Twitter’s API allows for external web services to use the platform. This has led to a host of applications that help make managing your Twitter account easier – whether it be for business or personal. Here’s a few worth looking into:


Twitterfeed – Twitterfeed integrates with your blog so that every time you publish a new blog post, your Twitter feed is updated automatically.

Tweetmeme – For finding new memes and top tweets on Twitter. Sort options include subject, media types (news, images or video), and period of time.

We Follow – A director of Twitter users if you are looking to find people to follow, sorted by topic of interest. Also a place to add yourself if you are hoping to gain users yourself.

Twellow – another director of Twitter users, plus Twellowhood, for finding people in a specific geographic location.

Bit.ly – A URL shortener with click-through information.

MyTweeple – Trying to decide whether to follow someone? Use this tool to check out a persons user stats, latest tweets, and to penalize spammers.

Hootsuite – A nice application for scheduling tweets for later dates. Also can track stats.

TweetDeck – A favorite of ours in the office. Everyone around me uses TweetDeck to display their tweets in customizable columns which can be sorted by groups and type of message (i.e. DMs, mentions). For desktop and iPhone.

Readtwit – Readtwit is a way to filter your Twitter feed so that redirects (such as URL shorteners) are resolved and you get an RSS feed of your content.

What the Trend – This site explains why certain topics are trending.

Do you have any other favorites?
