See What’s hot on Twitter with Twist

Many people are trying to figure out just why Twitter is useful.  Twitter is  a micro bloging system where each post is 140 characters that let’s your friends (and the rest of the world) know what you are up to at a given moment in time.   It’s like text messaging on steroids.

There are many applications that take advantage of Twitters API and aggragates information.  Twist http://twist.flaptor.com/ helps you to sort through what is being posted on Twitter, which can be quite useful for your marketing.   Let’s say I am preparing to write a Real Estate Blog post and I want to know what other people are talking about.  I go to Twist, enter in real estate and graph on the popularity of the term.
http://twist.flaptor.com/?gram=real+estate+&table=0 – the graph shows me the highs and lows for the week (you can also select month or all data).

I can then click the link and see what people are talking about in Real Estate

I now know that a blog post about real estate values and various commercial deals will be well received – as they are popular topics at the moment.

Give it a try 🙂
