12 Useful Web Based Twitter Tools!
Introduction
Twitter is rapidly becoming the largest and most utilized social community tool out there for both personal and business use. This have spawned developers to creating a slew of third party Twitter applications that are both useful and fun! I thought I was going to create a list of the ones that I know about so you can use them in your daily Twittering.
What really surprises me is that you can do so much from the Twitter API. Heard somewhere that they do not supply the IP address in the API for various reasons. Would be cool to see an app that actually plotted put your followers on a map so you could know instantly where they are from. Maybe something to create. Anyone?
If you know of any other apps except the ones listed here, you are more then welcome to add it in a comment below and I will add them to the list and credit you for it.
Twitter Grader
If you want to compare (grade) yourself to other Twitters this app gives you your precise chart position in the Twitter world.
Nearby Tweets
Have you ever wondered if someone of your Twitter followers is living close to you. Nearby Tweets is the perfect app to check that.
Cursebird
Just how much do we curse on Twitter. Check out this app that shows everytime someone curse and what they said.

Let’s you actually visualize the URLs sent to you by the people you follow, and much more (search, RSS, …)
[Reply]
Really tweet list. Especially like the friend or follow site.
[Reply]
Thanks for the list which covers most applications I appreciate. I strongly suggest you also check out http://MicroPlaza.com and its Tribal Search which has just been released under private beta and which provides a mix of Digg, Delicious and RSS that allows you to browse, search and monitor relevant news tweeted by the people or groups of people you follow… and lot’s more.
An example is this search for most popular articles from the BBC website: http://microplaza.com/search?q=url%3Anews.bbc.co.uk

I new to twitter and studying the behavior of the people i follow.
A lot of the tools on the list seem very usefull, as you quickly loose the grip on all the Tweeds when you are following more than 100 people.
[Reply]
Tweets are hard to manage and the archiver doesn’t do such a great job to archive them, perhaps this will be placed in later additions of Twitter
[Reply]
Really nice list. Some of these tools are very usefull.

The twitter API is really great – and the wide variety of apps that keep springing up benefits us all!
I went for a mouse-scan-style interface for quickly checking in with all your friends. It’s simple. fun. useful.

It allows you to type up to 280 characters in a single tweet.
[Reply]
You missed Destroy Twitter. Makes TweetDeck seem obsolete.
[Reply]
Good list of apps. Just used Friend Or Follow to separate the wheat from the chaff as it were.
[Reply]
there is also TwtFilter
[Reply]
Hey, what an useful list.
But unfortunately you forot to mention my small Twitter-Mashup Tweet-Rank, that analyzes the influence of each tweet on yout follower number.
So give it a try:
[Reply]
A really good and interesting compilation.
Many greetings BodoHL

You missed out tweetmeme, you are using their button but you have seemed to overlooked their website.

I’m missing one of the most important ones for brands: CoTweet!

The best tool I’ve found (since I manage both a personal account and one for work), is TweetLater for my work Twitter profile. I’m using the basic free version, but they have a higher-end option.

I found your blog on google, and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Check out: http://txtn.us – it’s in beta now. Url shortener, some text fun tools like mirroring and upside down.
It uses special characters to guarantee just 6 characters in the URL, like this:
http://❽.ws/❤
Seems pretty cool. They also have tools to reduce text using ligature replacements, to fit more into the 140 limits. It’s beta but I’ve noticed it’s getting better. And why not? My son is heading things up.
Give it a try. Of course it also can be used on other social media sites.

If you dont want to hand over your twitter usernames and passwords to a third party website but want to implement a “keyword” autofollow
Or
if you are running multiple accounts and need more than 100 api hits an hour (if you get your ip address whitelisted you can get 20,000 api calls an hour).
Then check out http://www.MyTwitterButler.com for $10 it’s a windows .net application that run directly on your pc instead of in the cloud.
It does two things;
1/ Auto Follows Users with up to 4 search terms per twitter account (allows multiple accoutns – I run mine with 11 accounts simultaneously but it slows it down).
2/ Direct Message Broadcast – you can send a direct message to all you users with just one click.
Cheers,

How about hottweeters.com? A useful Twitter tool for self esteem boosting.
[Reply]
Great post! You should add Ref.ly to your list. It’s an amazing new tool for turning Bible verses into short URLs.
[Reply]
You should include Foller.me ( http://foller.me ) in this list
[Reply]
If you understand the difference between using a web app and a desktop app then you might want to check out http://www.MyTwitterButler.com
Does the same as Twollow in that it can auto follow twitter users based on 4 keywords per account (can run multiple accounts at the same time) but is run from a desktop so you don’t need to hand over your user name and password.
Cheers,
Dean

Is there a way to search tweets in your timeline? If not it’s good idea to create this because lots of people tweet very often and to refer it again you can have a search,

I had always hoped for a program like Tweet Cube so I downloaded it just now. The upload button does nothing when pressed. Is their server down, or does this not work anymore?
[Reply]
Very cool way to post helpful links to twitter tools. I really like tweet stats, it’s been around for a while & gives accurate results.

Nice collection, just checked out the radar app, pretty cool. thanks
[Reply]
How in the world is Chirrps.com not on there? It used to be known as dailyRT, but we changed the name.
I’m a little biased of course, but I find it the single best source of news in my day to day workings.
[Reply]
Your post is really informative for me. I liked it very much.
