Social Media Right

The best way to figure out social media, is to use social media and do homework.

Extend Your Network: Mr. Tweet Takes You on The Street

http://mrtweet.com

Mr. Tweet dot com is an interesting Beta app running to compliment the use of Twitter. When you have people in your network that you appreciate and value enough to want to do that little bit something more, you can use Mr. Tweet as a promotional vehicle that keeps track of their recommendations. It’s essentially another good way for anyone to give and collect testimonials/recommendations with others.

What I liked about it:

  • The presentation of users following me that I had not yet followed back gave me a nice birds eye view of each person, and allowed me to follow back with a simple Tweet.
  • Recommendations showed me other Twitter users Mr. Tweet suggests I follow. I didn’t look into how it determines this, though from the display, my guess says it is based upon my networks conversations just out of my reach.
  • The immediate feedback mechanism built into the interface so Mr. Tweet can get the user experience feedback on the spot in order to improve what they’re creating.

What I didn’t like about it:

  • For what it does, there wasn’t much I didn’t like about it. Given their feedback feature, I was able to bring up the one item that I felt would benefit the system. About to share it here, it got me onto a full explanation that I’m posting to the General subject category for everyone’s benefit.
