If there was a field of wild flowers atop a grassy hill on which Twitter could run, in slow motion, with open arms toward a similarly open-armed, slow-motion running passionate lover, that lover would be me.

I've tried to do the middle school guy thing and play it cool. But this is officially my love note to Twitter (that I will have my best friend deliver for me).  *Blush*

I sort of admitted it already in a recent tweet that steals a hysterical phrase from a Saturday Night Live skit—the one in which Christopher Walken wants more cow bell.

For new and emerging Twitter fans, and for the ceritifed twitteraholics, here are three great tools to help you get the most of your Twitter experience.  These tools will save you time and enhance your blogging and micro blogging.

TwiTip - a blog on all things Twitter, helping you know what to do and what NOT to do.  TwiTip comes from Darren Rowse (@ProBlogger) from ProBlogger Blog Tips.

 Tweet Adder - a "set it and forget it" tool that can do techy work for you, so you can focus on writing fun micro messages.  Tweet Adder is like having a social media assistant.

Featured Users - an easy way to get yourself out there in the Twitter community. Ideal for bloggers and website owners. Very ideal for anyone who is branding themselves, a blog, or a business.  And who isn't?

Even though there are tools and advice out there, remember to have fun with the trial-and-error nature of new tools like Twitter.  Just call the first year your beta version. And remember to follow me @tweric!

Oh, and I've written about it here and here, but once again, the best book out about Twitter is Twitterville by Shel Israel.  If you read one book about social media, global communities and Twitter, read Twitterville.
