Sometimes I end up buying something I really regret buying, and this time it happened again. I can assure you that it’s not my first time, and it won’t be the last time.

Sometimes I buy a product, not based on reviews or referrals, but because I’m curious and want to test something new.

Let me tell you what happened.

I’ve been thinking about testing a new software or service for Twitter for a few weeks. I’m still using TweetAdder, and I still find it just as amazing as I did a few months ago. It works great.

Now, I’ve seen some ads for new autoresponders for Twitter. An autoresponder for Twitter is all about scheduling tweets and direct messages. I have to write all my tweets and messages, but with an autoresponder, the system sends the tweets and messages at a specific time and date.

I schedule my tweets with TweetAdder. Since TweetAdder is a software on my computer, I have to leave the computer on in order for it to send my tweets. Therefore, I wanted to test a service, where I didn’t have to leave my computer on in order to send my tweets. This service was Twt Autoresponder.

I ended up paying a one time fee of $17.

The first thing I noticed was that it was easy to add new tweets, but hard to understand what time they were going to be sent to Twitter. Since I live in Norway, I’m in a different time zone than people in the US. I had no clue about the time zone, so I decided to do some testing.

I added 10 tweets, all on different times and they were going to be published during three days (on a different Twitter account than my official one). Four days later, I discovered that none of my tweets were published, even though it looked as everything was ok.

I did some more testing, and discovered that the only thing that was working was immediate tweets. The schedule didn’t work at all.

Now, I wanted to send support a few questions. If they didn’t answer them, or didn’t make Twt Autoresponder to work as the sales page says it will work, then, I’d want a refund.

I couldn’t find contact information or support anywhere on the sales page or inside the members area. All I could find was that Twt Autoresponder is a division of Fireball Group of Companies.

I could probably find out who’s behind this, if I just did some digging. But at the moment, I just want to leave it alone. It was only $17

Twt Autoresponder might be working now, but I don’t recommend it. I did my testing and that was it.

I have been testing the brand new software from Mike Filsaime called TweetGlide. It’s a Twitter client for your PC, Mac, iPhone and iPod Touch. TweetGlide is completely free, packed with features, a really powerful marketing tool, and very profitable.

At first, it looks like an ordinary Twitter desktop client, but with a few really powerful features. By the way, the iPhone applications is not yet available.

What’s ordinary about TweetGlide?

Well, it’s a lot like TweetDeck, my favorite Twitter client. TweetGlide has panels, just like TweetDeck, only their called glides. In one panel, you’ll get your Twitter timeline, in another, you’ll get your replies, in another you’ll get your direct messages and so on. You can have as many panels as you’d like, even panels for your searches.

You’ll get a very detailed and easy to navigate Twitter client, just like TweetDeck, but with extra features.

Features of TweetGlide

You get the short url service. It turns your long and ugly url into a short and nice looking one. It’s all done with a single click on your mouse. With the short url services integrated, you also get advanced tracking. This way you’ll see how many times people click on your links, and from which tweets they clicked on them.

You get Facebook integration. When you tweet, you’ll also post to your Facebook wall.

It’s now possible to tweet more than 140 characters. With almost any other Twitter client, you can only use 140 characters, because that’s default at Twitter. With TweetGlide you can use as many characters as you want. What happens is that the first 80 characters will be posted to Twitter, and following a message like this one: To read the rest of this post click here: http://domain.com/77a334 – when people click on the link, they’ll read the rest of your message at the TweetGlide blog.

Soon you’ll be able to use TweetGlide with multiple accounts.

You can see all your followers in your profile. Here you can also bulk follow or bulk unfollow, and many other features that will make it a lot less time consuming to use Twitter.

Since this is a product of Mike Filsaime, it’s a powerful Twitter client, mostly for people involved in Internet marketing. There are some really cool features that will help you promote your products or services and help you earn money.

The Internet Marketing Features of TweetGlide

There are three features that makes this software very interesting as an Internet marketing tool.

1. Integrated system for advertisers

Every time you tweet, you’ll get 0.2 credits. For every 5 tweets you earn 1 credit. There’s a built in spam protection system, so you can only earn 1 credit every 3 hours, no matter how many times you tweet. This means that, for every 5 tweets, your advertisement will be shown 1 time in the sponsored tweets to TweetGlide members.

2. Downline tweets

When you use TweetGlide you get credits on 5 levels, with an unlimited number on each level. This means that for every 5 tweet made by you or your members, you’ll earn 1 credit and your ad will be shown 1 time. This way, it should be really easy to earn a lot of credits.

3. Paid sponsored ads

If you don’t want to promote TweetGlide in order to earn credits, you can pay for your ads. When you pay for your ads, they’ll show up straight away.

Final thoughts

TweetGlide is the most powerful Twitter client that I’ve tried. The marketing potential by using this software is incredible. It doesn’t matter what kind of products you’re selling or what type of service you’re offering. Twitter is one of the most powerful systems for marketers today, and when you combine it with TweetGlide, you’re in for a long and profitable experience.

I have been using Tweet Adder for about a week. I bought it on May 29, but I didn’t really start using it before the day after. So far, I have an incredible story to tell you.

I never spam

I’m not one of those guys that will try to spam Twitter, or try to get thousands of new followers in just a few days. I enjoy quality, and I try my best to keep my Twitter experience a good one. I’m not testing Twitter, in order to see how I can exploit the system before I get suspended.

I’m only using one account, even though I know that I probably should use several (one for personal stuff, one for business, maybe even one for each of my blogs). So, that being said, I was a little sceptical when I bought Tweet Adder, and I was unsure how I was going to use it, in order not to become yet another spammer.

So, let me tell you how my experience with Tweet Adder have been.

For Windows and Mac

The reason I bought Tweet Adder in the first place, and not one of the other similar Twitter software (like Hummingbird) was due to the fact that I can use Tweet Adder on both a PC and a Mac. This is the first Twitter software I have found that I can use on my MacBook.

Testimonials

Before buying it, I searched google for testimonials. I even asked people on discussion forums what they thought of Tweet Adder. All the information I gathered were great feedback, not one negative response.

How I am using Tweet Adder

The reason I am using Tweet Adder, and the reason I am so incredibly satisfied with this software, is because it’s really easy to find targeted followers. I do it, by first finding targeted people to follow, and when I find the right people to follow, usually, they follow me back.

For instance, I am following people who are interested in Internet Marketing. I have specified that I want to follow people who are using “Internet Marketing” as a keyword in their tweets, and/or as part of their profile (bio) on Twitter. I am also using several other keywords related to my interests.

This is a really powerful feature. I’m only looking for targeted followers.

What I am not using (but could be using)

I am only using Tweet Adder to get targeted followers, but I could also be using the software to send direct messages to all my followers, or send tweets at specific times. Since I live in Norway, I could send tweets while I’m sleeping, and most of my followers are online (they live in the US). It’s a powerful feature, but I haven’t used it yet.

I can also specify Tweet Adder to do some automated tasks every time I log in, or at a specific time every single day. For instance, I could unfollow (as many people as I want) at a specific time, automatic follow users, or automatic send a message to all my followers.

Results

As I wrote earlier, I’ve been using Tweet Adder for about a week. And I am not a spammer, so I’ve just been adding a few followers every single day (instead of hundreds). During a week, I have close to 300 new targeted followers at Twitter. And, I’ve spent no more than 20 minutes during the week to get all the followers. Most of the stuff is done by the pust of a single button.

If I wanted to, I could probably have added an extra thousand followers in a week. To me, 300 new targeted followers a week, is more than enough.

Screenshots

I have added a few screenshots from when I first started using Tweet Adder. At that time, I had 1765 followers, now as I am writing this, I have more than 2000.

Software updates

It’s been an interesting week. During the week I’ve received five updates of Tweet Adder. The company behind the software are working to keep it at the top, as the number one software for Twitter promotion and marketing. I think they are doing an awesome job.

Summary

To me, Tweet Adder is the perfect Twitter companion. It’s easy to use, yet extremely powerful. Follow my progress on Twitter and you’ll understand what I’m talking about.
