I often get the question “How do you follow so many people on Twitter”. Using Tweetdeck it’s actually quite easy. I made this video tutorial to show you exactly how I do it.

If you have any questions please leave a comment and I’ll be happy to answer them.

  • Excellent tutorial! I especially found helpful your use of search criterias. Brilliant!
    And I agree with you, twitter is a great forum to access some really great information. But it's more too, for I also do find it a great place to network, learn and help people out.
    Thank you!!
  • Nice video. I don't have nearly as many followers as you (yet) but I had TweetDeck updating every minute for All Friends and I'd have 15-45 new tweets to look at by the time I looked back. I couldn't even go to a link and see what it was about before I had TweetDeck yelling at me that someone had tweeted. It went off multiple times while I was watching the video. Hopefully things will be a little easier to do now. I'm glad you explained the API calls because I had no clue what that meant. All I knew was it kept going down and I had a feeling if it got to zero it would be a bad thing.

    I can relate to your situation with TweetDeck updating every 1minute, since I used the default settings. Now, I'm a little wiser.

    . . . great photos on your web site.
  • Thanks! That was really helpful.
    Cheers,

    Jason babe I'm staging an intervention way BEFORE you get to 15,000 followers - you're becoming a twaddict!

  • Wow, this is a great post. You don't have to be following 15,000 people to benefit from these TweetDeck techniques, by the way.

    I find great links every day using twitter and Tweetdeck. Tweetdeck makes it so much easier to use twitter with the RT link, "Other actions...", and the filters.

    Thanks!
  • Amazing stuff, Jesse. I had no idea what the filters were for, nor did I understand setting the API. I think you've just saved me HOURS a week. Thank you very much.
  • Teresita Simms
    Certainly grateful for the video, since I'm a new user. The explanations on adjusting the API slide and filter settings encourages me with reading more of the tweets and finding items of interest. Thank you very much.
  • Well done Jesse, enjoyed the video very helpful. Now I just have to get as many followers as you ;)
  • Jesse, great article, and video! Consider following over 50,000 followers like I do (currently)! :)

    Don't misrepresent the fact that it is physically IMPOSSIBLE to read everyone's public tweets when you start following more than 5,000 or so people! Even during a low volume time! Tweetdeck is definitely a great tool in aggregating tweets, and grouping people into useful sub-categories etc.

    I do agree with you though... The more people you follow, (and that follow you) the more information and useful you are as a fellow Twitter'er! It feels nice to have the capability to send a message to thousands of people at a second's notice that could potentially save a life, help a needy organization, spread breaking news, or MANY other potential situations!
