Your Tweets Will Be Golden

Here at TwitterFools we’ve tested and reviewed a good number of Twitter tools.  It is simply one of those things we do and we enjoy it. But, honestly, it can get a little repetitive – seeing the same features wrapped in different packaging. So, imagine our surprise when we started using TweetMiner. Sure it provides all the standard features any Twitter client should, but it adds a very nice feature that will help make your tweets golden.

Ask any self-respecting social media guru [and all the wannabes too] and one of the first things they’ll tell you about using Twitter is to make sure you offer value. On Twitter that translates into a number of actions including sharing your knowledge and skills by engaging in conversation, reviewing and retweeting links of those you follow, and finding and sharing your own good resources. Of all these tasks, finding good resources to share via a tweeted link can be the most time consuming thing of all.

And that, my friends, is where TweetMiner excels!

We’ve included TweetMiner’s own video below that covers all its features, but for us the single most brilliant thing about TweetMiner is the incorporation of an RSS reader. It saved us considerable time finding interesting and timely articles to share.  By all accounts, TweetMiner has helped us find and tweet better content – golden content.

We used the RSS feature to monitor the breaking news and posts about Twitter, social media and a few other topics. Then, from the RSS dashboard inside TweetMiner, we are able to open and review a news story and just as easily compose and send a tweet to which TweetMiner conveniently adds a shortened link. Free users are provided with the is.gd shortener by default, however users with paid accounts can set it up to use your own bit.ly account.

There are limits placed on free users.  Here’s the run down on the pricing structure and limits:

One the down side, we have only one complaint. As free users we were a bit disgruntled by the frequency of messages like these:

We understand we’ve been using the tool for free and respect the rights of the creators to monetize their hard work.  Indeed, they’ve done a very nice job – but honestly, they could cut the frequency of these reminders by half and it would still feel a bit pushy.

In our opinion, TweetMiner isn’t for everyone. If you are going to pay for a tool like this you had better be serious about tweeting. Check out the video below and then consider giving TweetMiner a whirl. In no time, you’ll be tweeting golden links and making your followers happy, happy.
