Squidoo Release TwttrStrm - Organize and Archive Feedback from Your Followers

January 15 2009, 9:00am

A few minutes ago Squidoo released a new Twitter tool by the name of TwttrStrm. In TwttrStrm’s own words - this is a tool that helps you to “Ask a question of your Twitter followers and easily gather all their answers in one spot.” The process is simple:

Once you’ve filled in the form you’re taken to a Twttrstrm page where you can tweet your question and create a Squidoo lens to host the conversation. On the lens your question or statement is of course asked but you can add an image, where information on your topic is shown, where your latest tweets are shown etc. Here’s a Twttrstrm that I created where I asked ‘ What Feature Do You Wish Twitter Would Add?’ Seth Godin (founder of Squidoo) comments on Twttrstrm - “Here’s the magic part, as your followers click through and respond, the storm spreads to their followers. So, in short, it’s a threaded, viral, structured conversation in the middle of the Twitter melee.” I’ve not fully had the opportunity to test Twttrstrm yet - but I think it has potential. One of the things that many of us on Twitter struggle with is being able to collect and make sense of replies to our questions - this takes a step in the right direction in meeting this need. I suspect it’ll be particularly helpful for those who already use Squidoo (as it’s very much reliant upon that site). Have a play with TwttrStrm and let me know what you think in comments below. © 2008 TwiTip Twitter Tips.
