Moving one step a head using Twitter through my cellphone

(14) Comments

I can't describe my excitement at this time :-), all because i'm now able to tweet through my stupid little old cellphone which is not even GPRS enabled using iSMS service. Its a free service, but the only thing is since its the beta version, its Invite only. I got the invitation when i commented on this post at Bhonpoo, and so every one who joins gets to invite 10 more people to join the service. Once you invite some one and they accept the invitation and join the service, you get 5 more invites added to your account, which is a wonderful way of growing.
Once you are being invited by someone, you receive an email, you create your account, you put in your cellphone number and you start recieving sms from iSMS server. Than you integrate your twitter account simply by putting in your twitter name and password and start tweeting simply by typing tweet "140 characters of message" and send to iSMS server. It will be updated in seconds.
If you wanna send me a tweet after you have joined you can do it by typing zeesh "140 characters of message" and send it to iSMS server.
Alrite, so far this is an awesome service for me, i am assuming i can now tweet atleast 50 times more than i used to do before, because now twitter is handy, now its in my pocket all the time, i can tweet before i go to bed, i can tweet when the power is out and it's all free and hopefully it will remain free :-). So i'm simply lovin it.
Leave a comment here to get the invites, only 10 available right now....!!

Please Retweet by clicking here if you like the service and want other to use it.

Has my Blog really gone viral??

6:19 PM

(5) Comments

Only God knows in what conditions i am making this blog post, I haven't slept for more than 30 hours, its getting tougher for me to manage my business classes along with a full time job and of course i have some (real) social life as well.

Ok, so here's the thing, I am making this blog post only because something extra ordinary has happened and is still happening with my recent post How to put a Retweet link in your Tweets. As you all can clearly see, my blog is quite messed up at the moment and it's only been a couple of months I started blogging, out of which the first month passed out only learning how to blog.

First of all i would like to thank @Dhollings for providing such a great tip, and just to spread his word i made a quite similar post and believe me or not, the only reason was, so that people start Retweeting more and more and in this way interesting articles and blog posts may get the traffic and the kind of responce they actually deserve.

This is what happened when i used my own technique to put the Retweet link in my Tweet.
I obviously don't have time to count the number of followers my tweet reached.



Apart from this, my blog was being linked at some of the greatest blogs as you can see here at Techcrunch. For which i would really like to thank Techcrunch.

And in the end my special thanks to Retweetist for providing such a great backup support and marketing for my blog post and of course Thanks a lot to twitter for being so effective and essential. Twitter is the Future!

I have some more great ideas and tips through which we can play around with these tools more and get unbelievable amount of traffic everyday. Please comment here so that i can see how much am i appreciated and so that i'm encouraged enough to take out time and post some more articles.

How to put a Retweet link in your Tweets

12:19 AM

(4) Comments

Hello people, I have been really busy lately since my university started from 16th and along with a full time job and a social network (in real life) it gets pretty tougher to manage and still be able to take out time for blogging and socializing on web. But i am glad that i am back blogging again :-).

This post is to help all those who still don't know how to put RT link in their tweets to be able to make viral tweets, and spread their blog links on twitter and finally get more traffic to your blog through twitter.

OK its pretty simple

This is how you are gonna start, type http://twitter.com/home?status=

Than type your message like this,

http://twitter.com/home?status=RT @zeeshanraza How to put a Retweet link in your Tweets http://tinyurl.com/86qc3h

Now you wanna remove all the spaces in between with %20 and all the @ ("at" sign) and #(hashtag) with %40 and %23 respectively.

so now you get a pretty long and ugly looking URL like this

http://twitter.com/home?status=RT%40zeeshanraza%20How%20to%20put%20a%20Retweet%20link%20in%20your %20Tweets%20http://tinyurl.com/86qc3h

Test your URL in a web browser, and than shorten when it works fine.

thats it, now you are ready to tweet with a RT link.

http://tinyurl.com/76cwa5 this is the shorten URL.

If you like this and would like to share it, you can just CLICK HERE to Re tweet it :-)

I would like to say thanks to 
@dhollings for providing this useful tip.
