TwitJump is a newest third-party app that pushed into the Twitterverse. It was created as a Twitter app that helps you to build a social brand for whatsoever reason you joined Twitter, regardless it’s about your blog, product, or company brand.

Since this tool is about brand building, it will show you a bunch of features that does essentially the same same thing as any other Twitter marketing tool by offering tweet scheduling, follows other tweeters based on keywords, performance analysis (followed back count and percentage), un-follow any tweeter if some of them don’t follow you back after one month from the follow date, and many others.

Using TwitJump is just like practicing a scientific approach to run and manage your Twitter account. Once you’ve used keyword search to locate the right tweeters to follow, TwitJump will also provides recommendations on whom you should follow, and it might be a little easier for those who want a one-click bulk following. On the other hand, for those who want to have a 1:1 following and follow back ratio on their Twitter account, TwitJump as a Twitter marketing tool helps you to maintain a mutual follow/follow-back relationship.

In addition, for those tweeters who miss the “Bulk Unfollow” feature offered by Twitter Karma (that TechHotSpot did not profile on this blog at this moment), which has been removed unfortunately. Now, they can used this TwitJump in order to helps you sort through all of your follows and see who’s not following you in return, and remove them if you wish to after one-month of following.

Currently, TwitJump is offering 60-day free trial and comes with a complete features for new users. However, the purchase price for using TwitJump after that 60-day expired still unknown at the time of my writing.

In fact, a new trend has emerged where businesses started to use Twitter as a mean to build a new trustworthy relationships with their customers also contributed to the fact that picking up the username of your first choice would be not easy. Additionally, Google is already indexing tweets. In other words, a SEO (Search Engine Optimization)-friendly username that best reflect the purpose of your Twitter use can help your tweets for future search indexing.
