8 Tools for the Twitter Community
Posted by JasonSocial media and networking continue to get a lot of hype. Twitter, as an example, has grown by over 750% in the past 12 months with an astonishing 1 billion tweets and counting!
Applications and tools for these growing sites and platforms are growing quickly too. If you use twitter, here are 8 newer sites / tools to consider checking out:
- TWIDENTIFY: Just launched last week, TWIDENTIFY allows you to search twitter 3 different ways
- TweetContest: Launching in a couple of days, contests add some fun into the mix
- MrTweet: Add as a friend, and he will DM you a list of influencers and followers you should check out
- justtweetit: Add your name to the directory and get found, or find others like you
- TWEET SCAN: Get tweets e-mailed to daily or weekly that match keywords you set
- TwitterImage: Custom twitter background images for your twitter page
- Tweet Link Monster: Eats all of the tweets that the people you follow tweet and spits out the ones that have links in them as an Atom feed
- WiseStamp: Enables you to easily customize and add personalized e-mail signatures on any webmail service
Whether you use these or any of the hundreds of apps, sites, widgets, badges, or tools that are available now is a great time to get involved or re-engaged in the twitter community. Social media and sites like twitter will continue to grow exponentially, and people have chosen there 2-3 communities to really get involved with. If you spend a majority of your time blasting a one-way conversation to all of your sites / networks through tools like ping, this doesn’t count as engaged or involved… Sorry.
What other tools do you use or recommend for the twitter community?

Just thought I’d drop in an odd one to make it 9 - Twitrak (http://www.Twitrak.com) lets you select a Twitter member and Trak their basic profile AND their friends and followers on the same page. You can also build a WallTrak that has icons of your last 1000 or so Friends or Followers and make a JPEG out of them.

So of all the apps you mentioned, which one would you say is the best? I see a lot of tweets coming from tweetdeck, do you think that one is worth downloading? I just joined twitter a few weeks ago, andlove finding the best ways to utilize it, so thank you for this list.

Jennifer,
I use TweetDeck, it’s pretty slick. I’ve used twhirl previously, and know a lot of people that do. TweetDeck gets my vote!
Thanks,
Jason

Oh no! It’s not free. I can’t afford it. I’m also still new on twitter. Is there any methods to change the background free?
