Thanks for visiting again, why not get my Blog updates via Twitter?
Thanks! Eoin

Once you start using Twitter, you’ll find that there are a LOT of posts on screen. It can make twitter look totally disorganised.

How do you keep an eye on the people on Twitter that you really want to get updates from?

There are two method that I have used.

The first is using Twitter Profiles. basically, you just go to the person’s Twitter Profile and bookmark the page, in it’s own special folder. Then, when you get the time to catch up, just use the bookmark to go to profile and read the person’s past messages.

The second method is to use software to do the job, the best so far seems to be Tweetdeck.

After you install it, it allows you to make groups, and you can move followers into smaller groups in the software, to minimise the clutter.

A great feature of Tweetdeck is it opens automatically opens windows for your @replies and direct messages sent to you, so you don’t miss a message from someone.

As I mentioned before, I’ve been using Twitter since 2007, so I’ve had time to find what works best for me and personally, I’ve found bookmarking better,  but I do think it depends on the individual, as many people couldn’t do without Tweetdeck.
