Twibes: Recommend Twitter Users to Follow

tweeterism — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 08:10:56 +0000

Twibes helps you to recommend people you follow on Twitter to your Twitter followers. By logging in, you can pick and choose 5 names by clicking on their avatars or type in their full username. After which, Twibes will allow you to send an update to your Twitter account with one click. Your followers will then see your recommendations and they can head to Twibes to check out more.

This is nice but a little redundant because you can do this manually without accessing the Twibes interface. Maybe it will be helpful to actually see the avatars but I don’t think its really that essential. There is however a social element to Twibes, you can start your own Twitter groups and then get people to join them.

Again, not much point when there aren’t many features that allow you to directly interact with your fellow group members through Twibes itself. The ability to send a message to all members in the same group would be fantastic but this is something lacking as well. If this is added in, the groups would be useful but right now, I would just give it a past.

All in all, a simple tool for you to recommend people to follow on Twitter. Try it only if you’re too lazy to look through your follow list and can’t remember who’s interesting.

Twitter Mosiac – Create a Collage of Your Twitter Friends

Twitter Mosiac is a mashup that allows you to create a collage of all your Twitter friends or followers… and then put them on a cup, t shirt, card, bag, mousepad with a click of a button. Yes, physical products you can actually touch. But it’s not free: You’ll have to pay for the actual finished product. For example, a mug costs $12.95.

If you’re not into that, you can grab the mosiac for your Twitter friends and put it on your blog as well. Just beware that if you have a lot of friends of followers, your collage will be pretty huge.

Twisten.fm Helps You Discover New Music with Twitter

Twisten.fm is a site that crawls through Twitter to discover tweets about music. It then streams them onto the frontpage and includes a ‘play’ button so you can easily click to listen to the song mentioned. Alternatively, you can click on the title of the song (a tinysong link) and it’ll open in Grooveshark, another music streaming service thats run by the guys who did Twisten.

If you already have a Twitter account you should be able to see your profile on Twisten, even if you haven’t shared anything yet. Each profile only collects your music tweets. The service appears to have recently launched and its a good idea although I would love to see more features.

One of which is an individual comment page for each twisten link and auto-streaming/refresh on the frontpage. Perhaps also a ’save to favorites’ and playlist/autoplay feature would also be terrific, since right now you can only listen to one song at a time (which isn’t great for song tasters).

They definitely need a search function too. Anything which collects data and showcases it should have search abilities. Anyway, go try it. You might find some great new bands!
