Free Tools Priceless Rewards (2) – Great Tools For The Twitter Fanatics!

I must come clean: I am a Twitter Fanatic! What I love most about Twitter, besides its sheer simplicity, is the staggering array of Twitter-related tools (most of which are 100% free or include free with premium options). Such tools enable you to dig deeper and tap into valuable information that you mostly need in order to maximize the effectiveness of your Twitter presence.

When Gary Vaynerchuk, the author of “The Thank You Economy”, addressed the idea of business humanization on social media, he stressed on the importance of listening, not just broadcasting. We also agreed by noting that growing ginormous ears is essential for social media success in 2011.

The following tools will provide you all the information you need to make social listening a breeze. Let’s get started…

Spy on Yourself on Twitter with Twoolr!

Twoolr, is a great enhancement to TweetStats, offers you comprehensive Twitter statistics about almost everything you could possibly do on Twitter. The beauty of Twoolr is that it doesn’t settle for giving you sheer numbers; time really matters for an accurate Twitter analysis and Twoolr helps you figure out your peak Twitter hours. In addition, it gives you excellent information on your retweets, @replies, and hashtags

Twoolr Twitter account analysis is divided into three main categories:

3. Other:
   This category offers you a dash board where you can get your Twitter statistics at a glance. It also allows you to create public pages to brag your Twitter statistics
