Rock The Post is a community of business entrepreneurs and funding parties that helps them communicate between each other and form partnerships on just about any project. Rock The Post in essence serves as a bridge for taking your project to the next level. If you are an entrepreneur, an artists, or someone with unique abilities and have a great project where the only problem is to find the necessary resources to make it happen, Rock The Post can help you find investors that can provide you with those resources. The contrary is also true, if you are an eager investor and looking for unique opportunities, the platform can equally be of great interest to you.

Here’s a quick introduction video of Rock The Post.

Rock The Post makes this whole “funding business” a lot easier. Essentially the way it works is that you create a post, stating your project, idea, cause, whatever, and provide a good description of what exactly you are looking for. Investors or like minded people in turn will see your post and if they like it, will then either contribute to your project in a variety of forms. This can be in the form of investments or pledges.

Here’s an introduction of how pledges work.

What does Tweet Old Post Do?

Very simple answer and that is to retweet your old articles (or post) based on a specified criteria. If you noticed Ileane’s concern, you will agree that Tweeting old post that are no longer relevant, will just backfire on you and make you look silly. Imagine if my post about Merry xMas is indeed retweeted on July 2011? That would be odd

You can read the full article, to find out more info this cool Twitter Tool.

So what’s new with this recent update?

If you installed the plugin before, you would have noticed that there was a feature that was excluded from the previous release. This feature was the “exclude post” from the settings area. The reason why this feature is important is because, although you can exclude specific categories from being automatically retweeted, there are cases in which you also would want to exclude some specific post within that same category. While you were able to exclude post before, the process was daunting.

Exclude Post Made Easier From Your Automatic Tweets

The update, released today, comes back with the “exclude post” feature and if you are already using the pugin, I encourage you to update it the firts chance you get. Once you install the update (or fresh install), you will now see the “exclude post” button from your dashboard, where after clicking, you will see a list of all your post. You can now individually exclude any post that you do not wish to be included in your automated tweet default definitions.

Tweet Old post’s updates includes some other minor fixes, but the “exclude post” feature is really what makes a big difference. You can find additional information about this release by visiting the developers website. It is a good way for us to say thanks.

You can download/install the Tweet Old Post plugin on WordPress repository.

The widget simply allows you to show the visitors of your blog or website that you have a Google+ account, while encouraging them to add you to their circles (similar to follow me on Twitter). Installation is a simple cut and paste of a bit of JS code, where you can choose to display your latest posts (public stream) or not.

The Google Plus Widget is great because it can be installed on virtually any platform.. WordPress, Blogger (Google Blogs), etc..

Settings:

Add your Google+ ID, choose the width, font and language (supports major ones for now) and click on get code.

leaving the “include update feed” unchecked will return:

Checking the “include feed” will return the same thing only with your public stream, a la Twitter.

That’s it! If you like to display your G+ stream, this is a good option and it is free. If you prefer other options, here are two other Google Plus Plugins, that you might like to knwo about.

Do you know of any “other” cool Google+ Widget or plugins that does the same thing?

Google Plus Widget A La Twitter is a post from: TwittNotes

One thing I realized is that my followers, without knowing it are constantly competing for my attention with their tweets. There are of course many reasons why I eventually click on a link or retweet someone, but one reason is if I can see from afar that thought was given to that tweet.

Of course no one expects you to spend hours on writing a single tweet, but some tweets clearly were given more thoughts than others.

One great and simple technique I was taught by a lot of other reputable tweeters is that only tweeting the post title and link can soon get your followers to skim over them without clicking or even taking a look.

Instead I started something else recently. I would look for a line that clearly stood out from an article and then go ahead and tweet this line.

Buffer –make tweets unique

There is one tool which works like magic for doing exactly that. It is called Buffer and allows you to apply this in a super simple way. If you installed one of the browser extensions (Chrome, Firefox or Safari) this is all you do:

Highlight a certain line and then hit the Buffer icon. Immediately you will get a tweet with the shortened link and highlighted text. Here is an example of Francisco’s tweet:

What happens to my Buffered Tweets?

All Tweets Buffered will be sent out for you well spaced out over the day. This means you add lots of different tweets in at one point and then don’t have to worry about scheduling or overwhelming your followers with too much information.

The times tweets are sent are totally up to you and you can set them as frequently as you wish. Here are my fixed daily tweeting times:

Fixed Tweeting Times

Wrap Up

Making your tweets stand out from the crowd in the age of so much information at hand is crucial I found.

One tool that helps me a great deal to create content that is both unique and has my personal touch is Buffer. A few features I also wanted to point out are:

• Get full analytics for all Buffered tweets, which means Clicks, Retweets and Reach of your tweets.
• Use Buffer inside Google Reader too with one click on the icon.

How about yourself? Do you think making your tweets unique is something valuable? Could Buffer help with that?

What is Social Metrics WordPress Plugin?

Social Metrics is a new WordPress plugin that allows you to monitor your site’s social impact. It adds a screen in your dashboard where you can see all your WordPress posts and exactly how many times they have been shared across Twitter, Facebook, Google +1, Google Buzz, StumbleUpon, Digg and LinkedIn. The cool part is that you can “click” on any of them to share your posts, without having to go to each post individually. If you see any posts or page that you feel has not been “shared” enough, you can do it right there.

Main Features Include:

• Track how your content is shared on Twitter, Facebook, Google +1, Google Buzz, StumbleUpon, Digg and LinkedIn
• Find out exactly how many times your posts/pages have been shared across these social networks
• Browse to find out which posts or pages have gone viral over the social web
• Use the information to find out which social media websites should you promote your content the most, and which ones needs some revamping
• Access Social Metrics directly from your WordPress Admin Dashboard
• Easily filter the displayed output by categories and by month
• Quickly switch between posts and pages
• Choose how many posts you wish to see at a time
• Seamlessly share posts/pages over the social networks from right within the Social Metrics Dashboard

As you can see, this plugin is a nifty little tool that can help you see how your WordPress site is doing on the Social Web. It requires no technical knowledge and uses very little resources. Give Social Metrics (WordPress repository) a try and let me know how you like it. Perhaps, you can find some other “hidden” benefits form it, and if you do, why not share it here with us?

Oddly enough, the website in itself does not say much as to what is its real purpose. After reading the article on CNN, I finally figured that it grabs words and phrases from any public Twitter feed’s posts and “remixes” them into a new tweet. Once you have seen “an interesting” remixed tweet, you can post the results via you own feed, if you like.

This online tool at first glance may seem useless, as in most cases, grabbing random words and having it remixed, most likely will not generate anything “meaningful”.  While this is true, in certain occasions the tool might just generate something fun and when that happens, posting it could “grab” the attention of other users and ultimately click on your username. Doing that takes them to your profile page revealing your tweets and within the process follow you. Far fetched? Perhaps, but worth the play.

Here goes. Just head over the “That Can Be My Bext Tweet” website, enter the Twitter username’s you want and hit “get your next tweet”.

So here comes my first… Ouch! How to engage your computer? LOL

Nope, let’s see what’s next.

Nope, not this one either, haha. Would not want to hurt peoples feelings Where do they even get these words? Next…

That’s not too bad. Not sure if both HootSuite and Website magazine will enjoy, but I do

That’s it. What say you? Can you see some hidden secret that I can’t see (yet)? Have fun and enjoy… never know what your next “killer” tweet might be.
