2. Tweet Deck http://www.tweetdeck.com/
If you are not using TweetDeck yet do yourself a favor and sign up. TweetDeck is a desktop based program that helps you manage, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn all from one place. You can quickly send an announcement to all platforms and stay up to the minute with Tweets, posts and messages. It even lets you use multiple Twitter Accounts and Facebook Fan Pages.
Bit.ly is a FREE URL shortener service that translates long URLs into abbreviated alternatives and provides analytics to see how many people are clicking your links. URL shortening services are based on URL redirection. Short URLs are preferable for a number of reasons. Longer ones are often broken in email messages, for example, and may not work reliably. Furthermore, for some types of communications, such as text messaging and posting to Micro Blogging Sites like Twitter, the number of characters permitted per post is limited so including a long URL would leave no room for a message to accompany it.
Unlike early URL shorteners, bit.ly offers statistical tools to track the popularity of the shortened links. I use this to see what posts people are clicking on.
4. Twuffer http://twuffer.com/
Twuffer.com is a FREE service that allows the Twitter user to compose a list of future tweets, and schedule their release.
Once you have followed 2000 people, limits are based on the number of people who are following you. Follow limits cannot be lifted by Twitter, and everyone is subject to follow limits, even high profile and API accounts.
Twitter is really vague on this part but best I can tell, is that you can follow 10% above how many people follow you.
Newer accounts can't follow more than 2000 people until follower count gets up to about 1850. So, if you have 2000 followers, you can follow 2200 people. This is why to grow your account you need to continuously unfollow the people that are not following you back.
Great results and it happens to be free but they accept donations!
Social Media gives you FREE access to promote you/your business. With a little effort you can achieve respectable reach and unprecedented frequency!
