What’s your Twitemperature?

Twitemperature ignores meaningless points of measure like number of followers and number of people you are following, and instead focuses on what you’re actually saying, now. We poll your last several hundred tweets and score what you’re saying against what everyone else is saying in current hot conversations on Twitter and elsewhere.

How I use Twitter

admin | Twitter Musings | Monday, December 15th, 2008

If you’re reading this, it’s either because you’ve just started following me on Twitter, or you’re thinking of following me on Twitter.

I want to tell you how I use Twitter.

I’m not saying it’s the best way or even that it’s the right way, but it’s the way that I use it and will continue to.

Top 10 List of People to Unfollow on Twitter

admin | Twitter Fun, Twitter News | Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

A great article by Shannon Whitley:

Extract:

Although I can easily think of several individuals I’d like to place on this list, I figured it would be too mean to actually call them out by name (and possibly result in a libel suit).  So the list below contains ten archetypes that I’ve noticed on Twitter.  I’m sure there are many others, so feel free to add your own in the comments section.

1) The Pimp - The pimp is always looking for avenues of self-promotion.  If almost every tweet is a reference to a blog post and even conversations end in links to posts, you’re following The Pimp.
