While planning to do a screencast for one specific Twitter application, I stumbled upon two others that I found to be pretty handy.  If you’re not a Twitter user, then maybe you should watch my previous screencasts explaining how and why you should use Twitter.  If you are a Twitter user, then first, you should follow me here, and second, check out these three applications:

Monitter allows you to do a real time Twitter search for 3 terms all at the same time.  I know that Twitter search, previously known as Summize, allows you to conduct a pretty accurate search but it doesn’t allow you to search for multiple terms.  It also doesn’t look nearly as cool:

My Tweeple does something that is so simple, but useful.  It allows you to view all of your Twitter friends and see just exactly who is following who.  This probably isn’t going to be useful to people that have a lot of followers (you know who you are!) because most likely you don’t have the time to follow the 50,000 people who adore you.  But, if you have a relatively normal group of followers and you want to see just who’s stopped following you or who has reciprocated your friendship, then My Tweeple is a neat little tool.  It also does a few other things but you have to watch the screencast if you want to find out what those things are:

Twitzu allows you to plan events with your Twitter friends.  All you need to do is enter in your Twitter credentials and add some information about the type of event you want to plan.  This could be for happy hour, a trip to the movies, or even a Twitter meetup.  After your event is created, a tweet will be sent out with a link to your event page where guests can RSVP and see who else is going.  Watch the screencast to see Twitzu in action:

  1. Thanks for the Screencasts, I particularly like the look of My Tweeple :-) Monitter is not so useful for me as I use TweetDeck on my desktop which allows you to do the same thing but for as many keywords as you like, well, more than three, anyway ;-)
