Day 17: Use Twitter Apps

Written on May 18, 2012 in Social Media, Twitter

This is part of the Social Media Spring Cleaning series. Catch up on posts you missed!

I have over 60 apps associated with my Twitter account. 60! As I began to write this post, I went through all of them to delete the ones that I don’t use and categorize the ones that are useful.
Here are a few you might find useful.

7 Useful Twitter Apps

1. UseQuitter allows you to see who stops following you and which tweet caused them to stop following you. Maybe you’re tweeting too much. Maybe you’re complaining or tweeting about personal things too frequently? See if you can identify trends that cause people to stop following you with this app.
2. ifttt but I don’t need to tell you about this because we talked about it on Day 15.

3. Follower Wonk   this app lets you search Twitter bios, measure yourself to competitors, audit & track followers, and find & cultivate key relationships.

4. The Archivist a service that uses the Twitter Search API to find and archive tweets. Use The Archivist to help you understand trends such as the number of Tweets over time, top users and words, sentiment, and more

5. Twellow an online director to show you who to follow in different subject areas. You can also add yourself to a directory for free.

6. UnTweeps helps you unfollow people who don’t tweet frequently

7. Twiends.com another Twitter directory that helps you find people to follow with common interests

8. Tweepi a tool that allows you to unfollow people who haven’t followed you, reciprocate follows and cleanup inactive tweeters
