More Twitter Tools

There has been a health dose of posts about Twitter on View from West 6th. One of the things I find so fascinating is that so many companies using Twitter and the 752% growth the property experienced in 2008.

Part of the power of Twitter is the ability for programmers to use the Twitter API and the company's Wikipedia for it to develop other tools. There are so many tools, that Mashable gave up counting and just calls it 140+ tools.

Here are a couple more that I stumbled upon today:

  1. Flickr Backgrounds for Twitter
  2. Pop up messages for the Twitter homepage
  3. Outwit - integrating Twitter with Outlook
  4. Secret Tweet - for when you need to post anonymously
  5. Tweet Later - schedule when you want tweets to be published

You can also check out Mashable's entire list of Twitter tools to see if there is a tool that fits you tweeting needs.
