Monitter - a Twitter search engine that shows results from three searches in three columns, it has a widget for your blog sidebar, and also limits searches within a km radius.

Roomatic - a Twitter chatroom, join a room and enter a tweet, it will automatically live in this room. If you don’t include the word of the room in your tweet it will add it for you with a hashtag.
If you are participating via Twitter your tweet will only appear in the room if it has the term in the tweet that the room is based on eg. Gmail.
It’s like you are on a Twitter keyword search results page that auto-refreshes and you can tweet into that page.

Roundup : Mloovi, MyTextFile, Rejaw, Kwippy, IM Feeds

Filed under: tools, roundup

Mloovi - Translate any RSS feed…I’ve been waiting for something like this since NativeText.
What I’d like to see is a button on my blog that takes people to a page filled with about 10 translated feeds, or from a widget on my blog people could use a drop down to create a feed on the spot.
[via RWW]

MyTextFile - a no frills online text editor made for Google. I may find this handy, as I once used the text editor feature on Blummy quite a lot. But Ido find myself using Google Sites for this sort of thing.
[via DI]

Rejaw - more microblogging…1000 character posts, with real-time updates…threaded replies
[via RWW]

Kwippy - yet more microblogging

IM Feeds - get RSS alerts via IM like GTalk, also see Anothr, Rasasa, ZapTxt, Feed Crier, and the rest.

Roundup : JogTheWeb, BoostCast, YouFig, Posterous, Protonotes

Filed under: tools, roundup

JogTheWeb - webpage slideshow, also see webslides and TrailFire.

BoostCast - create your own video sharing site, also see Digital Reality.

YouFig - a whitelabel community…there are so many of these sites now, Ning still does it for me.

Posterous - microblogging like Tumblr, mambler and Soup.io

Protonotes - annotate a website with stickynotes, as if there aren’t enough of these, but it does look nifty and collaborative

Roundup : Tinypaste, GeoGraffiti, identi.ca, 12seconds.TV, ScribbleLive

Filed under: tools, roundup

Tinypaste - type in some text and it gives you a URL to host that text…handy for sites like Twitter when you need more than 140 characters…also see ChangeToLink, and ShortText.
Similar are edge feeds like, publi.sh, my.notify, FeedMarklet, ControlCTexty is similar, but as a widget.

GeoGraffiti - like tagging or blogging physical objects, but this time with the use of audio. Also see Whereboutz, MyTago, Placeblogger, outside.in, Socialight, Rrove, and Flagr.

identi.ca - an OpenSource micro-blogging service built on Laconica, see more services.

12seconds.TV - a video based microblogging service…see more.

ScribbleLive - text or blog streaming service similar to CoveritLive (now with Qik)

Roundup : Twadl , AnswerMe, Tweenky, TweetMyPage, TweetParty

Filed under: tools, roundup

Twadl - An alternative place to post to Twitter…preview your tweets, track links (see how many people clicked on the link you posted), attach files (see others)

AnswerMe - ask a question and manage your answers
eg. @answerme Am I missing out on life because I’ve got my head constantly buried in a mobile phone as I walk?
- someone can anwser
eg. @answerme @johnt Just don’t walk into polls?

Follow @answerme to get direct messages of your answers

Tweenky - probably what the Twitter interface will eventually look similar to. You get live refresh like Twitter Spy, you get Twitter Search, and best of all you get folders to organise your Twitter friends. That’s more like it, how often have you wanted to see a stream from just a particular grouping of friends. Reminds me of what MioNews does for FriendFeed.

TweetMyPage - bookmarklet to tweet the page you are on…also see TwitThis.

TweetParty - group friends and blast a direct message…also see GroupTweet and Twitter groups.

Roundup : Twiffid, TwitterFresh, Twitter StreamGraphs, Easy Tweets, Replize

Filed under: tools, roundup

Twiffid - what an awesome idea…“this site automatically detects the feeds of the websites your Twitter friends have listed in their Twitter profiles and presents them to you in a Twitter-like format”…this could make a great RSS Reader alternative…streams are so in vogue.

TwitterFresh - an alternate website for Twitter, this one auto-refreshes your friends timeline every three minutes

Twitter StreamGraphs - a graph from the latest 200 tweets which contain a search word or user ID, if you hover over parts of the graph it will change colour, if you then click it will generate a new graph for that keyword…also see Tweet Clouds.

Here’s my Twitter StreamGraph.

Easy Tweets - Like Matt you can manage multiple Twitter accounts, and like Tweet Later and others you can schedule Tweets for future posting, and like Twitterfeed you can re-syndicate posts from RSS feeds into your stream.

Replize - a dead easy way to search Twitter @replies, but you can just use the new Twitter search anyway, see here.

Roundup : Tweetshots, TweetPaste, Matt, Chirrup, Twebinar

Filed under: tools, roundup

Tweetshots - use a bookmarklet to take a screenshot of a tweet page, and it will generate the embed code, also see TwitterBash.

TweetPaste - get some embed code for a tweet, so you can paste it in your blog post…I find this the easiest so far.

Matt (Multiple Account Twitter Tweeter) - post to multiple Twitter accounts

Chirrup - if you re-syndicate your blog posts to Twitter, any replies made to those tweets can be channeled back to your blog via a widget…people can even tweet directly in the widget. [via RWW]

Twebinar - Twitter mashup with the conference video display…enables tweets before, during, and after a webinar by following twebinar [via /message]

Roundup : Twitabit, Twannabe, Tweet Thread, TwitterBash, TweetMarks

Filed under: tools, roundup

Twitabit - another place to tweet when Twitter is down…also see MyTweeple and Twiddict.

Twannabe - find out who someone is following and you are not…similar is Does Follow, and others.

Tweet Thread - from the makers of Tweet Boards, an on-the-fly Twitter stream…enter user names and get a stream of the latest 20 tweets from each user (even filter by keyword or hashtag). Also see Twitter Digest.

TwitterBash - enter a tweet URL and it will display in the stream, people vote on their favourite tweets…the best thing about this is you can get an embed code for a tweet

TweetMarks - a link bookmark tool for Twitter, once you join you can follow @tweetmarks and direct message this user with a link in your tweet that you want to bookmark…view all your links at TweetMarks.

But that’s just that least of it, you can get this to automatically happen. In the settings check a box and then all your tweets that have a link will appear in your TweetMarks stream.
If you don’t want all tweets with links to appear you can filter this to tweets with a #hashtag, or filter by your retweets from someone else’s tweets.

You can also check a box so all your tweets that appear in TweetMarks are auto-bookmarked in del.icio.us.

You can also search your TweetMarks.

I’d like to be able to filter out keywords.

I’d like to be able to have a similar service where it stores your tweets where you use a #hashtag. Then you can filter your stream via a #hashtag cloud…as I can’t remember all the hashtags I have used in the past.

Maybe this is something for Twemes, I’d like:
- show me tweets from all the people I follow with this #hashtag
- show me a #hashtag cloud of all the people I follow
- show me my #hashtag cloud (and I can click a tag to see all my tweets with that tag)
