Some great Twitter stuff found on other blogs and on twitter

‘Tweeting for Companies 101′:

‘Before I wrap this up, there are a few other ‘Tweet like a pro’ ideas:

1. Shorten your URLs at Tweetburner where you can also track stats on these links !
2. The mother of all places to find everything awesome Twitter is: http://twitter.pbwiki.com/
3. Want to set up a ‘group’ tweet? This is way cool: Grouptweet (have multiple employees send messages to d companyname with a message that you can aggregate at @companyname)
4. Give people beer for good deeds with Foamee

Now you are ready to tweet like a pro!’
