Twitter Mashups

July 2nd, 2009 Posted by Missie at 7:16 pm

These great twitter mashups represent the best and most unique ways that twitter data has been used to create a unique experience. Some of these mashups are more for entertainment and others serve a specific purpose, but each is among the best of the best.

Twitter Via Email

EmailTwitter is a simple twitter gateway that allows you to send updates via email. This is useful because it allows you to send updates via SMS without incurring the usual fees. A very nice feature. 

Send Emails from Twitter

So you can Twitter via email so of course the reverse must be possible right? Why on earth would you want to send an email from twitter? Because you can! Feed your inner geek with this cool Twitter hack from Lifehack.org.

Use Twitter for Reminders

TwitterTimer is a special user that can send you reminders. Send a direct message in the format “d timer <mins> <message>” for example “d timer 30 check tweeterland blog” and in 30 minutes time it will send you a message to check my blog

Note Taking With Twitter

So you spend far too much time on twitter and an idea pops into your head, what to do? You could fire up Google Notebook or similar, or you could stay right where you are and makes notes from your twitter account to retrieve later. TwitterNotes allows you to make notes, and tag them.

Leave Twitter Voice Messages

Jott is a service that allows you to call a number and leave voice messages that get propagated to various computerised services. Jott Links is an extension that supports include twitter so you can tweet in actual speech, rather than text.

Twitter / SecondLife Mashup

SecondLife is a virtual world which is entirely driven by user created content. Anyway, for the techies amongst you you might be interested in these three twitter apps that have been created. 

Twitter / Outlook Mashup

If you are a frequent user of Microsoft Outlook then you may prefer to access twitter directly within Outlook rather than using a separate client. OutTwit allows you to do just that. Handy if you’re stuck in an office with outlook and no twitter access. 

Twitter / Skype Mashups

If you are a Skype user you can send tweets from your Skype account. See Twitter4Skype. Also, an application called Twype allows you to pull in a twitter feed and use that as your Skype mood.

These are just some of the best twitter mashups out there. We could post for days about the rest, but if you know a great mashup we can include here, add a comment below. Or follow us on twitter @tweeterland and send up a tweet about it!
