Back by popular demand, here is the sequel to the original 14 Tools of Highly Effective Twitter Users. A round up of some of the best tools available for your maximum twitter pleasure!
backtweets
To kick it off, backtweets is a great way to find, track and monitor links that spread on twitter. Check out advanced mode to search specific date ranges and users.
doesfollow
For all of the users that are obsessed over who’s following who: doesfollow will tell you exactly that. Just put in the two users and it plops out if they follow each other or not.
hootsuite
A tool that allows you to manage multiple accounts, schedule tweets, and track success all in one.
MicroPlaza
MicroPlaza is a service that takes all of the common tweets and links from the people you follow and groups them into “tiles” so that you can easily digest the important stories that come across your timeline without having to frantically scan your ever updating twitter feed.
MindMeTo
If you’re not into some of the more robust GTD applications, MindMeTo might be just for you! Just tweet or dm @mindmeto what you need to remember, and at the allotted time, it will send you a dm with the reminder. Simple.
polldaddy
From the popular polldaddy service comes polldaddy for twitter, just put in your question and possible answers and tweet it out!
twickie
Archive a twitter response thread! If you’re like me, conducting business on twitter is a no-brainer. So it’s probably a good idea to have a backup of your communication ey? (Also see tweetake from my last post)
Twitdom
Come one! Come All! A resource for finding twitter applications and tools. That is, er, besides my blog of course..
Twitoria
Shows you which of the people you follow hasn’t tweeted for the longest time so you can boot em!
twittercounter
Don’t lie, we all know we’re all obsessed with our follower counts. This tool shows us a nice little chart of our follower count progress along with projections.
Twitterfall
Twitterfall is a cool way to see popular topics or custom search queries on twitter search that allows you to control display metrics. It also takes the query load on it’s server so your browser doesn’t have to do all the work.
twitterhawk
A targeted marketing tool that helps you find, follow and even tweet people that are talking about things that you are interested. (paid service)
twollo
Find and follow users who are talking about your terms of interest. Much like twitterhawk, but you can’t tweet at people.
URL Shortener
Yeah I know, there are a ton of url shorteners out there, but how kick ass is it to have your own? That way, all your links say your domain in them no matter what. Sweet. Here it is the latest and greatest way to create your own URL Shortener:

Very well done. I’m a huge Tweetdeck fan.
I have done some consulting work with PeopleBrowsr too, but they have a way to go before their tool becomes more friendly. I haven’t tried their AIR app yet, but am installing it as I type. (multi-threading and multi-tasking)
@jmacofearth
Hi Kenny!
Thanks a lot for mentioning MicroPlaza!
These are really some new twitter tools! Didnt know some of them! Good list!
Just tweetin it @DeskAway
Thanks for putting this together. Hootsuite is an excellent tool. It also allows integration with ping.fm. So if you have more than one social site (Facebook, Plurk, identi.ca, etc.) you can post to multiple feeds as well.
Thanks for listing Twitdom.com. We now have in excess of 830 Twitter Apps listed in our database.
