Made by the makers of twtvite, “where will you go next” is the question that Twttrip has for Twitter users. Twittrip is a neat way to let your followers know when and where your next trip will take place. You can also use twttrip to find other “tweeples” that may be heading to the same destination.

Tweet3 provides a way for those with multiple Twitter accounts to easily manage them via the web. Tweet3 takes things one step further than most multiple account managers by providing analytic tracking features for users of the service.
Tweet3 is utilizing Google’s powerful charting and map APIs to bring you useful data about your Twitter accounts and URLs that you share.
Tweet3 also pushes another timeline view to users with a minimized version of tweets so that users can view more tweets on one page. A URL shortening service, Facebook integration, & a nice selection of customization options puts Tweet3 in the ranks of some of the best mutiple Twitter account managers on the web.

Retweetist is a simple idea and an easy to use site. You get to see what topics are currently being retweeted, making them possible hot topics. On the right sidebar (below the ads) you see who is the most retweeted and you can search for any username on Twitter to see all items they have had retweeted.
A tab at the top shows the most retweeted URL’s and person. Then by following their Twitter id you can get all the popular retweets sent to you. Almost like a filter.

Snipt.org is in alpha just in time for all you developers to share pieces of code, with line numbers even, across Twitter.
All in all a simple service, but I have one question. Could someone share code that isn’t nice using this? I know it is not executing, but take the links at your own risk as always

Tweepler aims to simplify the task of getting new followers and trying to decide if you should follow them back or not. I am suffering from this currently with a great influx of followers. I wish I had time to go through each one and see what they post and start tuning my filters. Tweepler makes some good claims:
Simplistic and Intuitive Interface: We’ve made it simple and enjoyable to process your new followers and to access those you’re already following.
Reduce Clutter: Archive followers out of the way by placing them in the Ignore bucket and never having to look at them again!
Save Time: View detailed stats for new followers, eliminating the need to go to each individual profile and further speeding up the decision process.
So I went ahead and logged into the site to see how it worked for me. I watched the screencast before I started and then let it rip. It estimates 1 minute per 1000 combined of following and followers. I totaled over 1000 but below 2000 and it finished on about 60 seconds. So far so good. Once it you get 3 columns to work with.
The left column is people you already follow. The far right column is an ignore feature. It does not block users on Twitter, just moves them to a place where you know you looked at them. The crux of everything is the huge middle column. I don’t suggest tackling this in one day. There is too much information.
Not only to you get to see the avatar and name, you get their profile from twitter and a More details action. This is where it gets interesting. I see a sample of your immediate previous tweets, how many you follow, how many follow you and the ratio. One bug so far is that if their Twitter description is too long, the more details button is hidden. For some people I could just see the edge of it, so it must be character count. This was in Firefox browser for anyone keeping score.
Now once you move people around you can always move them again. I tested this a few times. So basically you get a quick sorting for your followers and those you follow. It even sorts the listing by the people most recently folowing you which is great.
So overall I am liking it but it will take some time to get through everyone.

Filttr is supposed to be a learning mechanism to start giving you the tweets you only want to see.
Filttr makes it easy for you to do just that. our super intelligent birds understand what interests you, and only fetch you the tweets they think you’ll want to see.
Now you do provide your Twitter username and password. From there it jumps over to your stream you follow to start building keywords. It builds some keyword filters on the fly or you can go to settings and make a mess all by yourself. To make it easy I wanted to see what they came up with. Not much was apparent.
You can pause the auto-updating and create groups for those you follow. Even blacklist specific keywords. Specific friends can be given priority. I really liked this feature.
So another client to test out and play with. Tweaking might take time but might prove beneficial to watching the flow.

TweetEffect does one thing right form the very beginning. It does not ask for your twitter password. Bravo! It simply uses the data publicly available (from my testing) on when you get new followers and when you lose them. Coupled with what tweet may have made them do it.
I made a screencast and posted it at TheSocialNetworker and embedded it here.
I simply entered my Twitter username and it began pulling data. It the showed me that in the last 200 tweets i only lost 7 and gained new followers after 10 of those tweets. Then scrolling down, the details of when they came and went and on what tweet. Awesome service

Twitterfall is an interesting way to watch trends in Twitter. I appreciate the way they wrote it and they explain it best:
Twitterfall is a way of viewing the latest ‘tweets’ of upcoming trends on the micro-blogging site Twitter. Updates fall from the top of the page in near-realtime.
Unlike other sites, Twitterfall purely does trends (for now). Because of this, we can be efficient – Twitter is queried from the Twitterfall server, and results are pushed to your browser, rather than your browser doing the queries, or your computer polling our server repeatedly.
So basically you find the trend you want, or choose one of theirs that are on the side and watch the tweets come in. You can control the
You can log into your Twitter acocunt and then replies and following are now avaiable also. A cool web client to use for Twitter

Warning: You are sending your twitter username and password to some unknown bot for this to work, use at your own risk.
I ran across this article on how someone has made a bot that will send a Skype instant message, through an account and into Twitter for you. Also replies are sent back.
# Add twitter4skype as a contact.
# Type the following as a single chat message to twitter4skype:/account (shift+return)
yourtwitteraccountname (shift+return)
yourtwitteraccountpassword (shift+return)
# The system should return: twitter4skype Registration complete!
# The next time you write a chat message to twitter4skype, the entry will appear on your account and you’ll receive your friends’ twitters in Skype.
