I took a screenshot of the Twitter page for NeuroNow yesterday around midnight. Here it is:
All the numbers are looking good. I left TweetAdder running yesterday while I was out of WIFI and EVDO contact - who knew that was possible :-) - and look at the numbers today:
The tools I set up yesterday to tweet, follow people that followed me, and add new followers that might be interested in NeuroNow seem to be doing a good job. I'm also getting a bunch of Direct Messages (DMs), which can mean that I've picked up some spammy followers. TweetAdder will allow you to automatically send new followers a DM; I'm not planning to use that feature for NeuroNow.
I'm not going to change any of the settings for TweetAdder for the moment, but I am going to go back and add some more neuroscience blogs that I have been following for awhile. AllTop.com is a great way to get started, but I want to put a little more personality into the tweets.
This time I'm going to use Google Alerts to add tweets to NeuroNow. Start by going to Google.Com/Alerts and log in using your new google email account info. I'm going to make a search for "cognitive enhancers" and see what Google can do.
Your page should look like this:
When you accept that info, you will now get a dialog something like this:
...And now, all you need to do is click on the feed link and put it on TwitterFeed.com. It will look something like this:
So, now I'll get some tweets about a particular kind of query used by Google users - and I can post them to my Twitter feed automatically! Let's see how is works tomorrow.
