I'm going to document the results of the first week of real time work with NeuroNow. Here are the numbers:
In a week of Twittering with NeuroNow, I've gotten the follower count to 164, and have set up a pretty good system of auto-twittering on the subject of neuroscience. Here's the current Twitter page:
As you can see, I fancied up the page a bit. I also added a website after I got a DM asking me why I didn't have one. That only took a few minutes, at least after I decided that it would be easier to set up a blog on Blogger than Word Press. Both are great, or you could use Posterous or another system, but I chose blogger because you can easily set up a blog site that just tweets. Here's the result at neuro-now.blogspot.com:
This provides an additional location for the Neuro Now feed. Being lazy, I removed the blogging area and replaced it with a Twitter gadget. Now the Twitter profile has a website URL and feels more professional.
I didn't make any changes to TwitterFeed today, but I've been getting occasional bad links in tweets that I have to delete. I'll check into that tomorrow.
I was curious to see if Google Search was seeing the NeuroNow activity:
Woohoo! Number 1 with a bullet! Google is taking real time seriously.
Now that the numbers are high enough on Twitter, I'm moving the automation settings for TweetAdder up:
These settings should increase followers more quickly. Let's see how it works.
