Twitter Tools
A good post by Mashable again about Twitter tools.
Some good points on figuring out who has stopped following you, if you follow someone whether they follow you back etc. A good way to root out the annoying ones.
A good reminder to do a bit of preening of my Followers and Following lists.

Where to next?
Blogs, Facebook, MySpace, email?
Where do you go after checking out the conversation on Twitter? Just came across an (old) awesome post on The Next Web about a users journey from Twitter to the great known? You can read the post here.

Twtapps
Thanks to Fabio de Bernardi for highlighting Twtapps. A service model based in and around Twitter. They have listed a number of weird and wonderful (but useful apps) here but the most useful one in my opinion is the twtvite. It’s interesting to see how they plan to monetise their service, but as with Twitter we’ll be waiting a while before Twtapps show their cards.

Gold Dust – Jobs for Graduates
Reading up on @Wadds blog (well worth a daily read) I noticed a great post based on the teachings of the fabulous Seth Godin who had some real gems of advice for the aspiring employee:
- Spend twenty hours a week running a project for a non-profit
- Teach yourself Java, HTML, Flash, PHP and SQL
- Volunteer to coach or assistant coach a kids sports team
- Start, run and grow an online community
- Give a speech a week to local organizations.Write a regular newsletter or blog about an industry you care about
- Learn a foreign language fluently
- Write three detailed business plans for projects in the industry you care about
- Self-publish a book
- Run a marathon
Brilliant! If that doesn’t float your boat, why not give Codeworks Connect a call. They have an excellent number of schemes and contacts that will be advantageous in this day and age – if you have time to pick up the phone between the projects, the sports teams and the marathon!
Thanks to @Wadds for being a generous Twestival donor and and all round awesome guy!
