Four New Twitter Tools

Yesterday, I mentioned that the applications built on top of Twitter are the life of Twitter. Today, I have four new Twitter tools to tell you about.

The first one, TwitterFone, provides a number that you call and it turns your voice message into text. It is still in beta and I have signed up to test it. If it is as simple as it looks, it will be the easiest way for people who are not surgically attached to their computer to update their status on Twitter and (if you set it up) on every other social network out there, including arch-rival FaceBook.

The second is called TweetPromote. Seems like a strange name to me, but I guess eventually you run-out of good names. Anyway, this is the best and easiest to use site I have found yet to discover who is following you that you have not gotten around to following back… and vice versa. It gives you lots of info about your followers too.

The third is Hootsuite. HootSuite is a full feature Twitter user interface. It handles multiple accounts, puts your followers in groups, and makes RT’s easy. The only thing it does not do, that TweetDeck and maybe others do, is work with FaceBook. Not a fatal short coming, but it sure would be nice if they added that.

The fourth Twitter User Interface certainly cannot be called a tool but it is still fun. 140Army is a web-based game that uses your Twitter account for verification and post updates on your progress. If you have a few minutes, and want to try it, please click on this link so that we can be partners in the game. http://140army.com/invite/direct_link?uid=1000158685. This really is just the tip of the iceburg of what is possible for games using Twitter, but it is a really cool first step.

What Twitter tools do you find most helpful/fun?
