20 Twitter Services to Enhance Your Experience

Posted by - June 28th, 2010

If you’re a blogger and haven’t joined Twitter, then you’re missing out on a great opportunity to network, expand your brand and increase blog traffic.

The best way to see what it’s all about is to sign-up and see for yourself. Personally, I would recommend using a desktop air application, rather than the web stream. I use Twhirl. Pick 20-30 users to follow, and start reading and sharing. Feel free to follow me @jnbammer.

Once you get the gist of how it works, then you will quickly see that Twitter has inspired a ton of applications and services to enhance your experience. Most of them are best used strategically or sporadically, as the biggest value comes from tweeting and interacting with fellow users.

Here’s 20 Cool Twitter Apps or Services that I would recommend checking out:

1. Twubble – provides recommendations for people you may want to follow based on who you already follow. Basically, it shows you how many of your friends are following other users. You will need to have 20 – 30 people that you’re following already before this recommendation has much value. Every time your list of followers doubles, then try it again to expand your bubble. Twits Like Me is another option to find new friends.

2. Twit Links – want to know what links the top tech writers are sharing on Twitter, then check out Twit Links. It’s a great way to get the inside scoop on what these early adapters and creators of tech content are reading, writing and sharing.

3. Alpha Twitter – this site displays the top links being shared on Twitter by all users. It ranks links by number of times shared. If you’re looking for what’s hot in the entire Twitter-verse, then this is the site to visit.

4. Tweet Clouds – cool service that lets you make a tag cloud from the words you are currently using on Twitter. Gives you an idea of what you’re focusing on and sharing with others. Another cool feature of this service is that you can tell it to add in your del.icio.us tags as well to see if you’re focusing on the same things on and off of Twitter.

5. Tweet Scan – real-time Twitter search. Not much more to say, other than it helps you find people talking about the same thing you are interested in talking about, and it is a great tool for research.

6. TweetLater – If you have an addictive personality, or you want to have a constant presence on Twitter, this service allows you to schedule Tweets to be transmitted at a later time in the day when you may not be near a computer. Although I haven’t done this yet, I can see value in this for retweeting announcements about new blog posts or other news about your site.

7. TwitDir – a directory for Twitter, which includes Top user – Top 100 Followed; Top 100 Updaters; Top 100 Favouriters (if that’s even a real word); Top 100 Followers; and, a basic search function for all of the Top lists combined.

8. Your Twitter Karma – this is a service that shows you all of the people who are connected to you and vice versus. It displays a user’s profile image, then shows you if he is following you, you are following him or the relationship is mutual. You can then choose to follow or unfollow users.

9. TweetStats – a service for stat freaks. Graph your stats by hour, month or timeline. Pretty self-explanatory.

10. Hashtags – real-time tracking of Twitter hashtags. Hashtags are a way to create groupings on Twitter. It’s a little extra work, but it serves its purpose.

11. Twitter Poster – shows you a graphical view of people’s influence among Twitter world. I don’t really get it, but I guess it’s another way to expand your understanding of reach.

12. Tweeterboard – this is a service that analyzes who is talking to you on Twitter. It also shows you the Top 100 conversationalists.

13. Twitterfeed – service that uses your blog feed to post updates in content on your site to Twitter at a specified time.

14. tweetgift – send your Twitter friends virtual gifts (icons of gifts).

15. tweetmeme – tracks new blog posts, images, videos and audio files shared on Twitter.

16. Twittervision - watch as Tweets pop-up from around the world on a cool interactive map. For a similar experience, check TwittEarth.

17. TwitterLocal – create a feed for users who are tweeting messages within a 1 – 20 mile radius of any zip code.

18. Twitter.Alltop.com – see the 5 most recent posts of top Twitter users. Updated every 10 minutes.

19. Twitterbar – post directly to Twitter from your address bar. Firefox add-on.

20. Twitterholic – tracks stats for top users and sorts them for you. If you are addicted to Twitter and use it constantly, you may be on the list! If not, it is another way to find out what’s hot with the tw-hotties.

Any cool apps or services that I missed? Feel free to share them in the comments. Thanks!

Myths about Radon

Posted by - June 21st, 2010

1.  MYTH: Scientists are not sure that radon really is a problem.

FACT: Although some scientists dispute the precise number of deaths due to radon, all the major health organizations (like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Lung Association and the American Medical Association) agree with estimates that radon causes thousands of preventable lung cancer deaths every year. This is especially true among smokers, since the risk to smokers is much greater than to non-smokers.

2. MYTH: Radon testing is difficult, time-consuming and expensive.

FACT: Radon testing is easy. You can test your home yourself or hire a qualified radon test company. Either approach takes only a small amount of time and effort.

3. MYTH: Homes with radon problems can’t be fixed.

FACT: There are simple solutions to radon problems in homes. Hundreds of thousands of homeowners have already fixed radon problems in their homes. Most homes can be fixed for about the same cost as other common home repairs; check with one or more qualified mitigators. Call your state radon office for help in identifying qualified mitigation contractors.

4. MYTH: Radon affects only certain kinds of homes.

FACT: House construction can affect radon levels. However, radon can be a problem in homes of all types: old homes, new homes, drafty homes, insulated homes, homes with basements, and homes without basements. Local geology, construction materials, and how the home was built are among the factors that can affect radon levels in homes.

5. MYTH: Radon is only a problem in certain parts of the country.

FACT: High radon levels have been found in every state. Radon problems do vary from area to area, but the only way to know your radon level is to test.

6. MYTH: A neighbor’s test result is a good indication of whether your home has a problem.

FACT: It’s not. Radon levels can vary greatly from home to home. The only way to know if your home has a radon problem is to test it.

7. MYTH: Everyone should test their water for radon.

FACT: Although radon gets into some homes through water, it is important to first test the air in the home for radon. If your water comes from a public water supply that uses ground water, call your water supplier. If high radon levels are found and the home has a private well, call the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 800-426-4791 for information on testing your water.

8. MYTH: It’s difficult to sell homes where radon problems have been discovered.

FACT: Where radon problems have been fixed, home sales have not been blocked or frustrated. The added protection is some times a good selling point.

9. MYTH: I’ve lived in my home for so long, it doesn’t make sense to take action now.

FACT: You will reduce your risk of lung cancer when you reduce radon levels, even if you’ve lived with a radon problem for a long time.

10. MYTH: Short-term tests can’t be used for making a decision about whether to fix your home.

FACT: A short-term test, followed by a second short-term test* can be used to decide whether to fix your home. However, the closer the average of your two short-term tests is to 4 pCi/L, the less certain you can be about whether your year-round average is above or below that level. Keep in mind that radon levels below 4 pCi/L still pose some risk. Radon levels can be reduced in most homes to 2 pCi/L or below.

* If the radon test is part of a real estate transaction, the result of two short-term tests can be used in deciding whether to mitigate.

For more information, see EPA’s “Home Buyer’s and Seller’s Guide to Radon”.

Home Termite Inspection and Treatment

Posted by - June 16th, 2010

If you have found a termite infestation in your home (and had this confirmed by a termite inspection) and have discovered you need a termite control campaign, what types of termite treatments are there?

Termite Baiting Treatments

Termite baits take advantage of the termite’s natural tendencies. Termites live in close contact with one another in colonies in underground nests. Termite baits use slow working poisons. The idea is that some of the termites pick up the bait, return it to the nest and spread it round, thus eliminating all the termites in the entire nest.

Termite bait stations can be particularly effective in spring when foraging is most prevalent. Place bait traps close together in areas of high termite infestation. If you are unsure of where the nest is, the safest option is to ensure that the termite bait stations

The advantages of baits is that they can attack the whole nest even if you are not sure of its location. They are easy to use. They are also less toxic – meaning you don’t have to worry about effects on pets, other wildlife, children etc. The downside is that they are not as effective as other methods. This method will kill many termites. However, the surviving termites will simple move to a new area and start to breed and build a new nest some where else – so the problem simply springs up somewhere else.

It has been found that termites feed more readily on bait that is left above ground. This is only logical since termites naturally feed on dead wood and branches that have fallen from trees and are, therefore, above ground. The most effective bait stations, such as Advance, take advantage of this. Rather than being completely buried underground, they are partially buried with the top exposed. This attracts the termites more readily and is a much more efficient method of termite extermination.

Soil Termiticide Treatments

Termiticides can be applied to areas of soil and will prevent termites from entering into the home. They create a chemical barrier which the termites will not be able to pass. By blocking the termites off from their food source, the entire nest will be killed. These are often known as repellent termite treatments.

If you don’t have any experience with pest control, you may not be comfortable using this method. For the best results, it is well worth hiring a termite control service who will know the correct chemicals to use to suit each individual situation.

Delayed Termiticide Treatments

Where as standard soil termiticides work quickly, this method of non-repellent termite treatment works much more slowly. The advantage of this is that it can be transmitted to other members of the nest – killing many with a single dose. This method is often used in conjunction with bait stations. It is hard to find effective termiticides in stores, but you can buy Termidor termiticide online.

Physical Barriers

Termites can be prevented from reaching a particular area by creating a physical barrier (such as a close weave wire mesh) between the termites and the wood. It is even possible to buy wire meshes which contain termiticides – making them doubly effective. In order for this method to be cost effective, it has to be done at the construction stage. Once a house is built, this becomes a very expensive method of termite control.

If a termite home inspection has found that you have a termite infestation, you can use these treatments to tackle the problem. However, a qualified termite controller will be able to tackle the problem in such a way that it does not reoccur – a much better bet in the long term.

How You Could Have Been Exposed to Asbestos

Posted by - June 13th, 2010

If you’ve been keeping up with the news within the last fifty years, then you have probably heard about the dangers of asbestos causing illnesses, including a form of cancer called mesothelioma.

Asbestos has been used in North America since the late 19th century, with an increase in usage in the 1970’s. That means that, at some point in every American’s life, they have had at least a minimal amount of asbestos exposure.  As long as asbestos is not released into the air, it is relatively safe. Unfortunately, if it is disturbed at all, then it can cause asbestosis, which is a condition in the lungs that can cause respiratory issues twenty to thirty years after exposure, as well as other diseases. 

Even though it is impossible to completely avoid asbestos related illnesses, those who face asbestos exposure on a fairly regular basis are more at risk for health problems. Careers that are most at risk of asbestosis are:

  • Car mechanics and construction workers because they use asbestos in their line of work on a regular basis.
  • Firemen and other emergency response servicemen who enter hazard areas that involve broken buildings.  Many of the first responders to the World Trade Center tragedy of 9-11-01 were exposed to asbestos on a large scale.                                                                                         

Many of these professionals will not contact a mesothelioma lawyer until many years after their original exposure, because symptoms long time to develop.

If you’re a professional in one of these fields, and you think you’ve had too much exposure to asbestos, then you should find a mesothelioma lawyer.  The attorneys at Slater, Slater, Rosenberg & Schulman work with people who have mesothelioma across the country.  If you have mesothelioma, or fear you’ll develop it, then our lawyers will fly out to you to hear the details of your case. We will help you get the compensation you deserve.

Call (800) 251-6990 today to learn more about mesothelioma and your rights.
