In the  The Twitter Manual -David Risley has a section titled Getting the Most Out of Twitter .

I wonder what are the most popular Twitter tools and utilities.

 

Getting the Most Out of Twitter
So, Twitter is what it is. However, there are a lot of really cool third-party sites out there that take advantage of
Twitter to provide add-on capabilities.


Summize (

www.summize.com )
Summize is a search engine for Twitter. They cal themselves the "conversational search". It is cool because it
allows you to search realtime conversation taking place on Twitter. For example, the big news this week is
Apple's launch of the new Iphone. Twitter is atwitter on this topic, as a quick search for Iphone shows you.

TweetBeep (www.tweetbeep.com)  
Get email alerts whenever somebody tweets about something you're interested in. It is actually allot like Google
Alerts, except for Twitter. Want to be notified if anybody mentions your name, your city or your website on
Twitter? Set up a TweetBeep.


A look at TwitterPoster might remind you of the old days of those million pixel homepages. What it is is a
graphical representation of the most influential Twitter-ers. The larger the image, the more influential the person
right now. Might be a bit useless, but it is cool.

TwitterFeed (www.twitterfeed.com)

If you run a blog or anything else which has an RSS feed, you can use TwitterFeed to automatically fetch the
latest entries from that feed and send them as tweets using your Twitter account. A lot of bloggers, for example,
use this to automatically send out links to new posts over Twitter.
