Today I found out that Orkut has apps now, just like everyone else, but somehow I don’t really care. What I do care about is finding ways to get the most out of Twitter. Here are a few tools that you should know about:
Alpha Twitter is tracks which links are most popular on Twitter.
#hastags provides realtime tracking of Twitter hastags
TweetAhead lets you schedule Twitter posts ahead of time. Not quite ready for primetime.
Stammy Script allows you to push your RSS feeds out across Twitter. I’ve seen a lot of people doing this, but I’m not sure whether I like it or not. If too many people start doing it then Twitter will die.
Tweetburner lets you share what happens with the links you share on Twitter.
Twhirl is a great IM like program that allows you to use Twitter without being in a browser window.
TwitBox lets you view and submit tweets, see replies, direct messages, delete your own tweets, and also offers multiple account support. Also had Second Life support. Great idea, but the developer has stopped working on it.
Twitterholic is for people who want to track the top accounts on Twitter.
TwitterSnooze is for people who want to put the breaks on Twitter friends.
