Is it possible for a twitter user to automate a response to a tweet that I marked as a favorite?
-
If favorited a tweet of someone I don't know very well and received a response within a few minutes of the tweet asking "where have you been and what are you up to". Seems general enough to be automated and not specific enough for me to think it was personally sent by the user.
Thank you.

What you could do is check how the message was sent to the user by what connection. It could say for example that it was using a Chrome Browser or another application who supports this.

Hey Nichole,
Yes it's possible for the users to send automated responses in the form of DMs, Tweets, RTs and Favourites. Though, Twitter has very strict policies when it comes to auto responding.
There are multiple tools available for this, the best of them is IFTTT. They have good recipes for Twitter (according to Twitter rules) that you can set. Make sure to create something that looks natural to your followers.
Hope this helps!

Business Tweets Showing up Organically
Question. I've noticed in the past and more recently that if you search a business (example: Adidas) in Google, you'll see their activity on Twitter being displayed organically. How can you get your business to show? I also did some research and found that some business that have their tweets displaying are not Twitter verified. I though that may have something to do with it...I guess it doesn't. Does anyone know what "triggers" a business to have their tweets show up organically. When you search Adidas, you'll see their business info, then the twitter carousel (displays 3 tweets and a arrow to view more). Thanks for your help. 102GB

Tweet or ReTweet?
So which is better for SEO, Tweets or ReTweets? We have a tweet button on our blog which seems to work pretty good. But I have noticed a few sites that instead of tweeting, they have a ReTweet button where you are actually ReTweeting an original tweet. Any thoughts?

Anyone know if optimal Twitter use frequency for promoting a keyword i.e how much is too much
Have a Twitter account and theres much confusion over Twitters use of planting keywords into posts and have some SEO benefit from this. Wondering if anyone has come accross an effective use of promoting keyterms on by twitter posting and how often is deemed okay? Generally see some twitter users who are obvioulsy promoting keyterms for their buisness or company who put in as much as five to ten posts in any one day for the same keyword, or keyphrase. while this looks spammy surely this is liable to be flagged by the search engines? Appreciate any insights on this.

So if I wanted to monitor tweets about Lady Gaga and limit it to Austin, TX how would I filter this?
And lets say I wanted to do this over an extended period of time. And for bonus credits... is there any program that would notify me of each new tweet as it happens.
