There are many ways to use Twitter. You can use the standard web interface or a desktop Twitter client like twhirl or tweetdeck. And then there is another way, web interfaces which add an extra layer of features not found on the default Twitter site.
Tweetree is one of them. You log into Tweetree just like you would at Twitter.com and use Twitter from there. What are the benefits using Tweetree, you might ask?
- Indented Messages. You can get a better context of what’s going on because you see the posts people are replying to.

Untweeps is a free online tool which helps you to remove inactive Twitter friends, people who have not posted tweets recently. There’s the option of unfollowing users who have not updated 30, 60 or 90 days.
All you need to do is to login (via Twitter Oauth) and then the tool will spit out a page listing all the inactive users (see screenshot below).
After which, select which users you want to unfollow and with a click you’ll mass unfollow all the Twitter users selected. While I don’t see it as burden to have inactive users, you might want to clean up your Twitter list and keep only the active users around. Untweeps works for that purpose.

Fast140 is a really simple online game which tests how fast you can type and compares you to other Twitter users who played it. All you have to do is to type out a random tweet displayed on the screen as fast as you can.
It’s pretty addictive actually and this game is spreading rather quickly within the Twitter community because it automatically sends out a tweet when the user plays his/her first game. Great way to make it go viral.

Evernote is a pretty cool that allows you to save information of just about anything and have it be easily searchable through a web interface.
They’ve recently released a cool feature which integrates Evernote with Twitter, allowing to archive and save any tweets or retweets you want by simply adding @myEN anyway in your tweet.
Great news if you’ve always wanted to save your tweets easily and make them searchable and accessible anytime (instead of just favoriting it on Twitter). Read more about it at this link.

Ever wondered how some bloggers manage to do Twitter polls and neatly place all the replies they receive on their blog? Some used screenshots but some of them were probably using Twickie, a free tool that allows you to export and archive Twitter response threads.
It’s a fast way to put all the replies of your followers in convenient spot on your blog post. See the image above for an example.
