About Us

Here you can talk about poker in general, or tell the world how you crushed a donk and scored some dough! It's also a quick and easy place to alert others to an interesting event or table you are railing, an article or video link, or a whale playing highstakes somewhere. In short... talk poker.
 
Personal or commercial website operators should consider incorporating the Poker Twitter Widget to your own site. It's easy to do and provides an interesting new customizable poker communication tool. Another great option is to download the Poker Twitter iPhone App and get your tweets and updates on the run. 
 
The Poker Trending team is a small but passionate group of poker enthusiasts who believe in the ability of social media networks to unite a niche community and enhance the group experience. 
Please keep checking back with the Poker Trending website as it is a work-in-progress. Our team hopes to offer you ongoing website updates, as well as a significant App upgrade sometime in 2012.
We hope you enjoy this service and please tell a friend...

4. Direct traffic. Poker Twitter can be used to get traffic to your websites. If you ask your friends to blast a poker tweet about it, the message will spread faster and further as other active users pick it up. There is a viral opportunity with social network-driven news, particularly on a site like Poker Twitter.
5. Read Poker News. Poker Twitter users often link to useful sites or articles and can be a source of scoops and inside news. Most often poker news will hit the Poker Twitter niche community before it reaches the main stream media.
6. Make New Poker Friends. Like any other normal social network, Poker Twitter has a built-in function for you to befriend and track the messages of other users. This is an easy way to connect with people outside of your usual circles. Make an effort to add active users you find interesting. A Poker Twitter acquaintance can be developed into a long-lasting friendship or even a business partnership. It's also perhaps the easiest and most effective way of reaching poker pros.
7. Network for benefits. Poker Twitter can be used as a socializing platform for you to interact with other like-minded people, especially those in the same industry. It can be used to establish consistent and deeper relationships for future benefits such as testimonials or peer recommendations.
8. Notify Your Customers. Set up a Poker Twitter feed for the specific purpose of notifying customers when new promotions are running. Customers can subscribe via mobile or RSS for instant notification. Poker Twitter can also be used to provide mini-updates for one-on-one clients.
9. Take Notes. Poker Twitter provides you with an easy way to record important ideas or concepts you want to explore further. Include links relevant to ideas you want to explore. Note-taking can also be done offline via mobile applications.

11. Find Prospects. Poker Twitter can be used as a means to find potential customers or clients online. Do a search for keywords related to your product on Poker Twitter Search and then follow users. Poker Tweet about topics complementary to your product and close prospects away from public channels by using direct messages or offline communications. Discretion and skill is needed in this area.
12. Provide Live Poker Coverage. Poker Twitter´s message size limit prevents detailed coverage of events but it can allow you to provide real-time commentary, which may help to spark further discussion or interest in the event as other Poker Twitter users spread the message.

14. Acquire Votes. Send a link to stories you´ve submitted in other social news sites like Digg or Facebook. Sometimes your followers will vote up the stories because they agree with the subject matter. This allows you to build additional support for your efforts on other social media websites.
