to climb in my husband’s lap while he is trying to reach the next level, he said something about letting him get to a safe place in the game. You’ll have to listen to our interview to get those details. Ok seriously, I do have a better understanding my husband uses it as a stress relief after working an 8 to 10 hour day it helps him to clear his mind. Kind of like me when I’m stressed out I grab a bottle of wine and head for the piano. Not to mention that I can’t really talk since I am usually in front of my lap top.

Ok back on topic, I also visited Dan’s blog and I found video game reviews, previews, tips and tricks, and much more. He must be a “Lost” fan. To find out more about Dan Birlew listen to the interview and visit his bio page on his blog.

I first met laura at the 1st Las Vegas tweetup hosted by myself and @PeterArceo and @RobertGaines from the Las Vegas Hilton and I am very excited she is here today.

Ok I am getting better at these interviews! Not so many um’s and still a little to many and’s lol. I was going to edit my one blunder at the end but have decided against it again. I know I am fickle but my hopes are that some of my blunders might be funny (again I know I am dillusional and think that I am funny). Also, I am hoping that it will encourage those that are considering doing interviews or audio recordings to jump on in.

Check out how she takes this Basic Black Dress and makes it Sizzle…..

@Lollieshopping is a friend of mine so I thought I’d use her in this example, plus I will be interviewing her this week. PS hover over her username and follow her if your not. I am having fun using @Anywhere, but that’s another post…

Now look at the screen capture I did of her tweet, click on it if you can. Where you successful? Didn’t think so..

Test #2

My tweet, yes I am being a little sneaky here. The Link is my affiliate link for @VAClassroom. Not to mention you can click on my name and visit my Twitter profile (don’t do that yet, watch the video below first since it will take you away from my post :0) thank you)

One thing in the video below,  I didn’t mention when I was talking about the Tweet no longer being stationary in Twitter, but most of us know this already is that Tweets are indexed in Search Engines making this like the ultimate double dip. Yeah get that spoon and dive on in. So I really think this is going to be a great additional feature, showing up on websites and blogs all over the internet. Again, just incase I forget Thank You @RobinSloan for sharing your cool hack with us!

I have seen WordPress plugins that do this also, but as my friend @KimDoyal says “Plugins can slow down your Wordpess site, and if you don’t really need to use a plugin when code will do then why use it!” Not an exact quote but close enough. (By the way Kim is my WordPress Mentor)

PS @RobinSloan does not guarantee it will work everywhere so remember he says to use it at your own risk. :0) Short and sweet if it doesn’t work don’t look a gift horse in the mouth! Oh and that is me talking! Enjoy the video!

TweetSpinner is a sweet way to put a spin on your “Tweets”  and increase your Twitter productivity.

Let’s talk about  TweetSpinner’s sweet ways:

You can set up TweetSpinner for FREE but I have a feeling after you see  the Pro account features FREE won’t be so appealing.  Your Free TweetSpinner account works with one Twitter Profile and you get 5 features.   Your Pro account is up to 5 Twitter profiles and 17  Sweet Features  to be exact, with the price tag of $15 a mo.

One of the Sweetest features of  Tweetspinner is “Scheduling” tweets to automate your Twitter account.  You can schedule = continually repeat an activity over time automatically.

You can use  TweetSpinner to “E ffortlessly Gain Targeted Twitter Followers” Yep become the Authority, Thought Leader, etc…

It’s Follower Manager component has sophisticated filters to  target specific audiences you are interested in following.

Did you wish for a professional organizer for your Twitter account? Your wish is TweetSpinner’s command.  TweetSpinner organizes your Twitter account by unfollowing  spammy Tweeps and cleaning out your DM’s

Following research with TweetSpinner:

Followback analyzation of Tweoples who follow you, but you don’t follow.

Keyword Follow you specify keywords and TweetSpinner will search Twitter for users with those keywords.

TweetSpinner has several other Sweet Features but they have a website that explains them all and I know your “Jonesin” to go get your Sweet “Free” TweetSpinner account.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you, FREE is good, but PRO is  having your Sweet cake and eating it to.

There are so many “Suite” things about  Hootsuite that make it my “Suite” Twitter home away from Twitter.

One of my favs is the “Hootlet” a “Suite” tool you drag to your toolbar, that allows you to tweet about a cool site without even going into Twitter.   Here is a video demo:

Hootsuite also allows you tp take you columns on the go!  Here’s another demo:

But that is just the beggining, multiple accounts, team workflow, track statistics, multi-column view, tabbed layout, create groups, embed columns, feed your RSS, Ping.fm intergration, schedule Tweets, quick search, view user info, and report spam.

For us bloggers “Feeding our RSS” is a great feature I have it set to tweetup up to 4 times a day when I make a new blog post.

This is just a quick over view of  Hootsuite, it has so many endearing qualities.  The FAQ and How to’s are abundant as you can tell from the demo videos I have shared.

So go set up your Hootsuite Hoot!  You’ll think it’s “Suite” to!

If you are on Twitter you already have an account on Twitpic.  All you have to do is go to Twitpic and sign in like you are signing into you Twitter account.

Once you are logged in you have a few options:  Home, Public Timeline, Upload Photo, Settings, and Logout.

Home of course shows your photos and comments on your photos.

Public Timeline is public photos and comments

Upload photos is easy,  you just upload the picture of your choice, if you choose to you can comment on it and click on upload.

You can upload photos from your phone by sending an email to twitpic and using the subject line for your comment on your photo.   You can set it up in Settings.

Twitpic is very user-friendly and fun to use for photo sharing.  Go get your account today and start sharing your pix on Twitpic.  I plan on using it at the next tweetup on September 9, 2009.

Here is a video demo I found on Youtube, yes I know the guy is in some kind of animal costume and a bit on the odd side but entertaining anyways enjoy….
