Roundup : TweetSpeak, Twitter Packs, Twittershare, Tweet What You Eat, Twixtr

TweetSpeak - listen to tweets (mac only), an alternative is to use an RSS to audio service like Talkr, feed2podcast, Botcast, odiogo, xFruits, etc…

Twitter Packs - a directory of Twitter users by topic, location, company…try autopacks to follow a bunch of people in one go.

Twittershare - a desktop widget where you drag a file (max 10 megs), type your tweet (direct, reply, or regular) and send…look out Pownce
Also see Tweetafile. [via RRW]

Tweet What You Eat - a food diet diary that asks “what did you eat today”.
Follow the user twye, when you want to document something you eat send a direct message and this gets stored in your diary at the TWYE site.
eg.
d twye yogurt cup
d twye Diet Coke:40 (a number after the colon refers to calories)
d twye 2 beers, cheese burger, fries (comma’s separate enable to enter multiple items)

Here’s my diary - you get search, a feed, stats, etc…

Twixtr - this is a photo blog, but it’s also similar to Twitter as you have followers and following. You can view a public and a local timeline, and a friendmap. A new update is simple, just enter some text, a location, and a photo. You also can get it to automatically post to Twitter and Facebook. For other simple photo blogs check out Tumblr, NowThen, Utterz and more. Now if I could post by email or mobile web, I’d be happy. Come to think of it Twixtr is very very similar to Tumblr.

This got me thinking, I’d like to see a blog option for a lot of the bookmarking type services eg. YouTube, Flickr, del.icio.us, etc… These services enable you to collect stuff, when bookmarking for example an item to Flickr why not have the option to send it to your Flickr blog.
