Here’s an idea if you are using your logo as your Twitter Avatar.  (I do.  I use that orange ‘o’ in my logo everywhere.  It’s very distinctive.)

Consider adding your photo to your Twitter profile background image.

The latest issue of TweetLater’s newsletter contains something to keep in mind:

Twitter has added methods to the Twitter API that make it a lot easier to get full follower lists and process them.

You can probably expect to see many more Twitter applications offering the ability to automatically unfollow those people who unfollow you.

As the article points out, there is a hazard if you opt-in for such an auto-unfollow service. The Twitter API doesn’t actually provide a list of people who have un-followed you.  The best that such a service can do is to get a list of your followers periodically and compare them. Theorectically the people missing from the second list are those that have un-followed you.

The hazard is that if there is a glitch in the Twitter API (which seems to happen) then Twitter can return a empty or incomplete list.  If that happens, the automated service will presume that most or al of your followers have stopped following you and proceed with unfollowing them.  DIsaster. Relationships you have spent months nurturing will be destroyed in seconds.

TweetLater does mitigate that somewhat, but prudence dictates that one should be cautious about employing any auto-unfollow service.

I’ve had inquiries from people who have taken the Twitter 101 webinar asking for an ‘Advanced’ webinar.
