Country Living

You just never know what I’ll be up to around here. I could be quilting one day and building a barn the next. I just love living on our 10 acres with our heapin’ mess of critters.

Down Home Cooking

Cooking is really the first social networking activity humans ever learned. I love simple, good tasting, home cooked food (if it’s healthy that’s a perk!). Pull up a stool to the counter and sip some coffee while we whip up some supper together.

Family Life

Family is what life is all about. No one is going to leave this earth and wish they had spent more time at work. Some simple things to enhance your family life. “Try it, you’ll like it.”

The Moxie Mom

One of the joys of my life is getting to be a stay-at-home mom. I am so blessed to have a husband who supports me in this endeavor of raising our children. We have fun with homeschooling, 4-H, church, our farm/ranch/zoo and love living in Texas.

WordPress

My favorite blogging platform is WordPress.org. There are just so many possibilities. Want some “how-to” in layman’s terms? See some of my favorite tips, tweaks, plugins and themes that WordPress has to offer while avoiding some pitfalls.

Easily Manage Your Twitter Flock

Submitted by Wendy Merritt on Thursday, 9 July 20094 Comments

I found this really cool tool for Twitter. If you are looking for an easy way to manage your Twitter flock: unfollow and reciprocate follow several Twitter followers at one time then you will love this online Twitter tool. This tool will probably be used more by Twitter power users like businesses, affiliate marketers,…dare I say it…Twitter spammers (of which I hope your not one of “them”) or the common man who just enjoys a large following.

Using Twitter’s website interface is very cumbersome and doesn’t really lend itself to quickly and exhaustively unfollowing and reciprocating. Buzzom does require you to enter your Twitter username and password so it can access the Twitter API for you and to verify you. This site makes these two tasks and others a breeze. Imagine my elation when Google found for me Buzzom.

Buzzom uses the Twitter API to simply tasks

Here are a couple of the things you can currently do while on Buzzom:

  • Flush - This is the default after you enter your username. Got too many people chattering in your stream? Unfollow quickly and easily those who aren’t following you.
  • Grow – When you click on the grow button Buzzom will intuitively recommend new people with similar interests for you to follow (this is the part I hope spammers don’t exploit).
  • Reciprocate – After you click on this button you will see a list of who’s following you…but you’re not following them…yet. Just by clicking the check boxes and a button you can follow your followers until your hearts content.
  • Lock - When you “lock” a Twitter user you will prevent this user from showing up in this list again. Let’s say you have a certain business you follow but they aren’t following you; there is no need for them to keep showing up in your “flush” list. Just “lock” them and they will not appear in  your flush list where you might accidently unfollow them.
  • Tweet - On the right side of the screen you can send out an instant Tweet from here. Buzzom has it pre-filled so you can give them a shout out to your followers if you value their service.

Stats - Notice in the upper right of the screen you have a few stats.

  • Followers – How many people are currently following you (I wish they had called it something else other than “follow”…who wants to be a “follower”…I digress).
  • Following - How many people you are currently following.
  • Stars - This is the number of people you are following but they are not following you back.
  • Fans – You might enjoy seeing the number of people who are following you but you are not following them back.
  • Friends – A perfect world. This tells you the number of people you are following and who are following you back.

This is one powerful tool and just what I was looking for today. Give it a whirl and let me know what you loved or hated about it.
