Twitter revealed

I've often thought some people on Twitter post robotically. Some are admitted robots. But some just seem to maniacally post links.

I knew you could automate some tweets, but what I didn't know is that you can automate tweeting about blogs via RSS feeds.

is either corrupting me completely, or teaching me the secrets of google-fu.

They give a step-by-step tutorial on "mastering" twitter. You can go look for yourself, but it's taken me on a journey to twitterfeed.com

And my favorite tip??

Open a Social Oomph Account and setup your automatic DM Message. Example message:

Hey what's up? I'm more active on Facebook - add me over there and lets chat: http://www.facebook.com/yourusername

I love this because I hate typing in 140 chars and I'm much more comfy on FB at this time. Though I hate the idea of a robotic direct message and may not use Social Oomph....but I may try this by actually doing something crazy like typing.

I haven't finished the Twitter tutorial but may have more to report.

Stats and Stuff Update
- web hits are down
- sales remain sluggish, but steadily sluggish
- my mailing list is barely growing
- the contest still has almost no entries (40)
- Facebook page is not growing
- Adwords is calling and bugging me so I tried one last try
- I started a FaceBook ad for the contest

p.s. the contest is at: http://www.makeupdealoftheday.com/pages/makeup-tips-contest-200-worth-of-makeup-to-the-winner

I will have the contest Makeup Haul photos up soon and perhaps that will help.
