Twitter Apps From A to Z
Here are some Twitter applications and other cool tools for you to investigate.
A is for Autopostr…
Tweets automatically every time you add a photo to Flickr, by the simple addition of a hashtag # to the title of the photo.
B is for Birdhouse… a notepad for Twitter
Did you ever think of a tweet, but didn’t want to post it immediately? Then, you need Birdhouse.
C is for CrowdStatus… create a crowd
Create a crowd of those whose status you’d like to view. I’m not sure what the advantage this has over a group in TweetDeck (and, it’s all a bit manual) but there you go.
C is also for Clickable Now…
Add clickable links to your Twitter background image. Backgrounds used to be static. Nice, but non interactive. Now… go explore!
E is for Easy Tweets… Twitter marketing tool
Manage multiple Twitter accounts and monitors multiple keywords, trends, conversations and mentions of your product.
H is for Hashtags… what’s happening right now on Twitter
The use of hashtags is a recognised method for adding labels (or, metadata) to your tweet. Watch a hashtag topic trending live. Learn more about hashtags here.
H is also for HelloTxt… we are status
Posts to multiple networks and microblogs. Saves you having to log in and update individually. You can post to a personal or professional group.

T is also for Twitterific… making Twitter extra terrific
This is an iPhone and desktop application. It has a nice interface, as they say in the business.
T is also for Twollars… the currency of appreciation
“Twollars is a simple concept. It’s fun, it’s free and it’s designed to do good. People give you Twollars as a way of saying ‘thank you’. Then you donate your Twollars to charity. The Twollars you donate are converted by businesses and individuals into ‘real’ currencies to help raise money for charity.”
V is for Visible Tweets… what tweets do you want to visualise?
This web application is for displaying the latest tweet to mention a phrase or Twitter username publicly. It would look great before a conference or during a break in a trade show demonstration.
W is for What’s Up… what’s up with you?
This is a desktop application that tells you what’s up in the world, every few seconds.
