Twitter Apps

Who Should I Follow? - recommendations from Tim Bauer on who you should follow on Twitter, based on popularity and location.

Twist - discover Twitter trends, search for concepts (or keywords) seperated by a comma. Twist will generate a graph to illustrate their popularity. You can also click on the terms to see the related Tweets.

Top Tweet - A little select cross-section of the Twitterscape. “We pick only the cream of Twitter users, a cross-section of personalities to get you hooked!” See the smashing Twitter page for a list of who they follow.

Intwition - tracks links on Twitter, enter a domain and Intwition provides information on the pages that have been linked to, how many times and by who. Not sure how comprehensive this is, but it could be really great. Also includes a leaderboard and a “new item finder” or what’s popular now page.

Twitt(url)y - tracking popular links on Twitter. “It operates similar to Digg where people vote on an item and it gets displayed higher up the home page, but more closely to PageRank where basically every person that links to the same final url, is considered a vote for that URL.” Not terribly impressive as yet.

twitigg - digg for Twitter, popular stories submitted to Twitter.

Twitterholic - top 100 Twitterholics (based on the number of followers) and accompanying stats.

Twemes - “Twemes.com follows public Twitter.com tweets (messages) that have embedded tags that start with a # character. These are sometimes called hashtags but we like to use the term twemes.”

Tweetmeme - “put simply it watches what is going on within twitter and picks up anyone posting links to content. We then track how many other mentions of the same content are made (and how influential they are.) and present them in a simple format.”

Twitter Buzz - view the most popular Twitter links for the last day.

Tweet Clouds - create Tweet/tag clouds from your Twitter stream.
