New Years Resolutions on Twitter Search

Most twitterers know that http://search.twitter.com is a really great tool for searching the twitter stream and get all the aggregated knowledge of twitterers.

Biggest problem for the usefulness of searches: how to come up with a good search term?

Today it was really obvious: What resolutions for New Year do Twitterers make?

Using Feedburner FeedFlare to turn visitors into Twitter followers

I was looking for a Twitter FeedFlare and found one at Thejesh GN. It's not a very fancy one, but I wonder if it can drive followers to my Twitter Account.

I have setup Feedburner Feeds and Blogspot Blogs in the past.

Update: It's not really what I had in mind. Will blog about my FeedFlare later.

Update#2: I got a brandnew FeedFlare ready. If you use Google's FeedBurner with FeedFlare, add this URL to your Flares: http://tweetnow.appspot.com/tweetflare
Users will see a "Tweet now!"-Link that will send them to twitter instantaneously, enabling them to tweet about your blogpost.

If you are on Twitter please test it and click on the "Tweet now!" link below.
