This past week saw a bunch of twitter news, articles, books, etc. Here are just a few of those twitter sitings on the web. To start, one of the most notable discussions was the #fixreplies issue with twitter.

The Twitter Book by Tim O’Reilly and Sarah Milstein.  The book includes topics ranging from setting up your profile and background to retweeting and using the different 3rd party applications and services geared towards the twitter user.

Mashable always produces excellent social media news and that includes a ton of twitter articles not only for a week but in a day.  So I’ve selected two of the articles they produced last week that I particularly like.

In their article 5 Impressive Mashups of Twitter and Flickr, writer Ben Parr lists 5 services that pull twitter and flickr together to make interesting ways you can include photos with twitter.

Photos are  always popular as people click on them out of curiosity.  TwitPic is evidence of that as folks update their twitter status messages with links to newly taken and interesting photos they’ve uploaded to TwitPic.  My article Sharing Photos on Twitter is a testament to that since it’s one of the most popular blog posts here on my short lived (so far anyway) DailyTwiTips blog.

Also to come out of Mashable was The Journalist’s Guide to Twitter by Leah Betancourt.  From listing journalist sources for twitter to tracking tweets to joining a twibe for journalists this article lists tools and resources good enough for non-journalists as well.

Darren Rowse also writes and has others write for his TwiTip blog.  This past week I found TwitterFired: The Top 10 Tweets To Get You Fired funny as well as a great article and discussion on How To Unfollow On Twitter With Class.

Over at Digital Inspiration, Amit wrote about how to Find the Meaning of any #Hashtag on Twitter.  We all use hashtags to organize tweets by topic and the service at tagdef allows you to find the origin of a hashtag as well as list trending tags, random tags and new tags.

So there ya’ go.  Just a handful of some good stuff written about twitter.

Here are some twitter articles from the past week that I ran into and thought were worthy for a list. I’m sure there’s plenty more, but these are some that are also worthy of a bookmark on delicious, a retweet, a stumble, a digg etc., etc.

Hope you take some time this weekend to read these articles, promote and even do a #followfriday on the writers of these articles. Although there’s just a handful, don’t forget about the comments that hold a lot of information, the links in the comments, the people and their blogs and twitter names that you can check out. Have fun.

1. If  you’re new to twitter and want to read up on creating attention grabbing tweets, check out Brian Clark’s The Art of Writing Great Twitter Headlines from his blog CopyBlogger.

2. I found the article Inside the Minds of Twitter Users from Mashable. In it, writer Ann Handley reports on the data they collected from various poll questions from Mashable to twitter users like.  Some of the questions include:

• Do people feel that Followers on Twitter should reciprocate in kind, and follow them back?
• Large Twitter Following = Smart?
• Large Twitter Following = Respected?

Those are just some of the questions that Handley investigates.

Oh yea, check out who made the first tweet in the image under #1, in the article 6 Twitter Search Services Compared by Ari Herzog at Mashable.  Moi!!
