    as always, great list.

    the link to widsets redirects to new ovi store by nokia, a apps and widget online store. some are for free others have to be paid for.

    searching for widsets on the site was unsuccessful.

    Hey André,
    Thanks for the comment, I checked out the ‘Widset’ app and as you said it’s redirecting. I’ve deleted it off the list just so others don’t get confused.
    Cheers, Missie

    I use http://futz.me/site/ to update my twitter status right from my browser’s url field. no software download required. A few tips: make your user name a bit complex as there is no passoword for updates, add the letter ‘t’ after your user name. it should look like this, ‘futz.me/username/t ‘enter text here and possible link’ . hope that helps.

    Nice list. Maybe a future post could cover Twitter apps that allow you to search the ‘Twittersphere’ for information. For example, http://twitterjobfinder.com - which allows you to search for jobs by type and location

    Hello - I am looking for a twitter application that will allow me to display two tweets on a website. I run an Role Playing Game on Twitter, and I would like to feature two tweeters who are conversing with each other as one display so that a reader can see a post and its reply, and I would like to display this conversation on a page in a website. Is there anything like that on Twitter?

    Please reply to gaslight@gaslighthotel.net

    Hi Sharon,
    Have you tried using HootSuite? HootSuite is a free third party twitter application that offers a function called ‘Embeddable Columns’. Here’s a great YouTube video that will explain how this function works and how to add these to your website - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKZHt7ipoP0..

    I’m currently using HootSuite as a trial. It’s great for managing multiple twitter accounts and scheduling tweets amongst other things including the Embeddable Columns function. Let us know how you go, hope this helps you.

    Just noticed that you didn’t add TweetDeck to the list. It’s a great multi-account client. I believe it’s also available on the iPhone.

    Hey Sarah,
    Thanks for the comment. We had TweetDeck on our list, it was living under the ‘Software and Widgets desktop clients’ heading.. I’ve moved it up under the Multi-account client heading. Thanks for the heads up!

    Hey, thanks for the list. I’ve just been spending the last couple of days looking for widgets and what not for twitter, so this is great!

    There is also an app called Tweetie. So far I really like it, check it out.

    This is an excellent list of Twitter applications…

    May I suggest a Twitter search application I recently developed called ‘tweetzi’.

    It offers an alternate way to search the ‘Twittersphere’ and provides special controls for augmenting search queries and ‘playing’ or ‘pausing’ the live result stream.

    This is a great list. It takes a great effort to compile. Twitter’s third parties are dramatically increasing recently. Here come another one: Perkpipe Search (http://www.perkpipe.com). It’s a twitter search engine that allows everyone to search top interesting twitter people, as the way we search relevant web sites on Google & Bing. E.g, you can search seo, for instance. The search result sounds pretty trustworthy.

    There are a ton of good twitter clients being developed right now. Another one I’ve been playing with is TweetMiner. It comes in two flavors - paid and free. The primary purpose of Tweetminer is to help you find relevant content to tweet about - very nice if you are using twitter for more than personal use!
