Twitter Grade of 52

According to Twitter.Grader, my relative power as a Twitter User is 52. Somehow this is derived from my update frequency, my profile, my followers, and if they have any super-human abilities. Apparently if I reach a grade of 60, I get the ability to take and understand animals. Oh and here’s my ‘badge’ of honor.

Spokeo/HR Scares Me:
Don’t think you need to mange your identity on the web? Spokeo claims 23% of recruiters already check up on their candidates MySpace and Linked in profiles. They will just help them along, checking over 40 social networks base on your email address.

Britney Got Twitter:
I can’t believe she already has over 6,400 followers and is following 1,500 twitters. Personally, I’m chalking this up to pure marketing.

Pure and simple marketing tip… my favorite: “Be honest. Under promise and over deliver.” Always a good one.

You got 5 Seconds, make it count!
Quick and simple user testing from Jared Spool. User gets a 5 second preview and are asked what they remembered. Great for tuning call to actions and scan ability.

Fav Social Network of the Moment: BriteKite
BriteKite is basically location based twitter. I’ve been using the iPhone App to check into whenever I’m at a new restaurant or location. Gimmicky right now but could be interesting in the future. Oh yeah… and it posts to my twitter with a tinyurl.
