Hi Erik,
That was a post that introduced some very useful tools. Many of the tools you described there are new to me. I’m sure that making use of them consistently and religiously will sure help me boost my Twitter exposure and influence.
I’d also like to add a tool to that collection- JustRetweet. It sure helps get some more Retweets and exposure. I’ve been making use of that tool too.
And talking about the tips you shared to help boost followers, all 7 of those tips are very useful and effective. My personal favorite is #3, which is like give and take. You help others and they follow you in return! 🙂
Found this post on Kingged.com, where I’ll Kingg it!

Well, sure nice tools but what’s the point of getting Twitter followers that will never retweet, reply on tweet or click a link? It is a bit pointless to get followed by 2000 fake accounts, don’t you think so?
Sunday says
Yes, while these free tools could be handy to increase Twitter exposure for marketers. I have used a couple of these and others. The seven tips to increase natural followers described in this post are spot on. Twitter has its rules and it is important to follow or apply these rules.

Silvia Gomez says
These looks like some great tools. I can’t blame anyone for using tools these days to help them promote their account and services… social media these days is just like a full time job if you want it to go anywhere. I currently use Tweet Adder 4. It’s one of my favorite twitter bots.
Kuldeep says

Hey Erik
Good post regarding Twitter tools. There are so many on the Internet at this moment. I think it is a waste of time to try all them or even use more than 3-4.
If we focus on using 3-4 tools for Twitter, we are losing more time than saving some.
For now, I’m stick with Buffer and manually publishing and interacting with my audience.
Vicky says
Nice twitter tools and using tools will surely get lot of engagement in our followers. I guess all the quite popular too.
Stephan says

Hey Erik,
It’s great for finding popular HashTags, but it’s also great for helping you execute your Tweets at the perfect time of the day and week. It’s so easy, pick a keyword, search for it and you’ll see a graph of the time of day that your keyword was most popular. Thanks
