Recently, I have been using a rather new Twitter application called TweetSpinner. After setting up my personal Twitter account on the application and playing around with the basic features, I decided it was worth giving the Pro Upgrade a shot to really put it to the test. That was about a month ago. Over the past few weeks, I can honestly say that I have found that TweetSpinner is a tool that anyone who is serious about using Twitter to it’s fullest potential should be using. The Pro Upgrade is an affordable $15/month and it’s worth every penny. Best of all, they have just launched their affiliate program so you can also make money by sharing this incredible Twitter tool with others!

So, do I have your interest yet? Would you like to hear more?

OK, OK. Who am I trying to kid? If you’ve read this far, you’re obviously interested and you can’t wait for all the juicy details, so, without further ado, here they are.

1. Create and Schedule “Smart” Tweets.
Smart tweets maximize your time online, allowing you to create, schedule, and automate many common tweeting tasks. Just imagine being able to create templates for your tweets, where you can re-use common messages and schedule them to occur whenever you like. With TweetSpinner’s easy-to-use tweetscript, you can create dynamic tweets that automatically change their content based on conditions you specify.

This feature is super easy to use and extremely flexible. You can use it to create tweets that rotate certain highly targeted keywords of your choosing from a list that you create. These “smart” tweets can be scheduled to be posted repeatedly with changing text to your Twitter profile at set intervals. Or, if you prefer, you can post them manually as you see fit. This is a huge time saver if you have multiple products that you promote, because you can also configure your smart tweets to tweet a completely different message from a list of messages (links included) completely on auto-pilot.

2. Schedule Rotation of Profiles and Designs.
Twitter gives you only a few options to play with regarding your profile’s look. A tiny bio. One URL. And some design colors. With TweetSpinner, you can rotate your bio, URL, and design features on schedule — every hour, every day, whenever you like. This helps you maximize the effectiveness of your profile by giving your followers more information and helps keep it fresh.

3. Smart Friends and Followers.
Now this is a feature worth getting excited over! This feature alone is worth the $15/month for the Pro Upgrade! This feature has dramatically increased my Twitter following with targeted followers that are genuinely interested in the topics that I tweet about. The click-through rate that I’m getting to links posted since using this feature to increase my following has more than doubled!

Sure, there are other products and applications out there on the market to increase your Twitter following that boast much more spectacular numbers, but number aren’t everything when you’re talking about a quality Twitter following. I would much rather have 100 targeted followers who are genuinely interested in my Tweets than 1000 followers who are just following me in hopes that I’ll follow them back and increase their own following.

This incredible feature is actually made up of numerous sub-features and options that you can configure to your liking.
- View your friend-to-follower ratio to find out who is or isn’t following you back and how many or your followers that you’re not following back. This feature uses filters that you set-up and you can even schedule it to follow back anyone whose follow you don’t return manually.
- “Smart purge” (unfollow) anyone not following you back. It’s smart because you can configure when and how it’s used.
- “Keyword follow” any user who tweets a certain word. Schedule it, too.
- “Mimic follow” any other user’s friends. This is a great way to follow all of your competitor’s friends.
- Create “nofollow” and “immunity” lists to never follow, for example, user XYZ or any user with “XXX” in their name. This feature also looks at each user’s recent tweets to avoid following “spam” accounts.
- Clean-up your DM inbox. Wouldn’t you like to purge old messages? This feature lets you purge up to 40 old DM’s from your Twitter inbox at a time.
- Configure sophisticated filters to only follow people who: are from certain locations, have a good friend/follow ratio, who have a certain number of friends, who you’ve previously purged, and so on.
- View pie charts showing you follower overlaps with any other user. “Close the gap” by mimic following.
- View reciprocity scores and pie charts for any keyword or mimic, showing you the percentage of users who return your follow. You can then focus on the keywords and mimics that result in the best ratio of new followers for you.
- View color coded lists of every person you follow by date, keyword, and status. Easily see when you followed them, if they’ve followed you back or if you’ve purged them.

Interested? If you tweet, you should be. Like I said, I have been using this application for about a month now and I’ve been able to increase my Twitter following from a measly 120 followers to close to 2000 targeted followers that are actually interested in what I tweet. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. That’s just one profile. I’m using TweetSpinner to increase my productivity and following for all four of my twitter profiles from one easy to navigate account interface.

Go ahead. Check out TweetSpinner for yourself and give it an honest test run by spending the $15 for the Pro Upgrade. You won’t be disappointed.
