There are 5 new tools that effectively optimizing and increasing promotion of tweets, Facebook shares, and blog posts. They are:

1. BufferApp

When you have something to share or retweet, one click creates a ‘special delivery’ tweet or update that is automatically scheduled to be sent at the time most likely to get the best results. A recent Twitter study showed new users of BufferApp doubled their retweets and clicks without needing to send twice as many tweets. ‘Buffering’ also help you space out your tweet, so it’s easy to increase the amount of times you update without annoying people. BufferApp currently only available on Twitter, but it’s being tested on Facebook and should be available for everyone soon.

2. BlogGlue

BlogGlue is an excellent service for building traffic and readership as it shares your new blog on similar blogs automatically as a ‘recommended’ post. It reviews new blog posts and creates related links to them on partner sites. Your blog is shown on other sites in a ‘related links’ section on their blog posts, while a ‘related links’ section will be added to all your blog posts. BlogGlue chooses partners sites that are relevant based on the user’s blog topics.

3. Timer Apps

These tools show when our Twitter followers are active online so you can tweet at the best time to reach them. It will help you customize Buffer settings.

4. Triberr

Triberr allows you to create or join groups (‘tribes) that retweet one another’s content. But because it will cause you to retweet everything everyone shares and opens you to abuse if someone in your tribe begins oversharing, use it instead to read a feed of things from your tribe and select what to retweet. Remember, the whole idea of a tribe is to find the best folks, so if you don’t have the best folks in your tribe, move out of it and into high-quality ones, or even create a new tribe if you have to.
