Twitter Fans

Filed under: blogs, tools, mobile

It seems there are some Twitter fans like myself out there, check out the Twitter Wiki.

Also see the Yahoo! Twitter Group and another community.

For windows users try the Twitter Submitter (scroll down to lots of Twitter resources), but this is browser based, I need something like Twitterific…IM will do me for now.

Maybe I’ll try the TWapp (requires .net 2)

Twidget and Twitgit look good, post via a desktop widget (pity it’s for mac only)…maybe I’ll browse a widget gallery - Yahoo! Widgets (desktop), Google gadgets (web), musestorm (web or desktop), snipperoo (web), widgetbox (web), springwidgets (web or desktop), widgipedia (web or desktop)…I suppose you could use Bitty Browser.

Still looking to post to Twitter from my phone email, the closest thing to Twitter and email so far is MailTwitterPHP (to techie for me).

  1. John,

    What are you looking for?

    IM to twitter? I think I could whip that up for you. I’m surprised it’s not out there.

  2. Nevermind. Just saw your previous post. Man. If they can make a business out of this, I’ll kick myself for not doing it.

  3. Hi LibraryClips!

    Thank you for the inclusion on your blog. [I’m the Twitter Submitter guy]

    I’m hoping that somebody takes the Twitter Submitter and writes an easy, simple Widget for Win32 - to do something like what you’re looking for — for that’s what I want as well!!

    Maybe I can brush up on some Visual Basic again and throw something together — watch this space :)

  4. Matt,

    The bit about IM in my post sounded a bit vague, Twitter does have IM posting and receiving, that’s how I am using it at the moment, it’s great.

    Even better would be a dedicated service in my systems tray like the many available on the mac, such as Twitterific.

    Anyway, when I’m on the go, I want to be able to email a post to Twitter rather than SMS, as it is cheaper for me to email (plus I would have to check with the Twitter staff if Australia can be included in the SMSability).

    Kenneth,

    I look out for your tinkerings, leave a comment here if you remember.

  5. Twitter Submitter W32 1.4 now available. Tested under Win95, Win98, Win2k, WinXP (have a lot of computers @ the house), you can submit your Twitter musings to your Twitter without needing a browser! It’s very “old school” but it works quite well.

    You can find it at: http://kudut.freeshell.org/TWTSUB14.zip

    If you have any questions about it, lemme know. Library Clips, I hope this helps you out.

  7. Yeah, i’d like to be able to submit via email too… I’m in the uk and so sms to twitter will cost me but i can send an sms to email as part of my tariff. I take it, currently, there’s no way to do that?
