I think I am rather outdated as I have just discovered Google Realtime. I believe it has been around for some time and yet I have failed to notice it earlier.

See up-to-the-second social updates about hot topics around the world.

- Google Realtime

The first thing I love about Realtime is “New results will appear below as they become available” and the option to “pause“. At least something I can control.

The new results will appear on top so you don’t have to keep refreshing the page.

Of course my first keyword is “freelancing”.

To my surprise, you can get some amazing freelancing gigs with Realtime. If you are always on the hunt for the best freelancing gigs on the internet, this is the best way to find the right freelance job.

I guess this is a whole new way to discover more freelancing gigs on the internet. This is good news for all freelancers, whether you are a freelance writer or a freelance designer.

Good luck searching for a gig that suits you.

I love Google.

If you are a freelance writer, I am sure you have a Twitter profile.

Having a Twitter profile is cool because you get to communicate with other freelance writers around the world.

Sometimes, you can even land a freelance writing job, which is something that all freelance writers are looking for.

In order to keep track of your Twitter profile such as your followers, you need some really cool Twitter tools to help you get started.

Here is a list of really cool Twitter tools to help you (and I find them very useful!).

1. Friend or Follow – @FriendOrFollow

A cool application that helps you sort out your Twitter profile. You get to see the people you are following but NOT following you back, people who are following you but you are NOT following them and people who are following you and you ARE following them.

2. Twittercounter

Analyse your Twitter profile.

3. Twitter Grader

Another cool tool to analyse your Twitter profile, with a grade.

4. Twitterfeed

Post your RSS feed to Twitter automatically (very easy!) – especially if you have tons of blogs to manage.

5. Your Twitter Karma

Works similarly to Friend or Follow.
