Essential Twitter Tools for the Social Media Climber

Most builders of Twitter Tools have so far focussed on tools to make Twitter easier to aggregate, or easier to distribute/receive. Most people have given little thought to the needs of the ambitious Social Media Climber - you know, those twerps on twitter who follow and fawn over every A lister and seem to mainly pimp the orthodoxy of the day - whatever will get them noticed.

We at Broadsight understand their needs and have thus invented to key tools - The Drivelizer and the Social Crawler - to automate all that the time consuming social crawling. These systems are monitoring Twitter 24 hours a day and continually, automatically posting social objects aimed at the Webslebs. If you do it right, you can go on holiday for month and come back as everyone's No 1 Fanboi

The Drivelizer - is a random drivel generator, and works by the classic 3 - phrase model, taking 3 databases:




The Social Crawler works by watching all the A Listers followed and whenever they put a twt down, with a link to their latest creation, it waits 5 minutes then replies - it uses the same logic as above:



Of course, it fails if anyone ever answers you, but that is a low probability event so we have discounted it. We're working on Indian outsourced social crawling for that......

(Update - it would seem we are not the only ones to note that Twitter is increasingly being colonised by pimps...so has Dan Farber:

Much of what gets sent via Twitter is a form of self-advertising. If you like Twitter so much, how about paying $5 a month for the privilege

And with our tools you could even be earning the money at the local burger joint while it did the self-promo for you ! )
