Lately, it seems like
everyone is a
Twitter addict. So, I decided to make a list of
Twitter related sites, desktop & mobile applications & browser extensions. If you don’t already have an account on
Twitter, I suggest you get one ASAP since it seems to be taking over the Web. Of course, since many Twitter related sites & applications are popping up on a daily basis, this list will probably be outdated by tomorrow night! So, obviously I couldn’t get every single site/app/extension on this list, but It’s a good start. For those who don’t know,
Twitter is a “social networking and microblogging service utilizing instant messaging, SMS or a web interface.”
I spent about 5 days researching & creating this list so, I hope you all can make great use of it! If you see something I left out & you feel it should be on this list, please leave it in a comment (I left out blog plugins on purpose).
