7 Useful Twitter Tools
To say that Twitter is popular and lots of people use it, would be a massive understatement. But the more popular a web service becomes, the more people you have wishing it could do more. Thankfully, there are some of these people that are willing to act on their wishes and build tools to enable this “missing” functionality and help make a service like Twitter even better. Here are 7 of these tools that will help you do more with Twitter.
TwileShare
TwileShare is a free service that allows you to share files on Twitter. Supported file types include: PNG, GIF, JPG, DOC or PDF.
dlvr.it
dlvr.it provides bloggers, publishers and brands a way to instantly syndicate content directly to twitter.
Nurph
Nurph gives users an easy way to extend conversations by chatting in real-time with your Twitter friends and giving followers the ability to watch.
The Archivist
The Archivist is a service that uses the Twitter Search API to find and archive tweets, and displays visualizations to help you understand trends such as the number of Tweets over time, top users and words, sentiment, and more.
Qwerly
Qwerly is a whois for Twitter. For every Twitter user that is looked up , it generates a simple profile with links to that person’s other profiles on sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, Last.fm, Delicious and many, many more. This helps people discover where their friends and other interesting people hang out online.

April 17, 2011Nice, I’m gonna give buffer a try. Nothing annoys me more then an endless list of tweets within short periods of time, guess I better refrain from doing it myself aswell.
