10 Free Must Have Twitter Tools
November 9th, 2008
I’ve really been getting in to Twitter lately. I was on there for awhile but not much was going on. Then as soon as I started getting a bit of following, things started to get more interesting. Now it rivals Facebook for my favorite Social Media website. Anyhow, I’ve put together a list of Twitter tools I’ve come across recently. Some are really useful, some maybe not so much but they are entertaining. Please take a look.
Twitter Grader
This is my favorite one! It is brought to you by hubspot.com, the same company that offers the excellent Website Grader free service. Basically it ranks the effectiveness of your Twitter profile based on a number of variables like followers and post frequency. I’m the #2 Tweeter in North Vancouver! I need to catch up to the other dude in front of me so I can rule my hometown.
Find out your grade at twitter.grader.com
Twitter Search
This tool has been really useful lately since Twitter’s internal search has been done for what feels like forever.
search.twitter.com
TwitDir
This is a great little tool for looking up people and profiles on Twitter.

Follow Cost
Follow cost is a funny little service that let’s you see the cost of following a person. For example, if you are considering following a new person, you can put in their username and it will tell you how many updates they average a day – aka – their follow cost. Not that useful but kind of entertaining.

Current To Twitter
This is a handy little script that automatically tweets the songs you are playing on iTunes. I thought it was a pretty cool but some of my followers complained about too many updates. One note, I had to install it twice to get it to work.
