Guy revealed the way in which he is staying atop the crowd on Twitter and earning his massive following through hard work… with a little help from some select apps.

At about the 44 minute mark, he explains for what, and how he uses TwitterHawk.

My intentions aren’t to become some workd renowned blogger, but more use my own blog as a way to help market myself and my side projects.

I’ll obviously be writing items that relate to said projects, but I’ll also be putting up random things of interest and solutions to problems that often take a while to solve… if not for other people to get use out of, then for myself when I come across that same problem a couple of months down the track and have forgotten the solution!

Then of course are the funnies… no personal blog is complete without the funnies, so don’t fret, I’ll throw in some stuff from the lighter side as well.

Let’s say you just opened a new coffee store in Queens and wanted to let people know about it. As part of your advertising efforts, you could setup TwitterHawk to search for things like “coffee near:Queens within:8mi” (of course you could simply search world wide if you are global).

We would then periodically (at a frequency determined by you) find twitter posts that mentioned coffee by users that are actually located within 8 miles of Queens such as
‘@cracksh0t Oh I could really go for a coffee right now’ or
‘@loxly Coffee… my one true love’

Depending on how you set your search up, the system will then either send the response automatically right then, or it will add it to your matches list for you to check over and confirm.

Should there be a match for coffee on something like ‘@coffeeh8r I cannot stand coffee!!!’ you can simply remove this from your matches list!

What is it? Basically a drunk idea, a place to ramble rubbish jibber jabber after a few brews. Share your drunken tales with the rest of the world…

You can post directly from your iPhone if you have one to the site, so you can get on the action while you’re on the drink… rather than wait till you get home.

Anyway, sign up, have a beer, have a play, have a laugh at other peoples ramblings!

It’s ideal for anyone else who is not very technical but who wants to blog or share photos online. It’s also a fine tool for web guru’s who would like to just blog from their email environment knowing that they can paste inline and attached images into their emails and they’ll be handled nicely when they are published online. Lookout for some cool image gallery features we have coming very soon.
