Marketing Monster

Thanks to everyone who came out to my Social Media Breakfast Montreal session “Turbocharge Twitter with Apps.” Knowing that some people were new to Twitter and some were veterans meant that my presentation had to contain something for everyone. I hope that I was able to cover some of the basics while introducing some new apps to those who’ve been using Twitter for years.

For those interested in discovering how Twitter apps can turbocharge your experience, here is the presentation.

Let me know in the comments if I’ve missed something that you love, or if you found something new that will make Twitter even better for you.

My favourite discovery

By far, the happiest surprise I found when researching the apps for this presentation was Quote URL. This app allows you to drag and drop the URL for individual tweets into their interface from your Twitter profile or from search.twitter.com. It then arranges the tweets in chronological order and presents you with a permalink. Now you can send someone a link to an entire Twitter conversation or commentary. Even better, the conversation becomes embeddable for your blog. No more cutting, pasting and manual linking. For bloggers, this will be a great tool.

Here’s an example.

Thanks to Jeff Taylor and Dan Maitland from Heelatch for the opportunity to speak to such a great  crowd. And thanks to everyone who contributed to the great Q&A afterward.

Be sure to check out Sebastien Provencher‘s presentation on the Group Buying industry. It was fascinating and enlightening.

See you next time!
