Hey folks, just wanted to make mention of a few suggestions some of you have made through the contact form for Twitter related sites and tools to check out. Many of these I’m sure you probably haven’t heard of yet. We get SO many of these, that I’ll likely be posting some every week. – Lara

I’ve just recently created a new Twitter Application called Listento.fm. You can share both music and video files on Twitter. All you have to do is cut and paste a direct MP3 link or a YouTube/IMEEM link, as well as supplying the name of the artists and the title of the song. Upon doing so, a media page will be created and you can then share it with your followers.
Listento.fm has been featured in these publications:

Nitin from TrialX sent us this:
We have just launched a twitter app to increase information availability of clinical trials. The app is simple, and after our initial testing, looks useful. All you need is to QuTweet (query tweets pronounced cute-tweets) us at TrialX (@trialx), put in the keyword “CT” (for Clinical Trial) followed by your health profile. In about a minute we’ll send you a reply tweet with a tinyurl link to the TrialX page containing matching trials as per your QuTweet. http://search.twitter.com/search?q=trialx
Mark Kolb of Outwit.me sent us these fun games:
I’d like to introduce you to using twitter for entertainment over at www.outwit.me. The site is the nexus of Twitter and games, using tweets to communicate activity and hints.
First, I have developed a collection of tweetable word games. Clues are tweeted to followers to find mystery words and phrases.

@Tweet_Words
@TWord_Chains
@GuessWordAlso we have real-time tweeted confessions via @ConfessToMe.
Finally there are never-ending stories and poems, one line at a time via @StoryTellerMe.
Feel free to check these out and let us (and their respective creators/developers) what you think in our comments!

So now there’ll be games and music on Twitter? Guess this is the evolution of being the most trendy networking gadget around. Predicting the entertainments could foster a better network; ease up the business & formality of certain tweets. Might give it a shot.

Wow–thanks for the heads-up re: Trialx. I gave it a whirl and received a response within 3 minutes. The clinical trials list it sent were reasonably well-targeted to my diagnosis…although I’m ineligible for most of them since I’m stage IV. But the app worked like a charm. I’ll be tweeting it, linking it on my blog and posting the links in the support communities where I’m active.
