For those of you out there who use the Twitter social-networking blogging site, I have specified some more tools that I have come across recently to enhance your Twittering experience:

• Twellow – Want to find friends/followers near you, or that share the same interest as you? This service acts as a Twitter directory of users that are sorted by categories, and you can find users near you using this service’s TwellowHood feature.
• Twply – Want your @replies forwarded to your e-mail? This opt in service will allow you to receive direct messages that are sent to your account also to your e-mail. This is a good service if you are a Twitterer on the go.
• @spellingbot – Need something spelled, and don’t have any spell checking software around? Send an direct message to @spellingbot and your word in question will instantly be corrected.

Happy Blogging!

If you have not found this feature yet, you may now be able to specify a post as “sticky” in WordPress. Sticky posts are for when you are wanting a post to remain at the top of your blog above all of your other posts.

This can be done when you are in the Add New Post section of the 2.7 admin panel. Under the Publish menu on the far right-hand side of the page, expand the Visibility area by clicking “Edit.” This will bring up options of how your post will be visible on your blog. Click on the “Stick this post to the front page” check box, then press “Ok,” and your post will automatically be set to be “stuck” at the top of your blog.

Ever since the large social networking site Facebook developed and added a Notes section to their interface, it has gotten a lot of attention from the service’s users–bloggers and non-bloggers alike.

The Notes composition section (pictured above) provides a look much like any other blogging platform’s compositional area, including both a Subject line and a multi-line text area for the content/message.

Notes has become a very popular area on Facebook, where users post quizzes, rants, memes, and so forth. With this premise, the usual FB users engaging in the Notes section would not consider themselves as bloggers, but those who are involved in the blogosphere with other blogs (not associated with FB) tied into their profile do admit to themselves as blogging.

What are your thoughts on Notes on Facebook and how it ties into blogging?
