Today’s Twitter Tools – Tuesday 28 April
Today’s tools are all about finding out what’s hot – and not – right now.
So what are the latest and greatest trends on Twitter? Find out right here. I’ve got 8 great tools today – and I’ve rated them all to save you time.
Find out what’s happening in the world beyond your personal timeline. You can also search for the latest trends on Twitter. Right now they are: Swine Flu, #swineflu, Mexico, #rafw, #therescue, Chuck, Goodnight, Internet World, Wolverine, #nds09. How very random…
Twitterblogger rating: 10/10 (the best Twitter search tool bar none)
Twitscoop
Twitscoop helps you stay on top of twitter’s hot topics or discussions. Twitscoop displays the hottest topics in a Tag Cloud, using the following rule: the hotter, the bigger (no joke here).
Twitterblogger rating: 8/10 (I love how the clouds grow right in front of you)
Tweetscan
Tweet Scan searches Twitter, identi.ca and other Laconica-based sites with more being added all the time. You can search public messages and user profiles with results available via email, RSS, and JSON.
Twitterblogger rating: 7/10 (its main benefit is that it collects and organises search results from Twitter AND lots of other sites)
Twitterment
Searches Twitter users and topics.
Twitterblogger rating: 6/10 (it offers different search results from Twitter Search, but I prefer Twitter Search)
Tweetmeme analyses links that people have “tweeted”, organises and categorises them – and delivers streams of the most popular. You can also discover new content and tweet about it. Each link posted on Twitter adds increments the count on that story. The more tweets a story recieves, the more popular it is.
Twitterblogger rating: 10/10 (brilliant – great for ideas to RT and to really get the latest news in any category you can think of)
Twistori
Find out what twitterers love, hate, believe, think and feel. I’ve reviewed this before and I’m still loving it.
Twitterblogger rating: 9/10 (let curiosity get the better of you)
This tool is pretty much the same thing as Tweetmeme. I prefer the layout of Tweetmeme but this is still a good tool. Comparing the two is actually quite interesting.
Twitterblogger rating: 8/10 (Good, but not as good as Tweetmeme)
GoodBadMe
GoodBad.me is a twitter mashup that keeps track of your good and back deeds. You can compare your good deeds with bad ones or just get a feeling for what kind of evil is going on in the twitterverse.
Twitterblogger rating: 7/10 (it’s a cute little tool for a bit of fun)
Tomorrow’s tools are all about finding out who the top Twitter users are – so you can follow them and find out why they are so damn cool.
Sign up to my blog to get all these great tools delivered to your inbox and you’ll also be in to WIN some fab prizes – ipod shuffle, twitter books…
I’ll be tweeting the WINNERS on 2 May.
