Twitter- applications and search

Well, this blog was supposed to be a review of a bunch of Twitter applications, but I found most of them to be complicated, annoying, or wouldn’t work on my phone anyway. Out of the list that I tried, the two sites/apps that I preferred were search.twitter.com and Twitter Answers.

You can search what’s going on in Twitter at Search.twitter.com. They have a list of the most tweeted items (real-time) or you can search whatever you want and it’ll pull up all relevant tweets (like google search, but in twitter only). It’s very useful and easy to use.

Then there’s Twitter Answers. You text any random question you have to Mosio (a mobile community) and other Mosio members answer it. You can answer questions to. I signed up and linked it to my Twitter & Facebook account, so if I text a question it’ll post to Mosio, Twitter, and Facebook at the same time. I got my first answer within a few minutes.

Here’s a list of other Twitter Applications that I didn’t have as much luck with… but maybe you will anyway (figure anything out, would love to hear how):
ceTwit is a windows mobile twitter client. Here’s review/instructions of this application.
GPS Twit is an application that you can run on your phone to make it easy for your friends to find you.
Quakk is an Open Source Windows Mobile Twitter Application Twitter client.
TwitToday adds a textbox to the Today screen of your PDS (Windows Mobile 5/6 touchscreen). To send a 'tweet', fill your text into the text box and hit 'OK'. Tap on the twitter icon to launch the mobile Twitter website and read your friend's updates.
