Twitter + Resources

I’m a newbie to Twitter. I was in social networking overload (well, I still am…) and didn’t want to bother with something new. But as of last week, I’m a convert. It’s fun, and I can definitely see the potential publicity uses for business.

Twitter is a “micro-blogging” tool. You communicate with your Twitter followers with 140-character or less updates — called “tweets.” You post your updates and read your followers’ either via the web or a mobile device.

There are some cool resources for Twitter that I’ve discovered in the past week, including a couple sent to me by my friend and former co-worker Loki:

• Summize - Search Twitter conversations to find people with similar interests.
• Loud Twitter - Automatically send your tweets to your regular blog.
• twitAbit - Queue up your tweets when Twitter is down — which lately seems to be quite often!
• Twitter Feed - Send your regular blog posts to Twitter.
• Twitter Fox - An interface for Twitter via an add-on for Mozilla Firefox.

What are some of your favorite resources for Twitter? What are some of your favorite uses for Twitter, either for your business or from a personal perspective?
