Twitter services seem to pop up on a daily basis now. There are so many of them there. There are websites thriving on just keeping up a list of Twitter services. Go figure. This week we learned of three services that were more than just a little amusing. Check em out and let us know which one we missed:
140it
140it shrinks your Twitter messages down to 140 characters by:
- Reducing words, removing extra spaces
- Shrinking URL’s with bit.ly
- Exchanging company names with their StockTwits symbol
It also provides you with a ‘click and drag’ button for your browser toolbar, so that you can shrink your tweets directly from Twitter
Twitter Mosaic
Twitter Mosaic generates a mosaic of your Twitter Followers,
You can create your own Mosaic here
TwitterSheep
TwitterSheep creates a colorful tag cloud of the bio profiles of your followers. You can also enter search terms to see a word cloud of what people are talking about. This is a word cloud generated for the search term ‘the next web’.
Oh yes, you can even tweet your search :)
I like tweetsheep but it would better if it could use the last x tweets of each of your friends on top of their bio.
In the same vein than tweetsheep there is also http://tweetag.com
It shows a tagcloud of the most popular topics among all public tweets.
Each tag is clickable and allows you to browse through topics and subtopics.
Cool additional feature of Twitter Mosaic is being able to order a T-shirt with 100 friends or followers on it, and your twitter name as the main title.
A must if you are attending the forthcoming @twestival events anywhere, I’d say.
I like the Mosaic one, will definitely give it a shot.
