Twitter for Business: 3 Ways To Tweet The Latest & Greatest Content

One key question to ask yourself everyday is "What value can I offer my followers today?" One answer: Content that relates to your business and content that is just popular.

Here are 3 ways to tweet the latest and greatest content to your followers. They will also save you a lot of time on Twitter so you can enjoy other activities.

1. Google Alerts

To quote the Google Alert home page:

"Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic.

Some handy uses of Google Alerts include:

* monitoring a developing news story
* keeping current on a competitor or industry
* getting the latest on a celebrity or event
* keeping tabs on your favorite sports teams"

For Twitter, simply put in one or more keywords and let Google email you the results daily or weekly. From those results you will find all kinds of the latest content to tweet about.

2. Stufftotweet.com

This is a great site because it provides you with the most popular news, articles, videos and even tweets. On the home page, you will find a list of the most popular items on Amazon, CNN, Craigslist, Digg, Mashable, New York Times, TMZ, Twitter, Wikihow, Youtube, and more.

You don't always have to tweet about topics related to your business. You can also tweet about things that interest you.

3. Alltop

Alltop considers itself the “online magazine rack” of the web as it provides you with the top headlines from the web. While they have subscribed to thousands of websites, they allow you to find what you want in very little time.

All you have to do is search by category and you will get the latest, relevant information. If there is a headline you find interesting, just click on it.

You can use this site to tweet about your business or on what interests you. As Alltop explains it is “aggregation without aggravation.”

Overall, I have used all three of these sources and they are easy to use and a big help when looking for content to tweet.
