Here are some of the most popular Twitter apps and tools. I love my twitter. I like twitter because I can keep in touch with all my friends and family all at once and I don’t have to send out 10 text messages a day, I can send out one or two twitter posts and I’m good to go. ) Everyone who says I never call them or write them has now heard from me and everyone is happy…including me. I Love it. Here’s a whole list of Mobile Twitter apps..@ Mashable.com

h1 Twit Bin

Why go to Twitter when Twitter can come to you? Twitbin’s a Firefox extension that nestles all your friends’ tweets into a sidebar. It’s configurable too, and the tiny ad at the bottom of the sidebar is something I can live with. BTW, it works just as well in Flock.





h1 TwittyTunes

If you want to share what you’re listening to with the ease of Twitter, this is the browser plugin for you. It’s a sibling of the popular FoxyTunes extension, and supports dozens of players. So if you’re signed in to your Last.fm player, Twitty Tunes will let your Twitter friends know what you’re listening to. There’s even a social network devoted to the most recent TwittyTunes shout-outs, called Foxy Tunes Twitter DJ.

h1 Twitterment

This one appeals to the statisticians and the buzz crawlers. This charts the ‘zeitgeist’ of what’s being Tweeted about across the globe. You can even see comparisons of one key phrase versus another, and what day of the week key terms pop up most frequently. For instance, here’s one that compares beer and sex. Not surprisingly, beer starts getting popular around Friday.

h1 Flotzam

Flotzam started life as Flitterbook, a showcase mash-up of Flickr, Facebook and Twitter data - developed by Karsten Januszewski and Tim Aidlin for MIX07. It’s available only to PC users as a downloadable .exe or as a screensaver, but it’s well worth having a nose around. For Mac OS X users, check out some of the dashboard widgets collected in the Twitter Fan Wiki.

h1 GPS Twit - update Twitter with your location for iPhone and Windows Mobile.

h1 Twitter-Sync (Yahoo Messenger Plugin) - Keeps your Yahoo! Messenger status and Twitter in synchronization. Update your Yahoo! Status to create a new tweet. Your new tweets update your Yahoo! status. Also keeps track of your twitter friends from the main messenger window with alerts, pop-ups + more…

h1 Twit4Live — A Messenger Plus! Live Script that adds twitter interaction to Windows Live Messenger

h1 Twitter Desktop - A How-To for making TwitterVision your desktop background, watch live tweets while working.(not an app)

    Google revealed a beta version of Lively this summer which is one of its Google Labs projects, and the company alleges it’s only about 20% complete. It’s kinda similar to Second Life, but labeled as a “Chat Experience”.

    You create an avatar and chat with your friends in rooms you design.

    Me and my friend Chris tried Lively together for the first time recently and we both had a good laugh. There are public chat rooms that other people have created or you can design your own rooms, invite your friends over to chat. When you build your own room you can customize it by adding furniture, streaming videos, music and personal photos.  You can also add your room to your web site using an embed code (click here to enter my chat room).
    Google Lively needs to be downloaded to your PC, it requires Windows Vista/XP, Internet Explorer or Firefox. The Lively .exe is pretty small, it’s only 468kb.
    If you wanna see what it looks like before you download it..(watch the Youtube Lively video)
    You can make your avatar perform different animations — like laugh, dance and shout,  and you can also interact with other people in the room by slapping, hugging or body slamming them. These animations alone make Lively worth seeing.
    Lively is alright, it’s not amazing yet but if you take into consideration that it’s 20% done and it’s likely to improve with time it isn’t not so bad and it’s pretty fun. This is Google after all.
    Download - Google Lively (how to install)
    You might need to take a look at the Lively - Getting Started FAQ or at least I did. )
    Add me to your contact list on Lively - my username is ms_ibdreamy and when I do get on I’ll make sure to come say hello. )

    ShoZu app for Iphone

    ShoZu_iPhone

    There are several media-pushing services represented at the opening of the iTunes App Store, each with their own combination of supported sites. ShoZu (covered here) remains the whopper of them all with support for roughly 30 popular social sites and services. There are the major players, of course–Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Photobucket, Blogger, Picasa, LiveJournal–but ShoZu isn’t too high and mighty to upload text and images to some of the more niche guys, like Box.Net qipit, Snapfish, and SmugMug.

    With so many services ready to cram into an app interface, things could get tangled up fast. But they don’t, partly due to the iPhone’s nice big screen and partly due to a structure designed to keep order. Frequent uploaders can automate multiplatform-pushing by going online and adding up to ten child services to be copied each time media is posted to the parent service.





    WordPress also released an app today for your Wordpress hosted or self-hosted Wordpress blog which will let you create and edit posts, will support multiple blogs as well as privacy settings, plus it will let you upload images directly from your camera or library. You can also preview the post in the iPhone’s Safari browser before hitting Publish.

    iTouch+Jailbreaked +iPhone apps = bliss!
