sharing ideas thoughts and feedback

Roundup : Ideajam, SHOULD do THIS , digFoot , Tweeterboard, Gridjit

Filed under: tools, roundup

Ideajam - similar to social bookmarks but for ideas, seems more focused on products, as you select an IdeaSpace to post to, and it’s very focused on IBM, must be similar to ThinkPlace…see more idea sites like Bank of Ideas, Acorn, and IdeaWicket.

SHOULD do THIS - similar to an idea network as above, but focused precisely in a few words (micro-blogging style) towards what a service/product should do. Wish I found this earlier, as I’ve been posting these product wishlist type of posts to Twitter and tagging them #Qjt via Twitter Hashtags…but then again Twitter has a great community.

Here is a product page for Twitter…it has a feed and a widget.

Here is an example of an entry, people can leave comments, cheers and agree.

Here is a user space.

I’m not sure if the staff from these products are listening like Satisfaction (a forum for web 2.0 services), I know CommonCraft does as they have integrated SHOULD do THIS into their own website.

digFoot - yet another profile aggregator service, not sure if streams your stuff. It also acts as a social network directory as you can submit sites.

Tweeterboard - has indexed a slice of Twitter users (2600) and tracks conversations by monitoring @replies to a person, and @replies from a person.
There is a ranking system for users based on the frequency of conversation ie. replies to you, and I guess if people replying to you have lots of replies given to themselves, this makes you all the more popular. Brass tacks, if someone popular replies to you over a rookie, then this gets you more juice. Check out one of the 2000 users, and the Top 100.

I like the idea of trends, to see who you talk to the most, and who talks with you the most…at the moment on our Twitter homepage we just have a reply stream and that’s it, but visitors to your site cannot see your reply stream.
This is unlike the blogosphere where for any given post you can see comments. This is not exactly the same as a stream of all comments on your blog, but you can get this via the comments RSS feed, and even re-syndicate it to a HTML page.
I’d like to see TwitterBoard or Twitter itself allow me to organise my reply stream by user.

Here is an example user, here you can see the reputation score, frequency of posts, a list of users they talk to, a list of users who talk to them, and a list of links from their tweets with an RSS feed (also see Twitterbuzz).

Similar Analytics:
TwitStat - wordbursts, replytweetsphere, replies to user…filter by user
Twitterholic - top 100 Twitterers based on followers.
TwitterPoster - similar to Twitterholic
Twits like me - similar people.
Twitterment - wordbursts, trends, search…see more search and wordbursts.

Gridjit - a layout view for a Twitter user rather than a stream, this should really be an available alternate view on the Twitter website.
