Roundup : Twitter Teams, Twitter Treats, Twitter Lights, Twitter Soap, Twitter Friends Network Browser

Filed under: tools, roundup

Twitter Teams - similar to hashtags and twmemes as you can tag tweets and have them show up in a tag stream, only this time there is a team based stream. It’s like taking those tweets in a hashtag tag stream that are just from a select bunch of people. Team members get a daily d msg summarizing the team tweets with a link to the team page. Or you can use Twitter to track your teams hash tag.

Twitter Treats - a blog about Twitter templates and design

Twitter Lights - right-click on any page, type in your tweet and it will also send a tinyurl of the page you are on (which displays the highlighted content of the page).

Twitter Soap - similar to the idea of hashtags and twmemes, but mashed up with the micro photo-blogging Moby-picture (which will soon have video and audio like Utterz)…you can auto-tweet every time you post to Moby-picture.
TwitterSoap is about a series of posts or episodes, here’s one called Open Coffee Shop…you have to first create your soap space at Twittersoap.
An episode is simply a photo you upload to Moby-picture, when you do this you include a hash tag eg. #OC1, this creates an entry at Twittersoap for episode 1, and of course also auto-tweets this.
People on Twitter can reply by using this same hashtag eg. #OC1 hmm, makes me want to have a coffee…this tweet will display as a comment under the photo OC1 at Twittersoap.

Now this would be an idea for Twitter, be able to create a hash tag post which appears at a third party site, and then others who reply will have their replies threaded.

eg. #OC1 researching at the cafe

…and a threaded reply would be

eg. @#OC1 I’ll come for a quick visit
