Catching your links. This resource apparently lists all of the links that you've tweeted. In theory. I tried it with my name and a few others that I know,but to no avail. I'll stick to packratius I think.
Public timeline. Oh dear. This is Twitter under any other name. Seriously, why would anyone want to try and compete exactly with Twitter? The only thing that I can see that they have going for them is the ability to create groups, which I like. However, when Twitter gets around to adding that function, it's going to be 'goodnight Vienna' for them.
Anyway, they say of themselves: "freelish.us is a microblogging service
based on the Free Software StatusNet tool. If you register for an account,
you can post small (0 chars or less) text notices
about yourself, where you are, what you're doing, or practically
anything you want. You can also subscribe to the notices of your
friends, or other people you're interested in, and follow them on the
Web or in an RSS feed."
I'd love to know how you can post a small text notice that's 0 characters or less though!
Typing capital letters to express my feelings!. OK, this has to be the single most stupid pointless resource that I've looked at this year. You get a little box, you type in what you want to say, and it transfers it to upper case. It'll then tweet it for you. Am I seriously to assume that people don't have access to the shift key? To say nothing of the extent to which a tweet of 140 u/c characters is going to annoy someone.
Blogcastr. This is a bit like CoverItLive, which does the same sort of thing. It lets you blog real time about a subject or event and keeps everything together nice and tidy.
Timely. This little resource will post a tweet at the most appropriate time for you.
It pulls in your past 199 tweets and analyzes them for Retweets (native RTs only).
2 It then plots 24 buckets, 1 for each hour in the day.
3 It then assigns Tweets with RTs to its corresponding time bucket and ignores Tweets without RTs.
4
It then applies the following calculation per time bucket: #
of RTs in this bucket / # of RTs within the sample of 199 tweets.
5 It then determines your optimal time buckets starting with best to worst performing and excludes.
6
Finally we perform some additional filters and qualifying
to aid the user experience and expectations when using Timely, so it's
not just raw buckets.
A smarter Twitter widget.Publitweet is a platform to curate real-time content, and make it more readable, shareable and monetizable. Create a search pattern, person, list, whatever and the widget will collate tweets and display them for you.
ManageFlitter. It's not bad and seems to be pretty accurate. It tells you how many people you follow don't follow you back, those who lack a profile image, inactive, talkative (more than 5 tweets a day), quiet, all followers and you can do a biography search as well. It also tells you how many people have stopped following you using the service.
Howl lets you post links to places like Twitter and Facebook and collate information about the link all in one place. You can do this with Delicious of course, but this looks quite neat. My link blog is here: philbradley's link blog Although to be fair I've not added anything, as I kinda have one already!
GlowDart. It's a streaming service - decide what resources you're interested in and it'll just stream a flood of data at you. Great for second monitors etc. Can log in with Facebook or Twitter, but can't see how you can turn this into a proper Twitter fountain, as you don't seem to be able to search - just choose streams. Available are Youtube, Hulu, Twitter, CNN, BBC, Google news etc, so a fair view + some others as well.
