Almost one year in to the college coaching Twitter craze, we wanted to give coaches who are now using tweets to boost their recruiting messages some of the last tricks and shortcuts that we're recommending to coaches during our On-Campus Workshops. 

Here’s a few of our favorites:

TwitterFox: This Firefox web browser plugin allows you to view Tweets within your web browser (in a popup menu). This is very handy and eliminates the need to constantly go to Twitter.com.

TweetLater: Now known as SocialOomph, this powerful service allows you to schedule tweets (much like you would schedule emails). Another very powerful feature is the ability to receive email digests of keyword activity in the Tweetosphere. This allows you to join a conversation or track topics and trends.  It's one of our favoriate tools...check it out, Coach.

Ping.fm: If you have accounts with many services, such as LinkedIn and Facebook, this amazing and simple-to-use site allows you to post updates across ALL of your social media sites in one single step.

Twitter for Facebook: If you are on Facebook, this application forwards your Twitter updates directly to Facebook as status updates.  It's very, very convenient. 

If you are a coach that "tweets", these tools have a great chance of making your social networking life a whole lot easier.
