Twitterfox

I just learned about Twitterfox today. Twitterfox is a Firefox browser plug-in that allows you to make and send Twitter tweets right from the bottom of your browser instead of going to the Twitter site. When you receive them, you're notified via pop-up immediately. Because it's separate from Twitter, you don't have to choose it on Twitter as the method you want to get tweets, but the plug-in will go check your Twitter account on your behalf.

Of course, Twitter is designed to be easy to update via IM, website or cell phone, but Twitterfox is the easiest of all. Also, the person who created Twitterfox also created TwitterFon for the iPhone...got to give that a try although my iPhone has never properly recovered from the grapefruit juice I spilled on it a few months ago.

I use Twitter to update people when I have Therebucks in stock to sell, and any little thing that can make that process easier and faster is A+ in my book. Those people looking to see if I have ThereBucks in stock should definitely give it a try if they use Firefox.

Tweet, tweet, tweet!

I'm all a-twitter part two

Last time I posted was about how I signed up for twitter to better keep people abreast of when I have ThereBucks in stock. I also sent emails out to all my tbux club members and past purchasers of ThereBucks that contained specific instructions on how to use twitter for ThereBucks updates, but for those who may not have received the email...for instance for future members/purchasers, as well as for those with over-enthusiastic spam filters or WhereMail problems, here are the instructions again...
-------------------
Tired of spending your time searching for discounted ThereBucks? Just want to know when they are in stock without wasting your time? Sign up for twitter.com (if you don't already have an account) and then add "therebucks" (that's me!) as someone you are "following". http://twitter.com/therebucks

In case you are unfamiliar with how twitter works, I'll explain it a little along with giving you instructions for getting alerts as to when I'm selling via your favorite IM client OR via your cellphone!

Once you are signed up for twitter and you are following "therebucks", you should go into your account settings, click on "devices" and from there you can set up your IM and/or your Cell phone to receive alerts (and you can set a few more options like to not send you alerts in the middle of the night, etc). Once you've done that and confimed it with twitter, you still aren't going to get any mobile alerts until you go to the page of someone you are following (http://twitter.com/therebucks) and click on "device updates off" to turn device updates "on".

Once you've set it to start getting alerts on the IM client or cellular phone of your choice, you can always go to http://twitter.com/therebucks to stop receiving the alerts (like maybe you don't want to know several times a day that ThereBucks are in stock once you've purchased a pile of them) and if you are getting alerts via text message you can just text twitter the message "off" and you will stop getting them. Then, once you've spent all your ThereBucks, you can text "on" and you will get the alerts again. Pretty cool, huh?

I just figured no-one wants to waste a bunch of time trying to find discounted ThereBucks in stock if they don't have to. Why not let twitter do the work for you? Plus sometimes someone visits http://jinx.tv and if I'm not selling seems to get the idea that I just simply don't sell ThereBucks any more when ACTUALLY I tend to get ThereBucks in stock several times a day, and now I can prove it! If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. I'm pretty new to twitter myself, but I will certainly try to help.

I'm all a-twitter

I've known about twitter.com for a while but couldn't really think of a good reason to use it until now.

Then, after using twitter to track when Wiis are in stock at various Internet stores I thought "EUREKA! I can use twitter to help people find out when ThereBucks are in stock!"

This isn't something I've been too concerned about for a while, I have had Therebucks in stock since December...haven't sold out once during that time and even carried a tbux balance as high as 12 million. Now that's all changed, the economy has evened out and even though I am buying/selling more Therebucks than ever, the demand is back to its normal state of being greater than the supply.

So, if you're looking for discounted ThereBucks on my site, http://jinx.tv, and I seem to be sold out all the time, try following me on Twitter...get alerts via cellular text, IM or email about when I am in stock and be the first one there to snag 'em!
