10 Cool Tools to have Fun with Twitter
| Tweet | Share |
Sometimes, excessive tweeting can get you bored ! Don’t agree? Come on, how long can one listen to all those “how to promote your site” and “How to get rich through Twitter” kinda stories?
Here are ten cool tools that are not the normal boring type. They’ll help you have some fun with Twitter.
1. WP Tweety
Real Time twitter trend tracker to track WordPress related stories. Anything wordpress, would pop up real time as you watch it, really useful for tracking developments and news on WordPress! Why I like it ? Try putting this guy up on your big screen, its nice seeing all those tweets pop up one by one. Cute!
2. TwitterFall
Track the recent trends on Twitter with waterfalls. The most recent tweets related to the trend keeps “falling in” from the top, while you can switch between various trends from the left menu.
3. Trend Cloud
Track Twitter trends in cloud form with (just like the WP tags) and narrowing down your search including interested terms and excluding unwanted terms.
4. Twitree
This one doesn’t track trends as such, but it visualizes your Twitter followers in a tree sort of fashion where from you can do all the functions like re-tweet, reply. Its a fun way to tweet. Clicking on the small plus icons will give you the followers tree structure, its fun !
5. Tweetag
This tool lets you find out all the a) Links and b) Statuses related to particular word. Ex: If you want to track “seo” just type in the word and track either links or statuses. I very often track links using this tool for various topics, it shows me links people have posted related to that topic. Very useful and fun tool.
6. Twitter Mug
This tool lets you create a nice customized mug with all your followers photos printed on it, which optionally you can buy for $14.
7. Twitter Threads
This tool lets you visualize your Twitter conversations in thread format. NO big deal here, neat and cool. Just give in the conversation status number and it will do the rest.
8. Twitter Business Card
Make your fun twitter business card from a range of pre-made templates. You could also use this one for the next barcamp. 
(Oh yea my design sucks, check out their wide range of templates pls)
9. Twitter Portrait
Create a lovely Twitter portrait using all your conversations and tweets and share it with your friends. They’re sure to ask you – “How did you do that ?”
10. Twitter Signature Creator
Create a signature image with your recent tweet for use in forums/emails etc. A cool way to show off your tweets elsewhere other than twitter. Wish they had more fun templates though.

Awesome list! I found some apps here that I don’t list currently at Twitdom.com, where we have over 800 Twitter Apps listed…
thanks for the list.. useful..!
You have some great tools here. I like the follower mug! My favourite has to be number 10 an auto updating signature of your latest tweet excellent. Definately will be tweeting this article.
Nice list. Found some useful sites I didn’t know about here. But your title says 25 cool tools and I only see 10…am I missing something?
Thanks for the heads up Adam, typo corrected now
That are truly great tools, which can save bloggers time for searching trends and also increase presense on twitter. Personally liked the signature tool
Its great twitter ruling
Most of this I liked mug tool
Thanks
Thanks for these tools, Mani. I love the idea of a twitter mug! Maybe I’ll have enough followers (one day) to warrant one.
However, the WordPress gadget looks great as does the portrait, so I’m going to try them out.

Sweet blog. I never know what I am going to come across next. I think you should do more posting as you have some pretty intelligent stuff to say.

all the tools are amazing and look good, but my favourite is still “Hoot-Suite” which suites me pretty well.
I couldn’t make these work! I tried the business card and portrait, is something wrong?
