My Tweeple.com is a pretty nifty service, it basically pulls all your friends from twitter and lets you view those who follow you, those you follow, and mutual followers, and you can follow or unfollow right from the interface.

This is extremely useful, especially since Twitter has instigated the new follower limits.

I will say that I initially followed many people as robert scoble had suggested as a means to build my network, and it did work out hugely in my favor - for every 4 people I followed, 1 person would follow me.

So with 19000 people that I was following, I’ve gotten 5500 followers of my own, not too shabby in the least bit.

But alas the face of twitter and social networks in general are a changing. Of course I got upset at Twitter for making the changes, and I’ve been using twitter a lot less and experimenting with other sites such as Identi.ca, Rejaw, Tumblr, Plurk, etc…

However, with tools like monitter I don’t really need to follow everyone to get new followers and to build my personal brand or community, now I can focus on keeping my current network strong and building up my blog.

I’ve been using MyTweeple to unfollow those who aren’t following me. The most important people to me right now are the ones that listen to what I have to say, in essence they’re the ones paying the bills. My thoughts are why follow anyone who isn’t willing to reciprocate, and I already have enough followers that I can just unsubscribe to all the rest and focus on my little group, and build on that.

One thing I’d like to see on Mytweeple would be an option to just automatically unfollow anyone who isn’t following me, I’ve been clicking unfollow on link after link after link, or perhaps a checkbox next to each item on a page, and a select all link, and another button that says unfollow all, or something easier like that.

But overall I’m quite impressed, and think the service will do pretty well. I definitely recommend trying it out in order to organize your followers, and friends on twitter.

Twitter continues to Amaze me - Doubled my subscribers in 2 days!

I wrote yesterday how I got about 15 new subscribers in one day using twitter.

I woke up today, and checked my stats. Today I had 63 subscribers, up from 47.

My blog had approximately 600+ hits yesterday.

The most I’ve ever received on any of my online entities.

This truly is awesome, I am a twitter believer.

There is a downside though, with twitter comes a lot of distractions, the same can also be said of friendfeed, pownce, etc…(which I’m also trying to tap into a little bit.)

My major advice is to be devoted to your blog above all else. Twitter is great, and can give you some great ideas as to what to blog about, but the bottom line to being successful is to blog, and blog often.

I try for 2 times per day, 3 would be great, but even once per day if you’re really busy. If you go long periods without writing you’ll never build a true following, and you will lose a lot of your current readers.

Yesterday, I also asked about people who ‘Google Themselves’. I got a lot of responses in comments, as well as a few on twitter.

As an experiment, I’ve decided to make a change in the Title of this blog, from ‘There’s a Blog in My Soup’, to “There’s a Blog in my Soup: A Blog by Patrick Curl”.

My goal is to see if that raises my ‘brand’, in the search engines.

Also if this is your first time reading my blog you might want to check out, my latest pillar article, on 40 some odd ways to increase your rss subscriber count - which I will be updating regularly.

I’ve been a member of twitter for a long time, ever since I heard about it from mashable.com.

I usually try a lot of the stuff I hear there, but sometimes it’s hard to really use, and get into a social network.

For me, at first anyway, I didn’t get nor even understand twitter. Months went by where I had about 5 followers and I followed 0 people, myself. The only real interaction I had was my blog posts getting posted to twitter, me thinking - any promotion would help my blog.

This weekend I was taking a little closer look at twitter, and I noticed Robert Scoble’s account. He has 15,000 followers, which is a lot, and makes sense he has a popular blog, only seems right that he’s got a lot of twitter followers. However, I also noticed he is following about the same number of people, and it dawned on me, that if someone who’s already successful, is following that many people, then perhaps that is at least one step to becoming successful myself.

So over the weekend, and during the week, while at work, between phone calls(yes, I work in a call center - the secret is out).. I’ve been following as many people as I can, so far about 4,000. That has translated into about 600 followers, and I find as I contribute to conversations, and others see people responding to me on someone elses’ account, they too start following, as nobody likes to be left out of the conversation.

Speaking of Robert Scoble, he wrote a really good post, himself on “The secret to Twitter”.

Once you have the following on twitter - you simply need to post high quality blog posts, and make sure your posts get added to twitter, some people will click through, many will subscribe, and some might even blog about your posts(so if you’re reading this post, and like it, feel free to blog it!).

There are some plugins you can use to send your blog posts to twitter, and there’s also a service. The main plugin I use is: Twitter updater.

Here is a good service -that lets you add any feed to twitter, there have been some who’ve used yahoo pipes to create some cool twitter feeds. The service is actually called: “TwitterFeed”.

In closing, I would highly recommend, if you’re looking to increase traffic and subscribers, that you make sure to follow as many people as possible, and of course approve anyone who follows you, I seriously went from 32 subscribers to 47 in one night, and I’m excited to see what tonight holds in store.
