Twitter Tools

December 29, 2008 by Dennis Baker 

It seems I am not the only one that to spent the holidays exploring Twitter.  The website has gotten so popular that many affiliate websites have popped up that is meant to help enhance your twitter experience.  To continue the Lindsay Price’s comment regarding if Twitter will last, what about all these other twitter tools. It seems like it will be safe to assume that some will not make it through 2009. Do we really need these separate sites? You make the call, check out the below tools to see what sparks your twit taste and pick which one you thing will last. Or is there one that we did not mention. Let us know about it.

Tweetree – @saadkamal points out the biggest compliant about Twitter is that the conversations are hard to follow.  As you can see by my Tweetree image below, all the conversations are line up so you can keep an easy track of who is responding to who.  It will also upload pictures and video so you don’t have to click the link.

TwellowHood – @problogger mentions a site to find your local twitter peeps. Do you want to gossip about your senator, or want to let everyone in on the best coffee shop in town? One can also update their profile. My twitter profile was already listed and I was able to update my new twellow profile with all my networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Digg & Stumpleupon. You can also look up people by specific interests. This might be a good way to boost up your follows. If you are active on Twitter, and follow a lot of people within your area of specialty, they will usually follow you back.

TwitArt & MyTweetSpace – Another way to let people know what you are about it a personalized background. This also helps you stand out when people I looking through the list of emails and deciding who they want to follow. If you have any web design experience you can create a simple HTML file, preview it in a browser, save it as a JPG and upload it to your Settings. If you want a customized background and willing to pay for it, TwitArt is for you. If money is tight MyTweetSpace offers free background templates. They are pretty simple three step process: 1. Select your background, 2. Fill in your information and network links to create your badge, 3. Upload the file.
