Another day, another celebration and this one is taking place all over the world! In case you’ve been living in a cave for the past month, the World Cup is making a big splash on the web and everyone has something to say. How are you going to get your World Cup fix? On Twitter of course.

  • World Cup Event Tweets
  • Individual World Cup Game Tweets
  • World Cup Game Schedule

This is definitely something every sports fanatic would love to see, but for now the only folks enjoying this awesome resource are World Cup fans. Don’t miss one minute of the action by visiting Twitter.com/WorldCup.

Parade – the gosh darn cutest Twitter app yet

It is all about being cute in this one with IsParade.  Enter a search term and the results are brought to you in a parade.  Each person in the parade gets the avatar from the search results and the band brings them marching across.  The help is written in Japanese and I have yet to finish my Rosetta Stone course, but it just works.

Tweets are shown as balloon pop-ups.  You can click anyone to get them to pause and dance to show you their tweet.  Some play drums, some skip, some march.  I don’t even want to give it away.  Just go enter a keyword or Twitter id and watch the festivities.  The music is different the couple things I tried.

Bettween: A New Conversation Tracker For Twitter

Bettween is a new conversation tracker for Twitter. Hailing itself as the ultimate in its class, Bettween allows you to input the user name of two twitter users and follow any conversations between them. It’s a good way to follow unfolding conversations between celebrities, or keep track of previous conversations you’ve had with your followers.

We’ll warn you now, if the people you search for tweet a lot, it could be up to 5 minutes before any matches are displayed.  It does attempt to go back as far in tweets as possible, but this is apparently only done once so the lag will not show again.  Also, no authentication is required, so this means if they have protected tweets you will not be able to capture the data.

Flocking.Me – searches and trends from just your Twitter friends

Flocking.me takes a great approach to searches against twitter.  Instead of a search giving you results form everyone, it only gives results from your friends.

Authentication is done via oAuth and offers four areas to work with:

  • search results from your friends
  • results on a map
  • trends from just your friends
  • live updates

This is a great tool you should add to your arsenal of ways to gather information and see what is hot.  We already know that your friends are a finely tuned micro-community.  Exploit that with this tool.

After you authenticate, it prompts you to send a tweet you are using the service and to follow them.  Both are simple checkboxes you can leave enabled (default) or disable.  You get a new web interface over your Twitter background in a grid mode showing recent tweets from those you follow.  Icons on the top left allow you to change from the grid, map mode and list form.  What was weird is that I could not reply or retweet from any of the ones showing.  I could cick to see more on that person, but that was it.

Trends show across the top and there is a button for your lists now as well as the number of new tweets shows so you can refresh the grid or map.  When I zoomed all the way out on the map it did not seem to refresh but that could have just been my connection at the moment of testing.

SearchCheck: Get Alerts When Your Tweets Don’t Show Up In Twitter Search

Recently, there’s been a surge in complaints by Twitter users whose tweets aren’t getting indexed in Twitter Search.  When I recently shared ways to avoid being filtered from Twitter Search,  the amazing TwitterKarma developer, Dossy, alerted me to his new service: SearchCheck.

SearchCheck will notifiy you via DM on each day that your tweets are not indexed by Twitter. Not only can you use my prevention strategies, but Dossy has simplified the process of worrying over Twitter indexing your tweets with SearchCheck.
