Hey folks, another Sunday Roundup from a few suggestions made through the contact form for Twitter related sites and tools to check out. You may or may not be familiar with these, but each week I’m trying to feature three of the dozens that come in. – Lara
- Pair your Twitter account with your favorite IM client (Yahoo, Windows/MSN, or Google Talk) with Twip.me (requires username and password for Twitter’s API). Uses simple calls to send your tweets to “twipme” and have them post to your Twitter status, @replies, or direct messages.
- Chirbit aims to take “microblogging” to the next level with “micro-podcasting” where you can record short blips of audio, much like you would a 140-character tweet.
- Tweetcloud’s goal is to quickly show users “what’s being said” across the Twittersphere or from a specific Twitter user through an intuitive interface (a cloud). Useful for searching #hashtags or by username and topic.

Thanks for the roundup (and the useful tips in general).
Just a comment on point 3: Tweetcloud’s goal is to quickly show users “what’s being said” across the Twittersphere or from a specific Twitter user through an intuitive interface (a cloud). Useful for searching #hashtags…
While it is true that Tweetcloud is very useful to show “what’s being said”, it is not suitable to search for what has been said long(er) ago. This is also true for twittersearch.
To search for older hashtags one can still use http://hashtags.org/tag/….

Tweetcloud seems pretty cool. Makes it really easy to see what is happening at the moment. I’m going to try out the IM client trick and see how it works.
@josephgelb
These are excellent resources for twitter. I am especially fond of the tweet cloud!
@nurainiffah
I have known of the Twitter client at MSN not so long before now, but, I find TweetCloud okay. I just don’t like TC. Oh, and, I am trying out ChirBit.
How is it for you?
