The complete ‘must have’ Twitter tools list
February 26th, 2008
Over the last year or so Liberate Media has been creating a social media and web 2.0 resource/research page. When we first started creating the resource Twitter was non-existent, but now its probably the category that’s updated the most!
Twitter has been going crazy over the past 6 months and I have noticed that people with dual blogging/Twitter responsibilities are tending to tweet more rather than updating their blog. Is blogging so last year? Well that’s a separate conversation.
However, check out the compendium of links below, as there’s probably something there for you!
Firefox
TwittyTunes - Allows to post your currently playing songs to Twitter with a click. As a bonus, you can also post the websites you’re visiting, videos you’re watching and more!

The tool is the the ultimate time saver to building powerful social media accounts. One of the secrets of top Diggers, Stumblers, Navigators etc… is being the first to submit stories already becoming popular on other social news sites. For example you can browse Reddit to find good stories already submitted and be the first to submit them to Digg. You can browse Digg and be the first to Stumble pages that are becoming popular there. Most if not all articles on the front page of Digg are submitted to StumbleUpon and will get a lot of Thumbs up.
