The Top 327 Twitter Tools, Twitter Resources, and Twitter Services
The following websites will help you make better use of Twitter for promoting and marketing your books, products, services, and websites. Check back to this page regularly as I add more Twitter resources. If you know of a resource or service that will help others Twitter more effectively, please email JohnKremer@BookMarket.com.
Caution! Avoid programs such as TweeterGetter, Tweet Virus, Viral Tweets, etc. They say that they are not spam, but they are because they don't give you a chance to do anything but promote their website with your tweet. Why not build your followers legitimately by being a real person doing real things that are really interesting? That, to my mind, is a better policy and will produce far better results.

29.4 million people belong to Twitter right now. 35% of Twitterati have 10 or less followers; 9% have none. Alas.
Note from a visitor to this page: I would caution your readers against relying too heavily on the tools which auto-post and auto-message people, as there is a growing backlash against people who use Twitter as a one-way broadcast stream. If you are using Twitter heavily to broadcast your message, but not engaging in the conversation, then you risk alienating the people that you are trying to reach.
Then, again, Paul Colligan says the entire purpose of Twitter is to get people to take action.
