Twitter Lists – Twitter followers lists
Twitter has come out with a new feature called Twitter lists. What it essentially does, is allow you to group people together that are on Twitter about whatever topic you feel like creating.
You can name it and it then creates a new url in the name of the list. For example I created a list called Super Tweeps and this the url for it: https://twitter.com/dannyintampa/super-tweeps
Here are some of the features you can do with Twitter lists:
- Follow other peoples’ lists
- Put peeps in certain lists so you can easily follow their streams without seeing every one of your Twitter stream
- Find out how popular someone is according to how many lists they are in
- Easily find more twitter followers based on the keywords of peoples’ lists
- Gauge your popularity from the number of lists you are on
- Easily share and tweet your lists
I can see some people like using Twitter lists and others hate using it. The great thing is if you don’t want to create any lists you can continue using Twitter just like you always have and just ignore making any lists altogether.
Some “Twitter Drama” may occur if you make a list called top 10 tweeps or favorite tweeps and fail to put someone in that list that thinks they belong. So be aware of the fact of who you do and don’t put in your lists and what they are named.
Twitter lists are a great new resource and an example of how people are using twitter to communicate in everyday life.
What about you – do you plan on making Twitter lists? Please share on the comment section below.

How are People Using Twitter to Communicate in Everyday Life – Having the Right Mindset When Tweeting
Twitter is about building relationships with people. Of course we all want to know how to get more followers and as long as we’re bonding with those followers, then we’ve got the right mindset. If you have ten thousand followers but hardly any of them are paying attention to your tweets what good is that going to do for you? An important thing to think of when getting on Twitter is establishing long lasting friendships with others.
5 Ideas That Will Help You Remember To Get Things Done
Guest Post by Eren Mckay
Have you ever found yourself simply forgetting to do important tasks? Forgetting to do things on time can cause a lot of stress in your family life and even affect your health. Establishing habits and systems can help you remember your tasks. However, it’s essential to take into consideration your personality type and your lifestyle when setting up these habits. If you don’t think about these factors there’s a big chance that the “systems” that you attempt to set up will end up not working for you.
Get Motivated
The first thing that needs to happen when establishing any change in your habits is getting motivated. Remembering to do things may seem simple but it requires a perseverance to maintain the habits. Every person is unique. Specific life situations, experiences and personal make up are things that influence us to get really excited about certain things and not so excited about others. Read more
What is Follow Friday?
If you are new to twitter you will notice every Friday tons of tweets from tweeps recommending other fellow twitter friends with the #hash tag of #FF or #Follow Friday.
Now the concept is great but I don’t think it get’s applied in the right way because most people will not actually go ahead and follow the people who are being recommended.
So what Follow Friday essentially becomes is just a way to say thanks or give props to the people you enjoy communicating with, which is fine but I don’t think is what it’s original intention was.
In theory you would think you would gain a lot more followers on follow friday but I have found that not to be the case even for someone who gets quite a few follow friday recommendations.
Not to say that follow friday is a bad thing or doesn’t work because I am sure there are different results with other people and it is still a popular trend. So I would love to hear what you do when someone you respect on twitter recommends a fellow tweep on follow friday, do you actually follow them?

How To Create An Effective Landing Page
Guest Post by Gagandeep Singh
A landing Page is the first page which a visitor see on your website. A visitor can reach your landing page through search engine, by clicking a link in your promotional email or paid search campaign. Each Company has a landing page where all its visitors are being directed to . These pages contain a call to action message for your visitor and help you to fulfill your goals which are sometimes selling a product or getting specific information.
Things to know before Designing a Landing Page
Before Designing a Landing page, you should ask yourselves the purpose of landing page and desired action which you want your visitors to take after reaching at your landing page. Once you are clear about the purpose of landing page and action which you want to be taken by your visitor then you can move further to design your own Landing Page.
Important Tips For Effective Landing Page
Information: – In order to push your visitor to take desired action you need to provide him with the information which can convince him to take action. Remember the more information you provide, the more you sell. Keep the message straight and clear. Don’t put any useless information on your landing page. For eg: – If you are selling a product, tell them about your term and conditions and other shipping information clearly or If you want some information about the visitor , convince them that their information would be completely save with you and won’t be used anywhere else without their permission.
Pages Should Load quickly: – Be Sure that your pages should load quickly even on Dial up connections as many users are still using dialup connections. An ideal Landing page should load in less than 8 seconds.
Avoid Flash: – Avoid using Flash To make your landing page more cool. Use of Flash not only stops users with old browser to view your landing page but also it is not search engine friendly and take more time to load.
F-Pattern Principle: – Web Studies reveals that human eyes read a page in F-pattern. So Make Your Landing Page according to F-pattern Principle.
Be Persuasive: – Your Landing page should able to pursue your visitor to take the action. There are very few persons who take action of your own, you need to convince majority else they won’t take any action.
Structure of Landing Page: – Your Landing page should be simple and easy to read. Users don’t like to scroll so entire landing page should fit in the screen. The main message should be at the center. Break big paragraphs in to small paragraphs. Mark your links clearly. Use graphics to make the page more interactive.
Make it Easy: – Try to make everything as easy as possible for your prospect. If you are looking for any information make your input form very simple and don’t ask for any unwanted information. If you are selling any product make the checkout process simple and short, Auto-populate the field wherever possible.
Test, Modify and Test Again: – Each niche has its own audience and one could not determine what an effective landing page would be for any niche so keep your landing page testing, analyze the results, modify your landing page and then test it again until you are satisfied with your landing page.

Weight Loss Update
Ok it has been three weeks since I have started my weight loss routine and I am happy to report that I have loss seven pounds. My starting weight was 279 now I am down to 272. I was getting a little frustrated because I had been weighing myself everyday and didn’t seem like was getting much results however the past week the weight has come down.
I know some people say it is not good to weight yourself everyday but I have to for some reason and has become a part of my routine. I have been working out with my brother and after we work out we walk over to Publix and weigh in at the scale there. It is good because it is another half mile walk added to my routine and get to see my results.
I also got some great workout tips from my twitter friend who has a fitness blog check it out.
Well I hope I can keep up this pace and I know it will become more difficult and I would like to thank everyone who has commented here with all their support.
Tips For Buying A Solar Power Kit
Guest Post By John Smith
If you are thinking about going to solar power on your home, without spending a lot of money, buying a DIY solar kit is your best option. But it’s not quite as simple as going down to your local hardware store and picking up a box of parts ready to assemble.
Picking the right solar power kit for you requires careful planning. If you have a lot of experience with home repair and installation, you will probably be fine on your own.For you the minimal manufacturer support to answer occasional questions about specific parts is more than enough. But if you are like the rest of us, with no experience installing solar panels, your best bet will be to find a kit supplier that offers a lot of technical support for both planning and for installation.
You’ll need to find a kit supplier that will be available not only by email, but by telephone. You might even want to find one that offers in-person support, if needed. Your supplier should be able to help you figure out the proper size and configuration for your solar energy system, based on your household’s specific energy needs. This planning step is crucial. If you buy a solar power system that is too small you could face long periods of time in the dark. Buying one too large could end up costing far more that you should be spending. In picking the right size you are Goldilocks, searching for the bowl of porrage that is just right. Your home’s location also plays an important part is determining what you need. Trees and nearby tall buildings can block the sun and make it difficult to get enough sun. You should also make note of your local climate. Although new technology makes it easier for solar panels to aborb light even in cloudy areas, you will still need to adjust your solar power system to fit your area’s needs.
Backup storage is also an important part to research. Even if you plan to supplement your solar power system with traditional electricity, you will need some batteries to store power in. And there is a wide range of batteries to choose from, and some need more maintenance than others. An experienced solar power retailer can help you choose the perfect one. The time you spend researching solar power kits will pay off in the long run. Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions. Do ask around for other people’s recommendations. In the end you can make a complicated project much simpler and more enjoyable.
Is this grill cheese a fake?
I recently made a stunning accusation that Harrison Painter a fellow tweep had made a less than desirable grill cheese via a video he posted to my friend @VAinparadise.
Looking at the video which you can find here the subject here is my tweet which stirred up this big controversy
@VAinParadise Hey @HarrisonPainter your grilled cheese doesnt look grilled —–>>http://tweetube.com/50m
Here is Mr Painters response
HarrisonPainter @dannyintampa An accusation that my grilled cheese is a forgery, a fake? That I would somehow dishonor the Grilled Cheese Sandwich?
It is my opinion that this so called sandwich is not a real grilled cheese since it does not appear to be grilled at all. So we turn to the twitter universe to make the call is this a real grill cheese sandwich. Please cast your vote below.
