I like Guy&#8217;s books and I have 4 of them &#8211; Selling the Dream, How to Drive Your Competition Crazy, Rules for Revolutionaries and another book on creating customer evangelists he co-authored with someone else. I highly recommend his books.</p>
<p><strong>Automatic Twitter Follow Tools</strong></p>
<p>At the moment, I am very keen on testing Twitter tools that can automate the following of people have chosen to follow me on Twitter. I know of 2 services that do this:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.tweetlater.com/">TweetLater</a></li>
<li><a href="http://socialtoo.com/">SocialToo</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Advanced Twitter Search Tools</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.twellow.com">Twellow</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.stone.com/Twittelator/">Twittelator</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.tweetdeck.com/beta/">TweetDeck</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Automatic Blog Post Posters to Twitter</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://twitterfeed.com/alltop">twitterfeed</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Before You Proceed&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p>Please read <a href="http://twitterhelp.blogspot.com/2008/08/suspended-accounts.html">Twitter&#8217;s rules</a> on what they consider to be spam! I have seen a few banned Twitter when I tried to follow them back after they had followed me.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, spam on Twitter means:</p>
<ul>
<li>Commercial or promotional use of Twitter</li>
<li>Following other accounts in order to gain attention to your account or links therein</li>
<li>Creating a series of accounts in order to promote the same thing</li>
<li>Sending large numbers of @reply messages that are not genuine replies</li>
<li>Writing about one thing but linking to another</li>
<li>A large number of users have blocked you</li>
<li>Impersonation, illegal content, or any violation of the <a href="http://twitter.com/tos">Twitter Terms of Service</a></li>
</ul>
