Let’s be honest with ourselves for a moment. We have all said things when we were younger that we regret, but if you’re somewhat of a celebrity with a following you might be a bit scared of what you’ve got hidden somewhere in your old Twitter and Facebook feed.   Many people have faced the music when their followers have found an old, defamatory, racist, or just plain rude post on their timeline, and it can seriously affect your reputation.   But like I said, we’ve all said something questionable in our time, especially when we were younger. And when social media first became a thing in our lives some felt they could post anything and everything without having to face consequences. But that could come round to bite you if you’re not careful. So what can you do? Well, you can go back and delete all the old, questionable posts yourselves, but that is pretty tedious. You could use twitter advanced search to filter through all the words and phrases you think you might have said that could lead to a bad post, but that can also be time-consuming and not very effective – but if you want to know how twitter advanced search can be used for a business, then read our article here, it’s completely free and lists a whole bunch of ways it can benefit a company! You could also use TweetDelete in the past, but if you have over 3,200 tweets then I’m afraid you’ll have to go back to the old way of doing it manually. There has to be a better way right? Right!   An inventor, Samuel Wood, has created something very usefully for all of you that are in this predicament, “Vanilla”. It is meant to help clean your old social media feed.   “The idea for Vanilla came about when

If we think about all the different social media platforms that came before – MySpace, MSN, even Facebook to an extent – they all became popular very quickly and their fire burnt fast, and what is left of them is a dull ember of a memory. Twitter, however, has stayed at the top of its game with over 336 million users worldwide. But due to its popularity, it is incredibly hard to stay on top of. It is constantly changing, and trends come and go. For a business, this can be a nightmare. The thought of posting something that isn’t quite up to date and current is a fear in a lot of people when they start their marketing on social media, but that shouldn’t stop you. Twitter can be a goldmine for a business. The possibility you have to be put in front of as many potential customers in unlimited. But, with over 8,000 tweets published every second, it’s easy to lose track of particular posts and interactions. So how do you stay on top? Easy. All you need to know is how to optimise the Twitter Advanced Search function. You might feel a little confused, why should you as a brand know how to search for yourself if you need your customers to be doing it? Well, if YOU know how to use it, and you know how you want to be found, then you can start to customise your twitter output to match that. It’s a tactic that can be applied in a lot of different situations; knowing what your end goal is and working backwards.  How can you know how to get somewhere if you don’t know where you’re trying to go?
