Ok I know this is a long shot, with 600+ apps, but we just finished one that I think is totally different from the rest! Maybe a bit old school… printyourtwitter.com. Why?
• Snailmail tweets to your grandparents to give them an update of your life.
• Use the funny anecdotes you twittered about your kids on their wedding day (in 15 years).
• Make your tweets and twitpics into a travel journal of your trip around the world.

Hi Ernst-Jan,

MrMovieTV is a twitterbot, developed for Twitter users that do not use MSN Live Messenger (With about 100.000 contacts MrMovie’s main ‘channel’). We offer certain information and make it available for as many relevant channels as possible.

As MrMovieTV is a bot, it won’t tell you any personal information, but please feel free to add me to your twitterlist to see what we do in real life: http://www.twitter.com/mvdkooi ;-)

My first reaction after reading your post was: “Totally agree with this ‘beg’ for new substantial value-added TwitterWebApps in stead of apps that can be ‘created/built’ with existing services like Yahoo Pipes.”

On second thoughts on the other hand I think it is good that people develop Apps while solutions already are available. Maybe their solution is better, faster, more user-friendly, or inspire other developers to ‘the next thing’ you re asking and waiting for. :-)
