I previously posted on Twitterlocal, where you can get a stream of tweets from people around a location.
Now they have a new leaderboard feature on the sidebar which lists the top tweeters in that stream…they also have a top cities leaderboard list.

Roundup : Summize, Twitterspy, Twitter Presenter, Twit Plus, 24 o’clocks,

Filed under: tools, roundup

Summize - yet another Twitter search engine, this one is super fast. You can tweet the result page, it as a feed, and filter by language.
You can even reply to each tweet, and it also show conversations “quotably” style.
The options have more:
- find tweets from user
- find tweets to user
- find tweets referencing user
- find tweets containing a tag (hash tags)
- find tweets with “attitude”

Twitterspy - Twitter in real-time
[via m]

Twitter Presenter - go through your latest tweets as a slideshow
Tony Hirst has run with this idea and made a slideshow presenter based on an RSS feed, it’s called FeedShow. Just whack in an RSS feed from your blog, Twitter, deli.cio.us, etc…for a slideshow view.
BTW, Diigo’s Webslides (social bookmarks) enables you to view a slideshow of your bookmarks.

Twit Plus - tweet public or direct, pictures, videos and files to Twitter…they have a lot coming soon. I’d like to use my phone email to email pictures just like I do on Twitxr, video would be great, and what about audio.

24 o’clocks - see your tweets (or with your friends) as a timeline…something I was looking for over a year ago.

Roundup : DailyTwitter, ReporTwitters, gtFtr, ili.st, RetweetMe

Filed under: tools, roundup

DailyTwitter - the idea is to take location based tweets and display them in a newspaper layout, just like FeedJournal…still a work in progress.

ReporTwitters - twitter for journalists

gtFtr - tweet your exercise activity…this one could go together with Tweet What You Eat

ili.st - similar to the TwitterNotes idea but for creating a list.

RetweetMe - much like Twitter Timer…follow retweetme, send an @ reply and you will receive a direct message as a reminder. The format is when; what
eg.
@retweetme at 10pm; watch the daily show
@retweetme on December 20th at 6pm; pick up Anna at the airport
@retweetme in 24 hours; finish the first season of 24

direct messages coming soon (rather then sending an @ reply)
re-ocurring reminders coming soon

Roundup : twaction, Twhither, Tipr, TwitLinks, Twitter Troll

Filed under: tools, roundup

twaction - similar to Superpoke in Facebook…to perform an action the basic command is:
@twaction @recipient [action] [message]
Here are a list of actions.

Twhither - Tweet @twhither with simple location (something Google Maps knows) and let your friends know! You’ll show up on the map at www.twhither.com.

Tipr - bot tipping calc
Follow tipr
d tipr 10.25@20
This will calculate a 20% tip on a $10.25 check

TwitLinks - from a selection of tech people on Twitter it grabs tweets that have links in them, and creates a type of memetracker, similar to TechMeme (without the clustering of similar items)…also check out TweetMeme, and alphaTwitter.

Twitter Troll - yet another Twitter search engine

If you want to know where I get my latest Twitter tools, it’s via twtooltrack

Roundup : TwitterWho, TwitsLikeMe, SnapTweet, TwittNot, TweetDumpr

Filed under: tools, roundup

TwitterWho - type in an email address or name (one entry per line) and it will fetch you results.

Twitter IM command only allows you to type in a name you already know eg. Whois elsua
But the whole point is I may know someone’s full name but I can’t remember their Twitter user name…I want a command like this eg Finduser Luis Suarez.

At the moment you have to go to your Twitter account and click on view all Friends and right down the bottom is a search box to search name or location, here are some examples:
Suarez
Luis Suarez
Perth
Perth, Australia
Perth, Western Australia
BTW, see Twitterlocal and more to discover users in a given location.

TwitsLikeMe - recommends users based on similar tweets as you, also see Twubble.

SnapTweet - send your lastest Flickr photo to Twitter

TwittNot - collects tweets that answer the question “what are you not doing”, just send #not in your tweets

TweetDumpr - export your entire Twitter timeline to a CSV file, readable by any spreadsheet application

Roundup : Twubble, GroupTweet, Ambient Avatars, Twitterfox, Twitterlocal

Filed under: tools, roundup

Twubble - recommends Twitter users to follow, it generates a list of users displaying which people you already follow are subscribed to these users.

GroupTweet - send a private message blast to a group of people.
You have to create a new Twitter account, tell all members to “follow” the new account, then any member can direct message that account, which in turn will be sent as a direct message to all members.
If you want a more on-the-flly tool, something where your blast message is a one off thing, try Twitter Groups.

Ambient Avatars - follow @chinposin on Twitter and they will store a timeline of your avatars.
[via /message]

Twitterfox - get a stream of updates (recent, replies, messages) and publish tweets from a browser extension near your system tray

Twitterlocal - get a stream of tweets from people around a location (enter a city, state, or postcode), here’s one for where I live in Perth - “6000″ “20 miles” - it gives you a webpage, RSS feed, XML, and offers a desktop app…others are TwitterWhere, another TwitterWhere, and @locals.

Roundup : Comtwit, TweetPeek, Twitpic, TweetBurner, TweetClouds

Filed under: tools, roundup

Comtwit - posting to Twitter from the command line

TweetPeek - create a Twitter stream from a selection of users, basically a group Twitter feed. You get your own URL people can visit to see the latest tweets from a bunch of people. There is also a page listing the contributors, RSS, and a widget.

Twitpic - similar to Visual Twitter and Tw3t, where you upload photo’s to Twitpic and it creates an auto-tweet, that points back to Twitpic…nothing beats Twitxr.

TweetBurner - A Twitter URL shortner that also enables you to post the tweet on one-click. The page tracks most popular tweets using this service.

TweetClouds- generates a tag cloud for a Twitter user ranked by frequency, similar services are TagCrowd, Tagurself, MakeCloud, and ManyEyes…more here.

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
