September 11th, 2009

For those of you twitter addicts out there who need to know what’s trending on Twitter, there’s a cool Twitter Hack that will update the latest trending topics on a small LCD screen.  This isn’t that hard to implement it looks like, check it out here.

The #twatch connects directly to Twitter and scrolls the latest trending topics and related tweets on an LCD screen. It’s a stand-alone network appliance that stays updated without a PC. It was awesome to watch #iranelection, Michael Jackson, and other historic events scroll by while we developed the #twatch.

Twitter #hashtags Trend Tracking – #hashtags!

April 25th, 2009

#hashtags is another cool Twitter Trend tracking app that lets you track and graph your favorite hashtags. (Hashtags are any words that begin with the pound(#) symbol)

This would be very useful for tracking which hashtags Twitters have been using the most in the last month or so.

You can also subscribe to your favorite hashtag trends via RSS, another cool feature for tracking your online brand.

Geo-Location Twitter Trend Tracking – Monitter!

Monitter is another really cool Twitter Trend tracking tool that lets you only track a specified location such as 10 miles within San Francisco.

I find this very helpful in finding other new Twitters that might live close to me.

For example, if I am a local plumber, I might want to utilize this tool to network with all the plumbers within 25 mile range of San Francisco.

Long Term Twitter Trend Tracking – Twopular!

April 25th, 2009

Twopular is another cool Twitter Trend tracking site that let’s you see which terms have been popular on Twitter in the last 2 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours, week, month, and total-ever.  I find Twopular very helpful in analyzing what has happened in the past.  For example, in the last 30 days, we can see that Easter, Earth Hour, and Oprah were pretty darn popular.

Twopular started as a pure “let’s surf a bit on the twitter wave” project. And actually, this status hasn’t really changed yet and I am still not sure what’s the real use of it. Maybe its all about amusing people by listing them as top trendsetter – not too bad. In any case for now I will keep the elephant running, hope he makes some friends out there and he will let me know one day where he wants to go.

Twitter Trend Tracking – Twist

April 25th, 2009

Twist is another great app for tracking Twitter trends via friendly graphs that will sorta tell you when Twitters are twittering about a certain topic the most during a period of 7 days or 30 days.

I personally found that Twist is great for tracking “major” Twitter trends, it’s not too helpful if you run a small-business or you need detailed graphs on your niche brand.

This is a great way to predict which Twitter trends will become popular in the next week so I think it will be very useful especially on holidays when people might tend to buy stuff for their loved ones. (Internet Marketing tip)
