#followfriday,
Twitter I have some thoughts on my topic How to increase Twitter followers Part 2 , which I explained how to use #followfriday technique to increase your Twitter followers. In order to get an effective and valuable tweet:
- Its better that you mention to your followers why they should follow the people who you follow .
- Another way to do it , is to categorize your Twitter following list into categories . Then when you suggest them you can mention who they are and what’s good about following them.
- You don’t have to dig and find your previous tweets on #followFriday . I have found a nice tool that can list all your tweets on #followfriday. All you need to do is to retweet your old tweets. You can find this tools in this link :

Marketing,
Twitter I came across a good article written by Tweetbucks which lists the benefits of using Twitter for your business. I had written a similar article before, you can read it Twitter to follow or not !
According to Tweetbucks article,Twitter can help you :
- “People are looking for you” :which means people of similar interests as you can find you easily and thus increasing your profits and your exposure.
- “Bring traffic to your Site”
- ”Keep your customers informed”
- “Put a face to the company name “
- “Respond real-time to news.”
- “Find new opportunities.”
The reason I’m mentioning TweetBucks is that it uses these advantages and allows you to market your products using short links. I find this a leverage because people can share or retweet your links or your ideas while you are not available.

Entrepreneur,
Twitter Im now at Bangor University’s computer lab in the UK. I dont have an internet connection at my new rented house , but I will soon. Checking out http://www.oneriot.com for the lastest topics about ‘entrepreneur’ , I saw a nice website : http://wefollow.com . Its a Twitter directory which helps you find followers. It categorizes popular tags in an easy order. It also lists top Twitter users. I added myself in its directory under ‘Entrepreneur’ , ‘startup’ and ‘web2′. Wefollow website is a social media search engine, which is in my opinion a great tool to help you meet new people in your niche and also keeps you up 2 date with the latest topics in Twitter. If you are wondering what Im doing at Bangor, send me a tweet .

efouz,
SaaS eFouz.com blog is all about Entrepreneurship. Wether it is about tips , skills or tools. You can notice about my previous posts and reviewed tools is that I focused only on web-based tools or what they called clouds . There is another word for online tools which is: SAAS which stands for “Software as a Service”. Recently there have have been many startups and most of them provide the same SaaS-concept. I believe that cloud computing or using online tools, is much superior than using traditional softwares and I will explain why.
1- SaaS is much cheaper than a traditional software.
2- SaaS can be accessed online any time and from any where.
3- SaaS can shared by many users, which will increase productivity.
4- SaaS technical support is not a problem as its taken care of by the service provider.
5- In event of a crash, most SaaS vendors provide backup and alternate servers ready to be used immediately.
So Cloud computing will be a great , economic and powerfull technology for Entrepreneurs and startups.
Of course there are some concerns about trust and security. I think if the later aspects are taken seriously by the vendors , I dont see any reason why companies should not use such a technology.
