Taweet is an easy service that you can use to manage the scheduling of your tweets for event promotions and marketing. What separates Taweet from other scheduling services is the integration of threaded conversations and multiple account management. These are features that you probably won’t find in other schedulers.

Twunlog is actually created and managed by someone I know, Yancy Lent, so it was interesting to see the development efforts. He started with a clean UI and oAuth integration to get you moving. From there the homepage has a listing of the current public running activity. It shows over 9100 runners covering an already amazing 108k miles. Adding your own was quite simple:
1. Tweet a run (@ Twitter) ex. “Just ran 3.4 miles” or “Back from a 4.45 mile run”.
In the current timeline you see the avatar of the person and the amount of miles (and ghosted below the kilometers) the person ran and the tweet that was picked up. The funny thing is some of them might not even be using the service, Twunlog just picks them up. It will also show the number of runs entered for that person.
Once logged in you can see your history as well as flag any tweets the filter picked up that were not actual runs. Like “I feel like I ran 14 miles” when you sat at your desk.
As more runs are listed you will see more reports and better tracking. A great service for runners trying to keep track. We know you tweet while you run

Who’s in it for the conversations and who’s in it for the money when it comes to your followers on Twitter? Unmasker is a neat game that tells it like it is. Based on the bio of Twitter users, find out if they’re ” evil bandwagon riders ” or angels (read: original).
Can you guess what Chris (@idonotes) and I (@corvida) are?
Unmasker attempts to expose those people who write generic, disingenuous crap in their Twitter bio.
Original, honest bios go to heaven, buzzword laden rubbish is sent to hell.

TrendsMap is a slick application allowing you to see trends in realtime come and go on a map that you control. You can do the normal zoom in and out to see trends in specific areas. You can only view in so many times, basically to a nice city type view.
There is a world view, region, and city view with a simple click. Otherwise you can navigate anywhere you wish. If you select your area it seems to attempt to find you by where you access the service since there is no authentication.
Clicking on any word brings up the tweets surrounding it as well as local news articles around it! Very cool! You can then navigate to that word or place with a simple click. Clicking words like flooding also brought up inline videos. I was impressed yet again.
To fix: What was missing was the ability to specify a city to make the zooming easier. If it was there I did not easily see it which means most users would miss it. I also could not close the pop-up boxes, which was slightly annoying.
For help they have a tutorial screencast available in how everything works.
