My Essential Twitter Tools

Categories: MicroMediaPosted on April 5th, 2008

Find me at jowyang on Twitter

Many conversations are shifting to Twitter, this post proves it (network with others, by adding those in the comments). Twitter is extensible, and many third-party developers are creating tools around the simple data being exported for a variety of unique applications.

If you’re using Twitter for personal, corporate use, or to manage the brand of a client, you’ll need the right tools to find and engage the discussions.

Here are the tools that I’m using to improve my Twitter experience, note that all of these are using my profile, but you can change to fit your needs.

1) Client: Although I mainly use the browser to see what’s going on (I click on profiles to see what people have said) Twhirl is the most popular client, using adobe air technology. Leave this on your desktop, instead of going to browser, also these clients may be more accurate in seeing who’s replying to you, unlike the browser version.

2) Search: Use Tweetscan (Update: I now use Summize as it can track conversations) to see who’s talking about you, your brand, or a topic you’re interested in. For example, I may not just search on “jowyang” but also on “owyang” as some don’t use the full name.

3) Conversations: Quotably is the top ‘conversation’ tracker, it threads together the discussions that members are having by looking at the replies, interesting to see how conversations spiral into different threads.

4) Aggregation: Friendfeed puts all of our RSS content onto one page, making it easy to see from one glance (rather than going to different properties) and you can even reply from friendfeed to different tools. It’s smarter to organize around people, rather than tools.

5) Tagging Content: For advanced users, you can start to use the hashag “#” to add metadata around any tweet, this becomes more important as we rate and tag content. Here’s a helpful primer. I’m not making much use of this feature –yet.

6) Location Based:
If you live in a particular area, and want to parse out a specific location, this Twitterlocal filter finds tweets based upon a users profile location. If you’ve a local business, this could become useful.

7) Alerts:
(update) Often, people will blog about the conversations that happen in twitter, the conversation shifts back to blogs. As a result, I setup Google Alerts for the phrase @jowyang, I see it appear 3-5 times a week on blogs. Thanks Andrew for the reminder in the comments.

I should add that I check to see who is replying to me from my mobile phone, and sometimes update from mobile phone.

Out of the 6, now 7 tools I listed above, which ones do you use, or are there others you recommend?

  3. Eventtrack is good for temporarily aggregating conversations around a topic item.


  4. A couple passive tools that I’ve found useful:

    Don’t forget a Google Alert for your username. I set one up for @acafourek a few months ago so I can see when my username rather than my real name is referenced in a blog post somewhere out there.

    You can also claim your twitter page on Technorati to monitor who is linking to it from posts.


  5. Thanks, Jeremiah. I’m always learning something new from you! I wasn’t aware of Twitterlocal. I’m going to check it out :)


  6. Andrew

    Good reminder, that’s right, I have “@jowyang” setup for Google alerts. Good tip, I’ll add to list

  8. I second @eef’s suggestion, http://tweetburner.com is a very good tool to track how many people click a link you’ve shared on twitter. Very useful to see what your followers like!


  9. Ugh, please, not hashtags! They’re Ok for one-off purposes (like the Superbowl ad thing), but I really don’t like seeing them inserted in day to day twittering.

    Twitter is a human communication vehicle, regular use of hashtags removes some of the humanity.


  10. I like to check out http://www.twitterverse.com

    It’s a site that pulls words that are tweeted often.

  19. I have compiled a collection of Twitter tools here - http://www.lo-fi-librarian.co.uk/?p=878 - not all of them are useful, but you might find something interesting.


  20. Or can be viewed here - http://twitterapps.wordpress.com/
    My faves include Twitterific, (the essential) Twitterfeed, and the greasemonkey script for GReader.


  21. Jeremiah: Consider this another vote for you to stay away from hashtags. My rationale is over here. Write for people, not databases.


  22. Tweetburner looks cool thanks @eef!

    I have been testing out http://www.digsby.com which is an IM based client. It stores my twitter account, facebook account, myspace account, as many email accounts as I can store, and IM accounts. It has been pretty smooth. I also use twitterbar in the FLOCK browser.

    http://www.titterfeed.com lets you set any blog to feed to twitter so I have found that useful.

    I track @agershenbaum on google and sometimes get alerts though that say my name or screen name is mentioned but I can’t find it on the page anywhere
    usually from technorati.

  32. Tiny Twitter .. for those of us, who don’t have iPhones. :-)


  33. Thanks for including my post on hashtags as part of this impressive list of tools! Glad it can help others as it has for me.

    I think the twitter fan wiki is an excellent resource kit in of itself. http://twitter.pbwiki.com especially the apps section! Invaluable information and links.
    All maintained by hardcore twitter members.

    Pai


  34. @paisono @lo-fi awesome resources!


  35. Great post, I use them all. Everyone doesn’t understand hashtags, glad to see you linked to @Paisano blog url.

    I don’t see http://TweetStats.com on the list. It’s not everything we would like to see for twitter stats but it’s a start.
    http://www.tweetstats.com/graphs/waynesutton

    @waynesutton on twitter


  36. @jowyang - one other service that I use regularly is twittermail.com (tweetscan.com also has a flavor that’s good at catching @’s irrespective of where they appear in the tweet.) Twittermail will email you a list of all tweets referencing your @username.

    Two other interesting tools are http://twemes.com if you do follow hash tags and http://dossy.org/twitter/karma/ (a must for tracking who’s following you and comparing it to who you are following back.)

  44. I’ve actually started to use a combination of #2 (Twitter search) and #4 (FriendFeed).

    You can do a search on terms for FreinedFeed, and get an RSS feed of the results. You pick up more than just Twitter that way. You can include Jaiku, Pownce, new blog posts, Tumblr, sites someone StumbleUpon’d, etc.

  56. Part of the reason that conversation threads on Quotably seem to spiral, is that there isn’t enough information in the packet of a single tweet to identify the specific tweet it’s responding to. So the web site (and clients, and services like Q) go to the quoted timeline and look for the tweet closest in time to the response. But if I reply to one of your messages, but you’ve sent two more since I saw the one and composed my reply, these services associate my reply with the later one, not the one I’m actually replying to.

    Personally, more than most of the features people are clamoring for, I’d like to see messages that are replies able to explicitly refer to the tweet they’re referencing.

    Here’s a post I wrote in case you want to bring Twitter comments to your blog ;)

    http://www.andreavascellari.com/blog/?p=385

    Andrea


  64. Perhaps I’ve spent too much time building pages on the internet instead of playing on the web. Thanks for posting these tools! The tweetburner tool looks cool for internet marketing.


  65. Oh, yeah what about http://alexking.org/projects/wordpress who wrote Twitter Tools for WordPress? anyone use it?


  66. as the first commenter stated: tweetburner.com is da bomb!

  70. Thanks for the Twitter resources Jeremiah. My favorite client for Twitter is Snitter (over Twirl), for two main reasons. First because I can go full screen, and two because when I click on a link it opens a new tab.



  71. Posted by Jeremy on April 6th, 2008 at 7:37 am
  72. I’ve blogged about my experience and use; since the disappearance of terraminds, I use tweetscan, too.

    I find that some individuals drown the conversations, so use RSS extensively (including the RSS feed for my tweetscan for @steveellwood), and for a quick check on my follower/following status I use Twitter Karma


  73. Alex King’s Twitter Tools is great wordpress plugin for blog/twitter integration http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-tools/


  74. I update almost exclusively from my Netvibes page, which I keep open all the time I’m online. I use Tweetscan, especially to find out who’s talking about clients.


  75. for those of you interested, we at http://www.petites-phrases.com have a kind of “open” twitter channel on the right hand top corner.

    We parse all Twitter messages using twitterfeed, then republish the RSS feed. Easy to set up, and quite fun to follow.

    Just add “PP2008″ to your twit’, you’ll appear on our website.

    (if you use the # before PP2008, you’ll also generate stats with Hashtags, but you need to follow @hashtags first on Twitter)

    hope you’ll find it interesting

    @petitesphrases


  76. Coming from the expert, will have to use more often. Don’t forget about Twitterlights…new feature from i-Lighter.

  78. TweetScan is an absolutely essential tool, which helps you find tweets in which your handle may be somewhere in the middle. For example:

    “@oemperor you should read that post by @jowyang”

    TweetScan was down for a few hours on Saturday, and that was almost as bad as losing Twitter itself.

    While I’m a fan of FriendFeed, I don’t know that I’d classify it as a “Twitter tool,” since it aggregates so many things. But it’s a good tool nonetheless.

  121. Twhirl (http://www.twhirl.org/) is a useful tool for sure. Especially if you are managing multiple twitter accounts, or if you want to monitor twitter, plurk, identi.ca and friendfeed accounts all in one place.

    I have 3 that I update regularly, as I really try not to mix a bunch of mindless personal crap into my twitter feed. I also try to un-follow folks that are disrupting my day with the same kinda crap.

    TweetDeck (http://www.tweetdeck.com/), however is taking it over for me. It’s SO useful in fact, that I am using it to manage my main account, and have twhirl open to manage/monitor the other two accounts that I update less frequently.

  150. Thanks for posting such a wonderful source of Twitter information. Twitter has become quite a social media tool, hasn’t it? I recently wrote a blog about Twitter on the internet, What the Tweet?. When you get a chance, please stop by and read it. I would appreciate any comments you have to offer on OceanZealot’s Ramblings


  151. that is some good information. I think it is important new users or people that are wanting massive followers can use the same tools upcoming signed recording artist are using. I found 3 links that a new recording artist is using and people say will have over a million followers soon!
    If you are wanting over a million I suggest you get on board with them before they get banned!
