Twitter Tips - The Power of Twitter Notifications and More Tools to Streamline Your Twitter Experience
I don’t know about you, but I always have a lot of Twitter FOMO. Not sure if this is a really thing or it is just me?
I’ve always stuck to the model that if someone connected to teaching and learning follows me, I will follow them back. This has let me to some great follows, but it has also added more to my Twitter stream than I can follow most days.
Today, I wanted to share a few resources I use to streamline my Twitter experience. There are many great resources that can help organize and streamline Twitter, but today I will focus on 4: Twitter Notifications, Twitter Lists, IFTTT, and Tweetdeck.
Twitter Notifications
I have to admit that up until a few months ago, I never really used or looked at using the Twitter notification icon for some of my favorite follows. It has become on of my favorites since then.
I have notifications set for less than a dozen twitter accounts. I don’t want to be overwhelmed by notifications, so keeping it to a core group really helps. I do change this from time to time as I meet new people, discover new resources, or participate in a conference or PD experience.
The reason I love the notification button is now I am just a click a way from viewing a list of recent tweets from accounts that I’ve set notifications for.
Twitter Lists
I also use Twitter lists to group together educators, events, and topics. I am organizing one connected to the 2022 IDEAcon Speakers right now. Similar to notifications, I can open a list to just see tweets from anyone I’ve added to the list. I also love that I can share lists with other educators and they can follow the list.
IFTTT
You can also use a resource like If This Then That to set up some pretty cool notifications and other actions to streamline your life.
IFTTT – Connect Notifications to Twitter to unlock powerful experiences
TweetDeck
TweetDeck has long been another favorite tool to help me keep up with Twitter. I probably use it the most often when I am attending or getting ready to attend a conference. I have #IDEAcon already cued up in my first column for next month. TweetDeck has both mobile and web options. If you’ve never used TweetDeck, I highly recommend exploring the TweetDeck Help Center.
