Pick of the Twitter - one Tweet per hour is selected and displayed. From the FAQ: Q. “Will you tell me your Picking methodology?” A. “No”. Which is interesting since so far Tweets include such gems as: “Time for bed… night night everyone”. Not sure why you’d use this rather than just dipping into the public timeline, unless I’m missing something?

FAVRD - a feed of the most favourited Tweets. “FAVRD runs on a no-webcock algorithm. If you see Twitter as a venue for public relations or marketing, or as an audience eager to hear news of a post on your ‘blog’, or a rich hot sticky vertical, or if you consider yourself a web strategist, or if you talk earnestly about social media, or if you can read Techcrunch or listen to the Gillmor gang with a straight face, it’s very unlikely the things you say on Twitter will show up here.”

twee60 - Tweet your Xbox Live status. “This innovative service is secure and easy, just provide a few details after you’ve logged in to your account and your Xbox Live status information will automatically update 24×7 with no further intervention needed on your part.”
Please note user’s comment below:
The app is broken broken and shouldn’t even be classified as beta - xbox status is blank. You can’t cancel the account so you are stuck with garbage in your Twitter feed. As a work around, if you change your Twitter password, you’ll stop getting the feed injected…
