Gr8 twitter tools part 1








Twitter is number 1 in sharing and had thousounds of tools and applications .



revisit is a real–time visualization of twitter messages (tweets) around a specific topic. You can create your own twitter wall at a conference or an ambient display at your company or whatever use you come up with. In contrast to other twitter stream tools, it provides a sense of the temporal dynamics in the twitter stream, and emphasizes the conversational threads established by retweets and @replies.




Screenr lets you record screencasts of up to 5 minutes in length and stands out because of how easy it is to use. Just enter your Twitter credentials and press 'record.' Screenr runs inside your browser, so you don't need to install any software. Once you finish your recording, you can immediately send your video directly to your Twitter followers from within the application.


Bubble Tweet This service enables anyone using the Twitter® social media service to record or upload short video messages that speak directly to their followers.

VidTweeter.com - This service is tied directly to Twitter and enables members to share video material hosted on different services directly with their Twitter followers without directing them away from their main Twitter profile information. It's yet another great way for people to leverage video material in their Twitter social media marketing efforts.
