Twitter dee, Twitter dum, a roundup of Twitter apps for Twitterholics
Posted on August 15th, 2008 by David
Twitter envy? Twitter anxious? Twitter angry? Twitter passionate? Twitter excites a lot of emotion, especially among software application developers and Web service providers who have jumped on board the Twitter bandwagon. I thought I should do a roundup of these applications and services, starting with this interesting utility:
- Tweet Tweet for WordPress plugin “that will archive your tweets, and the tweets of everyone you follow, plus replies you receive from strangers, and direct messages too. All these tweets will be stored safely in your database.”
- Twitter Tools for WordPress plugin “creates an integration between your WordPress blog and your Twitter account. Pull your tweets into your blog and create new tweets on blog posts and from within WordPress.”
- Twiddict will store your tweets whenever the Twitter service is down and then broadcast them once the service is back.
- As you might expect, there are a couple of applications called Twitterlicious. These are in Google ranking order. The first Twitterlicious from Ejectutive.co.uk calls itself a free Windows application, basically a client for posting to your Twitter account from within Windows. The second Twitterlicious from Twitterlicious.com is a mashup of the social bookmarking sites Del.icio.us and Ma.gnolia.com.
- Twhirl is “a desktop client for social software such as Twitter, Friendfeed, identi.ca, or seesmic” and runs on Windows and Mac OSX.
- TwitterFox is a Mozilla Firefox Web browser extension for Twitter.
- And for you Twitterholics there are dozens more Twitter multiplatform desktop and Web apps and widgets listed and described at the Twitter Fan Wiki and the official Twitter Downloads page .
