It's a very useful tool for looking up themed tweets with or without hashtags. The distinction is important. Not every search engine for Twitter tweets is able to distinguish between, for example:
Shakespeare
and
#Shakespeare
The second Twitter search term uses a hashtag to identify those tweets that include a hashtagged Shakespeare for search purposes. Inserting a hashtag before a keyword when you tweet offers a convenient way for you to group tweets by theme.
The other cool thing about search.twitter is that you can run a whole bunch of advanced searches and get very specific about what you want, see the full list of Twitter search operators here:
Twitscoop doesn't distinguish between "shakespeare" and "#shakespeare" but it does display a neat trend graph for your Twitter search term.
It also displays a cloud of current Twitter buzzwords (similar to the Amazon cloud thingummy).
You can watch the buzzword cloud as it automatically updates itself, with words appearing, waxing, waning, and disappearing... kinda hypnotizing so go careful!
Evan Carmichael has just produced another of his famous entrepreneur features, looking at how Walt Disney achieved business success against everybody's expectations by doing what he loved... Check out the video below to discover some Disney leadership secrets that you can use to achieve business success in your own chosen field...
Okay, here's a summary of the three Disney leadership secrets:
1. Do what you love - "If you don't really love it, it's going to be hard to succeed."
2. Push the boundaries - Walt Disney did this when he made the first ever full-length animation feature film... (Which one was it? - Check the video!)
3. Stay top of mind - "Do whatever you can to make sure your customers are always thinking about you."
Okay, so you are an Internet Marketer. Great! But that doesn't mean you've got to stick to marketing your website on the Internet.
So here are some postcard marketing tips to get you thinking about running a basic direct mail campaign to generate traffic to your website.
The principal reward of postcard marketing is the low cost of producing and mailing the cards. In fact, you can make use of a service like http://www.click2mail.com to plan and manage your postcard marketing campaign wholly from a computer.
Did you know that it's possible to print and mail 1,000 postcards by first class mail and spend less than 40 cents a pop?
When you send out your postcards, make sure you include your website address and and give your prospects a good reason why they should go to your site, like some useful web tools or ebooks on a subject dear to your prospects' hearts. If possible, offer something that is unavailable elsewhere, like a report that you put together yourself.
Maybe you are promoting an affiliate program that features some ready-made postcards for affiliates to purchase and mail out to prospects. Nonetheless, it will be much more effective if you make original cards of your own and create your own advertising copy as this will produce greater results for you over time.
How so?
If you utilize standard promotional postcards you have no control over what is printed on them. You are stuck with what the affiliate company provides you with. But the beauty of postcard marketing when it's run the right way, is that it gives you control over every single part of your promotional campaign, including design and copy.
Having the option to make other versions of the postcard will enable you to compare one design against another with split tests.
Let's suppose you decide to test two different headlines to see which one will bring in more leads. Make 400-500 postcards (set "A") with one headline and 400-500 (set "B") with the other and send them off to 800-1000 prospects.
If set "A" brings in more responses, keep that postcard the same and rewrite the headline on the set "B" postcard. You could run some more tests, but when you are certain which headline is more effective, drop the "losing" headline and produce another headline that you can use against the "winner" in future split tests.
How can you measure the results?
All you need to do is to add a code number on set "A" cards and a different code number on the cards in set "B". Request that people responding to your offer give the code number along with their name and e-mail in order to access the link to the free gift when they visit your site. That will give you a clear indication of how many replies each headline has generated.
Once you have built up some expertise in postcard marketing campaigns and split testing, you'll find that you can systematically improve the results you get from them.
Would you like to have a blog designer design and install a customised Wordpress blog for you free of charge?
I mean, who wouldn't?
Well, in April you will have a chance to win yourself exactly that!
No, don't worry, the free blog design won't be coming from me!
I'm more of a bodge-a-blog-on-Blogger sort of bloke.
The geezer who is giving away the goods is a guy called Tyrone, who hangs out over at Internet Business Path and runs eBlogProfits.
Tyrone tells me he'll be giving away ONE customised blog design website with free web hosting and a domain name to whoever wins a competition that he's running...
Here's what the winner of Tyrone's blog competition will get:
A Wordpress blog designed to meet your particular needs and the proposed content of your blog.
Free Wordpress installation.
One year's free web hosting
Search Engine Optimization
Installation of up to 10 widgets

Okay, sounds good. So, how do you enter and what do you have to do?
You earn one entry by simply filling the form on Tyrone's website and opting into his newsletter.
(He, he, nice one Tyrone!)
Then, you can earn five more entries if you blog about this contest and link to this post using the following keywords:
P. S. If you want to build traffic to your website, take a leaf out of Tyrone's book... offer to do something gratis, or give away something, set up a competition and talk it up around the blogosphere and on the forums... Yagottagivetaget!
What is a good business to be in during a recession?
How about selling a luxury product, like an exclusive coffee that comes in pricey little pods that only fit one brand of coffee machine?
Sounds crazy, right? After all, in a recession people are looking for ways to SAVE money and CUT expenses, so you would have thought ersatz coffee would be flavour of the year...
Somebody should tell Nespresso, the cuckoo in Nestle's nest, the company that has enjoyed 30% growth-rates for the last several years, including 2008, The-Year-Of-the-Worst-Recession-Since-The-Great-Depression etc.
