Twitter Tool Question
-
I've been searching for a tool that will allow me to send mass tweets to multiple @accounts?
For example, I use Topsy to see who's shared my content and want to send a follow up tweet to everyone who has, but find it time-consuming to do this manually.
What I have in mind is something where I can upload a spreadsheet of Twitter names, write one tweet and for this to be tweeted at everyone on the list.
I haven't found what I'm looking for so far. Does anyone know of such a tool?

Yeah I've seen that Chris, thanks. I think it pulls this in from the @connect tab on Twitter.

Hi Matt,
Hootsuite you can add a tab called "mentions" and "retweets" and you can then see anyone that's talking to you and reply from there its a bit more manually maybe but would let you communicate.
You can also track your mentions so over time you can keep an eye on it. My only regret I find with using hoot suite is it would be helpful for a bigger notice of a reply (sound or pop up etc.)
Hope that helps.

Chris, Jonathan, Christy, thanks for your replies. I'm really sorry for such a long delay acknowledging these, I've actually only just realised there were answers to my post.
@Chris, I already use Hootesuite and find it really useful, but for this particular task I don't think it's up to the job. This is the scenario: I created a piece of content that got over 100 tweets. I wanted to very quickly send a follow up tweet to these people, basically to add fuel to the fire and keep the conversation going. Hootesuite does not do this, as far as I am aware.
@Jonathan, I've not used Tweetadder. Sounds interested and could possibly be what I'm looking for. I'll check it out. Thanks for the advice.
@Christy, not simply a thank you tweet as such, but something to continue the discussion and hopefully get more shares for the content. You're right, mass tweets isn't the best way to go about things, but individual tweets was simply not possible on this occasion.
Thanks to all 3 of you for taking the time to reply.

Hi Matt, what did you end up going with?

Hi Matt, do you mean that you want to send the same thank you tweet to multiple people? If so, I highly discourage this. It will be highly obvious to your followers what you are doing, and possibly more insulting than appreciated. Automated DMs and replies can actually cost you followers. If someone takes the time to share your content, and you truly appreciate it, isn't it worth the time to send them a personalized tweet? (And it will definitely encourage them to share your content in the future, ahem.) That said, while you are most likely to maximize engagement if you respond organically -- as soon as possible after your content is shared -- I realize this isn't also practical. If this is the case, I would consider hammering out that list of personalized thank you tweets on a spreadsheet and scheduling them in advance (staggered, so you don't flood your feed with thank yous and overwhelm your followers.) Hootsuite makes it super simple to do this. Hope that helps! (Christy)

I too am not sure if it completely fits, but I use tweetadder.com
I am assuming you want to put in the "@name" at the beginning of each tweet. Tweetadder will let you import a list of tweets, and then it will tweet this out at a schedule (times \ intervals etc). Its also a one off fee.
I use Tweetadder to auto retweet, find followers (relevant), set scheduled tweets, manage followers etc. It is very good.

Not sure if it fits completely fits but have you looked into "hoot suite" ? it has a free trail type thing (so you can at least test). You can submit the same message to multiple accounts.

Twitter T&Cs
We're considering running a promotion to donate some cash to a charity for every new follower we gain during our user conference. Could this be considered buying followers, which could put our account at risk for closure?

Twitter cards - one account, various domains?
Hi guys, I have a number of events run by the same company, all with their own websites. For a number of reasons, these individual events don't have their own social channels. Instead, the company's main social channels are used to promote the events wherever possible. I want to implement twitter card markup into each of the sites and associate the markup with the company's main twitter account. Does anyone know whether it's possible to get twitter cards approved for one account across multiple domains? I'd hate to apply for one site using the account, only to find out I can't apply for others! So before I venture into the unknown, was hoping someone could shed some light on this. Cheers 🙂

Finding authoritative sources on Google+ - is there a tool?
I'm looking for a way to find authoritative sources on Google+ on certain subjects. I define an authoritative source as someone who is in a lot of people's circles, and the content they curate gets shared, +1, and commented a lot. The subjects are variable, but for an example: What's the best way to find authoritative sources on Google+ on the subject of auto technology. Does anyone know of a tool that can do this?

Identifying members on Twitter
We are a member based company. Membership is by business not individual. So for instance if your widget business is a member anyone with a johndoe@widget.com email address can sign up and use all our content, portals, etc. I want to take emails and figure out if they are on Twitter. I know Twitter allows you to search your contact list but this wouldn't be that. It would be a list of emails I create. Are there any tools or suggestions to do this in a efficient way besides searching each individual name on Twitter? Thanks for the help.

Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. Is there value in a presence on them?
I have a client (professional practice) whose father is a marketing professor. He is pushing the client that he should have a professional page on social sites. While I believe having FB likes, shares, Tweet links, +1, etc. on the page, I really am ambivalent about building pages specifically for social media sites.
