Tweet->Hubspot->Twitter Founder->Funny Twitter Breakup Cartoon

There’s a funny graphic at the end of this post which you Tweeters out there might enjoy. But before you scroll down to it, check out the trail of how I found it …

  1. While social network hopping this morning I happened upon a tweet mentioning Hubspot, which to many of you might not be a new discovery. Clicking through I watched an interesting video about “How to Combine SEO, Blogging, and Social Media for Marketing Results” a good basic primer for those new to these “inbound marketing” opportunities. 
  2. The video, apart from being educational for beginners mentioned a couple of their “free” products websitegrader.com and twittergrader.com Of course I tried twittergrader by typing in my username ramonchen and got the obviously “I’m not in the system” reply of: You are Ranked 2,151,265 out of 2,084,867
    Now I’m relatively new to Twitter (since March 09) but you would think they’d have a better error message than that
  3. Exploring further I noticed that they have rankings (of course) within geographies, so I typed San Francisco. While scrolling down I found Evan Williams, CEO and Founder of Twitter w/550k followers.
  4. Linking to his website evhead.com and reading his blog entries, I scrolled to the bottom and found the funny graphic (which unfortunately has since been removed)

There you have it.  60 mins of wandering, a video watched, a couple of new sites and tools discovered and a good laugh at the end.
