Measure how Happy you are on Twitter via Happy Tweets !

Hello Humanoids. I am trying to stay away from twitter as much as i can but its next to impossible for me to totally stay away from it. Due to the time i spend on Twitter, i come across various websites,blog and startups.One such website ( Twitter related website) is called Happy Tweets.

So what is Happy Tweets all about ?

Happytweets is a measuring stick for how positive, or happy, a particular Tweep is. Enter the Twitter username for you or one of your buddies, click the "get happy" button, and you'll find out how happy your Tweets are

 Oh kay, but how do they calculate it ?


Actually, i have no idea, but most probably it depends on the words like " happy, smile, joy, etc " and maybe it could even include some smileys. The website owner still has decided not to tell us the particular words that could make this user stat possible .

What if the owner tells us How the stat is calculated ?

There are two sides of this . The positive side is that we finally can understand which words and symbols are included in this stat calculation, he needs to make this process transparent . The bad side is that once the words and symbols are disclosed people may start using it and will increase their " How happy you are " Score.

What else does this site have ?

Nothing much. It has a right sidebar which has 10 Most - Happiest tweeps, 10 least - Happiest tweeps ( :/ )

How do i calculate ? 

Just enter the Twitter username here  :

 

And you will get the result,  

 

Well there are far too many websites taking advantage of the Twitter API . Lets see how popular this becomes .

So How Happy are you on Twitter ?

", others would have been like " I am always on Twitter " and some people who think in a different way would have been like " Interesting, i would love to know how much time i spend on Twitter ! " . Good news " different people " , Tweetwaster comes to your rescue .

Before writing further, the above question can be better written as : So how much time do you spend on Twitter ? It was written because it matched the content.

I was closely following the website developer's ( @itcn) updates about his upcoming website, i knew the idea was pretty cool, it shows you an estimate of how much time you spend on twitter .

[How To ] Add Twitter to your Signatures - Email , Forums and Blogs !

Hello Humanoids. I have real tough time keeping up with my blog due to my schedule these days, but i do keep in touch with world of internet thanks to my Google Reader and Twitter !

Email signatures is used by most of us, its just like our IRL signature on the internet, its our identity .But signatures are mostly used by business professionals while others tend to mess their signatures with stupid things like - Random HTML scripts which is too bright for the eyes , but now with Tweeterbars you can add Twitter to your email signatures , you just need to put the HTML code in the signature box and you are all done to send show your twitter updates to the receiver.

You can similarly make signatures for Forums, Forums have BBCode enabled ( almost everywhere ) , so thee shouldn't be any problem as the tweeterbar code is available in HTML , BBCode as well as URl form .

The URL form can be useful for bloggers , just navigate to the url and save it on your computer . Make a HTML script out of it and add it to your signatures ( Blogger dot com users - navigate to Settings and then set your signature , if you need help post in the comment box ) .

Here are some screen shots  :

 

 

Result  :



I have to try the BBCode still since the forum i am actively on has disable BBCode , but it will for sure  ,

Give it a try . Also, i found an alternative called : Twitsig which is quite similar , has more layout but isn't as smooth as Tweeterbar ! Twitter Signatures sounds cool by the way :)

Start Earning from Twitter via Twitter Ad Network - Be a Magpie !

Hello Humanoids . Twitter , one of the coolest and most used web service on Internet these days . Yep , even I am on Twitter and i suggest you to make a Twitter account if you don't have one .


Like every other Tweeter , I am on Twitter to make new friends , keep in touch with my friends , know more about some great people and advertise my blog (... what ? ) . But now , there is a better reason to be on Twitter - Money , yes you saw it right . Now you can earn money via twitter .

The so called " Twitter AD network " - Be A Magpie , sends an AD in the form of a tweet ( from the registered account ) and you get paid for it ! The AD tweets are sent 1 in 5 tweets ( default ) and are topic specific . And the most important thing - you get paid monthly in terms on How many people follow you , its not about how many you follow , so spamming won't help sir :)


So How does it work ?

Here's how it works

1. You define a tweet frequency at which you will accept magpie-tweets for your Twitter account. Given your current tweet rate does permit it, our service will try to find a matching magpie-tweet and twitter it.
2. Magpie-tweets will contain the hashtag (what?) "#magpie" and thus be readily identifiable from your other tweets.
3. For each sucessfully delivered magpie-tweet you will be rewarded in cash. Remuneration depends on the number of your followers and the popularity of the magpie-tweet's topic.

Let me tell you this that you shall get paid in Euros and if you have 100 follower you shall get only 3 Euros and you need 50 euros to get paid via Paypal , just like you get paid after you earn 100 $ in Adsense.

Simple , right ? 


Before registering yourself ,  i suggest you to  PLEASE READ THIS  .


How do you see the future of such networks ?

I am not an expert but i can tell you that this can kill Twitter , yes . Now everyone will be Twittering for the sake of money and all you'll receive is spam .  But you can block them , right ? Yes , but what if everybody including starts doing it ?  God save twitter . 

Start Earning !
