Twitter Lists was one of the more important updates to the micro-blogging site. It multiplied the reach of every Twitter user who cared to mine it for contact and information. But how do you create and use Twitter Lists? It’s what this basic little guide is all about. A Twitter List Is a Group of [...]

There was a time when I didn’t know about scheduled tweets, keyword tracking on Twitter (useful for market research or just to learn more about topics), and tweeting on a desktop. When I look back to it, I can hardly imagine why I didn’t explore the realm of desktop Twitter apps much sooner! One of [...]

You probably don’t sign into LinkedIn as frequently as you do on Facebook. Personally speaking I don’t; though I spend a lot of effort at least a few times every month maintaining my professional profile in tip-top shape. The free LinkedIn account without many of the frills like InMail well serves most of us. But [...]

I would advise you not to let anyone describe Twitter as an online social networking and microblogging service that lets its users send and read text-based posts of up to 140 characters. Especially when Twitter is causing social change in various hot spots around the world. That just goes to show that informal chunks of [...]

Twitter can be one difficult friend to deal with. For example, you’ve only got 140 characters to say you’re flying, and you want to post an observation you made on the plane. Instead of wasting some of your precious characters describing the context of the location, you can simply post one. How? Using some neat [...]

Still in invite only beta phase, it has managed to win the hearts of a huge number of people through innovation in sharing and communication. Though most loved Google Plus, many still favor good ol’ [...]

If you are one of those who visit Twitter multiple times a day, and like to tweet as often as possible, then I’m sure you are already aware of certain tools, like Twitter clients and extensions to help you have a smooth “tweeting” experience. This post will go a step further and talk about utilizing [...]

The web 2.0 era brought along a number of cool sites and services which made online conversations and sharing an easy and elegant process. No wonder the number of chain emails I receive (you know, those emails from friends containing pictures, jokes and all) have been decreasing over the years. I hardly receive any of [...]

Editor’s note: This is the first Linux article on Guiding Tech. It talks about Rhythmbox, a music player for Linux distros like Ubuntu and how you can share music from it on Twitter. We plan to have more Linux/Ubuntu posts in the future. Rhythmbox on Ubuntu, by default, doesn’t let you post what’s playing on [...]

I’m sure you’ve faced times when your Twitter stream, or Facebook profile feed is dominated by updates concerning a particular issue or a trend which you have no interest in. From my own experience, I can tell that it’s frustrating. So how to prevent this from happening without mass unfollowing and mass unfriending people? Well, [...]

One of the reasons why I visit Twitter often during the day, even though I don’t tweet frequently, is to check out what other are sharing. Twitter is increasingly becoming a great repository of cool links from around the web apart from being a conversation hub. A lot of times I come across nice articles [...]

If you get all your “news” via social networking sites like Twitter or Facebook; even if it isn’t really news (like #JustinBieber or anything with those letters), why not get all of it in one source and in a newspaper like form? That’d be cool, isn’t it? Paper.li is a new service that lets you [...]
