TweetWhen – gauge when to retweet for best results

TweetWhen , from HubSpot, was picked up by @Alanlepo and we had to check it out. If you ever wondered when your tweets had the biggest impact, this site attempts to show you just that.

Sample report courtesy TweetWhen

You simply enter your Twitter username (if you are a protected Twitter stream you will not be able to use the service) and an optional email address. I checked to see why they ask for the email address optionally and no clue is given. I presume for a mailing list.

It will then grab your last 1000 tweets to analyze. Smartly it also says to register for an upcoming webinar while you wait. Great marketing move. As for myself I was told that Monday’s at 10am is my best time. There is a link to tweet that out, of course.

Tweetspinner – rotate avatars, clean your DM’s and follower management

Tweetspinner is a web based application with a few little tricks inside. They do require their own login to get started, which can be different than your Twitter credentials. Note the little checkbox to skip adding yourself to their mailing list. You provide an email address and password to gain access to the interface.

You can add multiple Twitter accounts to their system, using oAuth for each. The catch is that there is different levels of capabilities depending on what service you choose. You come in as basic level, with some limits in capabilities.

I was totally unsware of this when I first entered the system. Costs are free/$15 month/$21 month to pro (no price listed). You can add more Twitter acocunts with each level as well as filters, pruning and more.

There is no way to delete your account either, which I found interesting. FOr some reason I decided not to move on due to these facts.

Proxlet – block apps, mute users and tags across clients

Proxlet could be a savior when it comes to times that events kick off (ahem SXSW) in being able to mute particular users, apps or even hashtags on Google Chrome and supported native clients. The simple extension installs easily and has a ton of filtering abiltity. Setting and prefrences even sync across clients you install this on.

I immediately found benefit blocking such things like Foursquare checkins pushed to Twitter and a few other select hastags and variables.

You can not only filter the above, but use it in reverse to only show tweets with links (thanks to their FAQ for that tip). The developers have no ads embedded, so there is no money to be made here. They only request beer.
