How many blogs do you have? If you maintain more than one blog, you probably want to create a different profile for each blog. And that includes a multi twitter acount for each audience. However, having a multi twitter account could mean too much hassle switching from one account to another.

If you’re planning to have a multi twitter account or you’re using them now, I’ll let you know of a multi account twitter client, EasyTweets.com. EasyTweets.com is still in beta, but it already pack some killer features:

  • multi twitter account login
  • schedule tweets to send
  • using is.gd for URL shortener. That means you can write longer messages
  • using GeoTrust SSL encryption at no cost to you
  • you can see "Replies" tab, even if it is disabled on Twitter
  • view the status of all of your Twitter accounts at a glance
  • add RSS feeds, and have them auto posted to your Twitter account
  • it’s free!

I’ve been using them for my 3 account in Twitter and it works quite good to me. The only downside I experience is the slower web response time. I’m not sure if it is due to my geographic location, but I’m agree that it’s a good alternative for you who don’t like installing desktop Twitter client like Twhirl.

Stumble Upon Removes 200 Friends Limit

The long wait is finally over. Now stumblers can no longer be as picky as they used to in adding new stumblers into their circle of friends. Stumble Upon have removed their 200 friends limit. Here’s what they said:

Over the next couple weeks we are going to separate the social & content aspects of friendship on SU, so you can subscribe to someone’s favorites without necessarily becoming their friend, and become someone’s friend without necessarily seeing their stumbles. You’ll also be able to "Subscribe" to more than 200 stumblers, since we’ve changed the way they are stored in the database. Mutuals will just be "Friends", fans will become "Subscribers" and you’ll simply be "Subscribed to" stumblers who rate great content.

Now you can "friend’ your friends without having to stumble upon their topic if it doesn’t interest you, or just following their stumbles if you’re not interested in their personality.

bukiki-stumbleupon SU has been doing great for HomeBiz Resource and it’s an effective way to spread words about your articles. Of course, I need to provide articles people are interested in and willing to share too. But apart from the content, if you use SU well and accordingly, you can have a "permanent" source of traffic to your blog. I’d like to share with you how to get the most of Stumble Upon.
