30 Twitter Apps We Actually Use and 140 After That
Liz published this at 8:27 am
At Open Comments this week, we talked about the Twitter Apps we find most useful and most fun to use. If you are a Twitter maven, you’ll see immediately that this is not a comprehensive list, but as a maven, you’d also know that many apps do the same things. At the end of the list I’ve included a reference to a longer list for you.
- Twitter — the original web-based microblogging platform
- TwitterSearch – find a tweet, a topic, or a person
- TweetDeck — breaks down an abundance of twitter feeds into more manageable pieces.
- Twhirl — a social software desktop client for Twitter delivery, based on the Adobe AIR platform.

I was just thinking this morning about how many tools, feeds and apps have been built around twitter.
Interestingly, yesterday morning in the shower I had a great idea based on the movie Bambi. — a single’s site (not that I’m interested) using: twitterpated.com – taken. Good, I didn’t have the passion for it really but someone will take it and run with it, I’m sure.
Yesterday I came across http://www.Twitterpages.com and
today, Twitterclassifieds and twitpay!
Thanks for the list. I suspect it will grow!

Great post, Liz, you definitely compiled a good list of Twitter apps. I also like Twittervision (http://twittervision.com/) as a simple, but fun real-time illustration of how the the worlds a-twitter.

Liz, thanks for this summary from last night! I’ll be back to go through the list in more depth. I like using summize for searching and tracking.

Thanks for putting together a good, concise list. I don’t think I have time to read about 140 tools.
I had totally forgotten about TwitterLocal. Glad to be reminded, put it to good use.

Nice list of apps .. a few new I haven’t seen before!
Lindsay said
Very thorough list, though if I used many of these, I think I’d spend more time with Twitter than I do blogging (and making money!).
Brad Shorr said
Liz, I don’t make it for Open Mic night as often as I’d like (House is on at the same time, for gosh sakes
), but this one was exceptionally fun AND informative. Thank you, thank you, thank you for orchestrating this forum and harnessing the power of conversation.
