Hope this isn't what you're looking for: February 4th, 2009Commercial Twitter spamming tool hits the marketPosted by Dancho Danchev @ 9:02 am Last week, a commercial Twitter spamming tool (tweettornado.com) pitching itself as a "fully automated advertising software for Twitter" hit the market, potentially empowering phishers, spammers, malware authors and everyone in between with the ability to generate bogus Twitter accounts and spread their campaigns across the micro-blogging service. TweetTornado allows users to create unlimited Twitter accounts, add unlimited number of followers, which combined with its ability to automatically update all of bogus accounts through proxy servers with an identical message make it the perfect Twitter spam tool. TweetTornado's core functionality relies on a simple flaw in Twitter's new user registration process. Tackling it will not render the tool's functionality useless, but will at least ruin the efficiency model. Sadly, Twitter doesn't require you to have a valid email address when registering a new account, so even though a nonexistent@email.com is used, the user is still registered and is allowed to use Twitter.

I get a lot of invitations to events that I just ignore or say no to immediately. It's no biggie to me.

With the invite tool I think the respondent has the option to ignore future invitations. I don't have any pending invitations to check. If the invitee has the calendar app there may be a way to put the event on his/her calendar too. No idea how to do that tho.

No, you can use it from the web, your phone, or any number of freestanding clients (Tweetdeck, Twitterfox, Twhirl, etc.) Look at it as microblogging. You have 140 characters to say what you want. People use it for different reasons. For Allan and me it's purely personal and social. For some of our local Twitter peeps, it's about networking and sharing info and links. Last night we went to a Tweetup — 30 local Twitter users in a bourbon bar. It was great fun, and we met some really cool people. So it's a good way to meet people, too.

Geez, I just hope this can of worms doesn't get to be unmanageable. They're already running a website - Facebook is to be relaunched and MySpace, Twitter, and an e-mail newsletter to be probably/eventually added... My job-jar is full. And that's just this one org... Yeesh. Sure would be nice if there was one universal admin utlity to push out updates to FB, MySpace and Twitter all at once.
You can update FB from an email. If you can do the same for MySpace, and Twitter (I believe this is possible) you might be able to do it all in one bulk email. If Twitter was to take the header line "My event happens at *** on *** from ***. Bring Friends" that sorts Twitter and then the message body hits MySpace and FB.

In my experience there are often certain 'key' people within a certain group. If you know some of your audience (the people who always turn up, post on the wall etc) sending them PMs can be quite effective. Also, is there a way to travel back in time and see who stole my wallet from my locker?

They've been passing out slips of paper with the Facebook page URL at events and including it in the email newsletters. Every member who RSVPs to an event becomes free advertising for the event, because it goes on his profile page. Joining or becoming a fan of the online organization also winds up in member profiles.
I think it's a great model, especially if there was some incentive to RSVP (a discount on admission, say, or free drinks or hors d'oeuvres). It gets people involved and ripples out from every interested customer.

140 characters per tweet, yes. Check out Threadless's page to see how they do stuff.

Are you a Twitter user? If so, do you get tweets from organizations or entitys other than individuals? Have you seen any venues using Twitter?
Hi Beaker. Yes, yes, no. I've seen businesses using it. I follow some local businesses and some national ones like Threadless. If any of our venues were on Twitter, I would follow them despite getting their info from Facebook event pages and the like. Regarding MySpace and age: I have always hated MySpace, but I made a profile there anyway a few years ago. I just deleted it that week. Hate MySpace. Hate. But I understand that it's a great thing for musicians.

Any good ideas for pushing the news & info out to FBers - or what not to do or avoid?
Eventually, I'll also be creating a MySpace page for them too - so any MySpace experiences good or bad, on getting your org on MySpace, or being a friend of such an org, would also be appreciated.
Essentially, I'm asking what do you like to see / what don't you like to see. Or what you may have learned during the exercise of putting your own organization on either of these services. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Here's a recent article on FB with further food for thought: CNN Money: How Facebook is taking over our lives
BTW - is anyone here using Windows Live for social networking? Any thoughts on it? From stuff I publicise for uni a good way to go about it is to create an event for anything special - certainly the first few times. You can link it to the venues page, so they can see that, but the event will go out to anyone looking on their news feed - anyone that is a fan of the venue (or group member). They can then invite their friends etc...
