This is a guest post by Sam Bakker. If you want to guest post on this blog, check out the guidelines here.

Recently I have had the ability to try out a new twitter tool to the Twitter community. This tool is called Hummingbird and from what I had heard previously from other marketers it is one of the most revolutionary to the Twitter game.

When I first started twitter I had really no clue as to how to use it and why anyone would want to use the website for their business. What with all this tweeting and re-tweeting, it took just 5 minutes to become tweeted out. After my first experience with twitter I was left feeling like Twitter was just a hyped up way of texting. I wouldn’t get back into Twitter for another 5 months where I was confronted with a friend who had made his business work and all without him having to watch status updates all day. In this article I will discuss the Hummingbird 2.0 software which has changed tweeting for businesses and given automatic tweeting a new name.

Hummingbird is a smooth, sleek comprehensive software which boasts a host of features including: Tweeting console, twitter grading, automatic following, twitter tracking, twitter reporting, the list just goes on.

Here is what I find are the best features of this tool which benefit the quality of your twitter audience and business interest.

Hummingbird Console:
I find that Twitter as a website isn’t the easiest or most simple website to navigate when you’re having a busy day online. Hummingbird have realised this and as a result created a simple twitter console to track all activity that occurs on your twitter account. Within 1 click you can navigate from your tweets to your twitter main to your friends. It really is simple and nicely laid out. Here is a screenshot of the front console.

You can see that hummingbird is very clear and a very easy to move around on. Because it is a desktop application as well it is very easy to access.

Twitter Quality Score:
One of my favourite functions of this tool would have to be the grading feature. When your looking to follow people on Twitter you always want them to have quality tweets. This part of the tool presents a grade so that you can define what grade is acceptable for your standards.

Auto Follow & Unfollow:
To ensure that you don’t have to spend the time looking through twitter for members to follow then a few weeks later having the challenge of unfollowing everyone.

Hummingbird gives you the opportunity to not only follow everyone automatically it also is smart enough to distinguish who has followed you in return and who hasn’t. Those who don’t follow you in return will be unfollowed by hummingbird automatically. This function alone is an amazing time saver. Also because it’s combined with the Twitter Quality score, you know your followers are always going to be of the highest calibre. They will also be relevant as the next function ensures that.

Keyword Following:
It is essential for all businesses or internet marketers that the followers you gather are relevant to what you tweet. Without this then none of them will show interest in what you’re tweeting as you wont find any interest in them. Hummingbird gives you the control over what people you follow as it allows you to type in the keywords which are related to the type of people you want to be following and follow you in return.
Once you have selected your keyword, the system will run and automatically search out and follow high quality tweeters who use the keyword you selected.

Advanced Reporting:
Hummingbird on top of all it’s other incredible features, gives you the ability to see your twitter trends in a way that is clear and accurate. You can see below the main features included In Hummingbirds reporting below:

Overall hummingbird is the ultimate automatic twitter tool. It makes the average twitter users life a breeze and saves an incredible amount of time each day. With the additional features such as advanced reporting and it’s automatic follow engine Hummingbird is well worth its $97 price tag for anyone who is serious about increasing their twitter following automatically at a rapid rate.
