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.
To honor this event, Twitter themselves have made the perfect site to compliment the games: World Cup 2010 Tweets. We hope to see expanded to the NBA, NFL, and other sports as the site features:
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.

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 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 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:
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.

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.

When Did You Join Twitter? is a nifty little site that tells you when someone joined Twitter down to the exact date. You can also tweet out these stats to your followers. This is a cool service for establishing your authority on Twitter, figuring out whether someone is a complete newb (or spammer) or Twitter, or just in case you ever wanted to know.

Tired of adding ego feeds to your RSS Reader? Want to keep track of when you’re mentioned on Twitter? MentionNotifier is the perfect solution!
MentionNotifier will check Twitter every minute of the day for mentions of your Twitter handle. It even supports hashtag notifications. Simply enter your Twitter username (or keyword that you’d like notifications for), and enter in the email address you’d like MentionNotifier to send alerts too. You can enter multiple email addresses, which is great for group alerts on specific keywords.
Via the email alerts you can manage your subscriptions, which will look like the image below.
Note: Protected tweets will not show up as they are not part of the public timeline which MentionNotifier uses to scan for your subscriptions.
