Retweet This - Is an application designed for use with the
Greasemonkey Firefox plug-in. It allows you to append a retweet button
to the end of each Twitter entry to encourage your followers to retweet your
posts.
Classify Twitter Users is a script that allows you to classify Twitter
users and decide whether they are worth following based on their friends,
followers and post ratios. Another Greasemonkey app, it’s a great tool to
help you weed out the Twitter spammers and fan boys from the socially
healthy.
You can set the script to use your own Twitter user
scales (e.g. spammer, social climber, social rock star) or just gather more
information about people you are following.
TwittAd
allows Twitter users to monetize their account by accepting advertising on
the background image of their Twitter user profile. You decide the duration
and price advertisers pay for exposure and get paid for
every hour you serve
the ad.
TwitterCounter lets you add a daily updating TwitterCounter to your blog
so everybody can see how popular you are by the number of persons following
you.
TweetBeep
is just like having Google Alerts for Twitter. It enables you to keep track
of conversations that mention you, your products or your company via email.
You can even keep track of who’s tweeting your
website or blog. It’s a great
tool for online reputation management and you don’t even have to be a
Twitter user to benefit from it. TweetBeep is another one of my personal
*must haves*.
Twitter Grader measures the reach and authority of a Twitter user,
calculated by the pace of their updates, the completeness of their profile,
their number of followers and the network power of those followers.
Twitter Grader displays as a score out of 100 and is
consistently updating and adapting as your Twitter account grows. Based on
those grades, Twitter Grader lists the
Twitter Elite globally and in each country,
just like
Technorati does for bloggers.
TwitPic,
as the name suggests, is a photo sharing tool for Twitter. When logged in,
it allows you to upload photos and post them with comments as a Tweet. It
works with a range of Twitter clients such as Twitterific,
Twhirl and MobileTwitter and stores all your photos in a single location with updated
viewing stats. As far as Twitter image sharing goes, this is king for
reliability.
Twuffer is
a Twitter buffer. It allows Twitter users to compose a list of future
tweets, and schedule their release. Twuffer is ideal for making hourly,
daily or monthly announcements or send post-dated birthday greetings
or
reminders to people about upcoming events. It’s also perfect if you’re the
type of person who wants to give the impression that you never sleep.
Twistori I have a real soft spot for. One of the developers is Amy Hoy,
one of my favorite speakers from Webstock 2008 and a goth geek to boot.
Twistori is a social experiment that taps into the Twitter conversations
revolving around life’s central activities: Love, Hate, Think, Believe,
Feel, Wish. You can click on any of these emotions and witness a live feed
of Tweets that use them. It’s voyeuristic and utterly compelling.
iTweet is
another interface for Twitter. It has built-in auto-refresh, search and hash
tags and features full follow, block and notifications features. Users can
view and post user bio, location and URLs inline with their tweets.
Another
cool feature of iTweet is the ability to Retweet a user post with a single
click.
Twitturly
is a service for tracking what URLs people are talking about as they talk
about them on Twitter. Similar to Digg, on Twitturly, people “vote” for a
URL. The more votes it gets the better it ranks.
If it does well enough, it
gets promoted to the home page and as the votes increase it gets displayed
higher up the home page. Twitturly differs from Digg in that instead of
voting on their site, you vote by participating on Twitter.
Each time that
you send a link to your followers on Twitter, Twitturly takes a note of it
and applies your vote to that URL. It’s a great way to follow the loudest
global conversations.
Mr Tweet
is another big favorite of mine. Similar to
LinkedIn,
it looks through your extended network and makes suggestions to help you
build effective relationships on Twitter. For example, which of your
followers should
you be following in return? Who are the most influential
people you should be following? Who are your followers following?
Twitter Search is Twitter’s own built-in and oft-overlooked search tool.
You can use it to search for other Twitter users, keywords, hash tag topics
and a range of cool shortcut items.
Non Twitter Specific Tools:
FlipTitle is, not surprisingly, a tool that enables you to flip text
upside down. It’s great for Twitter because sometimes your tweets can get
lost in the conversation. Using FlipTitle makes sure they get noticed.
Bit.ly
is a very cool URL shortener that also includes click-thru statistics. Why
is it perfect for Twitter? Because the length of the converted URLs is
generally much shorter than other URL converters like TinyURL.
When you are tweeting, space is premium as your whole post can only consist
of 140 characters including spacing.
The other neat thing aspect of Bit.ly is that it
keeps a record of clicks that your URLs received and where they originated
from. It even provides a share button so you can re-tweet your URLs on
Twitter or send them to
friends on Facebook, Gmail or another email client.
