Cool Twitter Tools

Twitter is one of my all time favorite social media tools.   Thanks to this micro-blogging platform I've met amazing people like @BrianMoran, @TrustBranding@ZaraGreen, @NancyMyrland@DonnaSeyle, @lawyercoach, @AdvertisingLaw and @BizinSpirit.  I've gotten to know fabulous folks like @Tim_Baran and @SmallBizLady better, PLUS I've reconnected with amazing mentors like @AlfredEdmondJr.

Twitter has also directly led to amazing clients and speaking opportunities with The Competitive Edge ConferenceNew Jersey Small Business Development Centers and the Council on Foreign Relations, just to name a few.

My success on Twitter is the result of time invested building relationships, sharing what I hope is valuable content AND using fabulous Twitter tools.  Following are a few Twitter tools that I've used during the past couple of years.  While some of these tools are still in my toolbox and others are not, I've found every tool listed below useful for accomplishing a specific business objective.
