Locomu: A Wholesome Twitter Apps Directory, A guest post by Hemant Sirohi

Locomu is an all inclusive Twitter apps directory that brings all the Twitter apps meandering across the web. The long list of apps include popular names which have world wide acclaim as well as the not so popular names which are both useful and meaningful but are not noticeable to the users.

Searching applications and tools for Twitter is otherwise a very taxing job. One has to go searching the entire web sometimes typing the name of the apps and sometimes the platform it is meant for and the other times when even these don’t help one has to type the specific features they want in the applications. Hopping from one search result to other just in the search of the right one isn’t a very good option as it eats away a lot of time and doesn’t even prove helpful all the time.

Interact with Twitter by email – Tweetymail

tweetymailA lazy weekend post – I do love it when people email me about their new apps and do all the hard work for me, rather than saying ‘Can you tell everyone about my app’ with no description of justification at all :)

Anil sent us this email about Tweetymail:

I would like to share a Twitter app that I created called tweetymail: http://tweetymail.com

Backup your Twitter followers with Tweetake!

The brainchild of Alfred Armstrong and Nikki Pilkington, Tweetake is here to allow you to back-up your followers, people you are following and Tweets with just one click.

Why bother to do this? Many reasons:

  • Twitter may lose followers again like it did in June / July
  • You may change your Twitter name and want to re-follow the people you were following, and contact the people who were following you
  • You may want to refer to a Tweet that you sent more than 90 days ago (the longest twitter keeps Tweets for)

Twitturly dying? Have a heart, Twitter!

According to Twitturly, due to recent changes to Twitter’s API, Twitturly is slowly dying. There’s a plea on their status page for Twitturly users to contact the poeple that can help fix this, namely: @ev">Evan Williams, @biz">Biz Stone, @al3x">Alex Payne, @_evan">Evan Weaver.

The graphic below shows how the number of Tweets Twitturly processes in a day has dropped dramatically since the API changes.
