Although I’m not a Twitter fan (yet) .
The list you’ve compiled is pretty good and I hope you get some good SM traffic from it.
102 resources…
The Ultimate Men with Pens Guide to Twitter.
And I’ll get smacked and held in mod for two links, but here you go. Follow James from Men with Pens on Twitter
Cheers, Steven. Good list.
James,
Thanks for the addition. Sorry I missed that one. Guess what, your comment didn’t get held in moderation. I guess it’s set to hold comments with 3 links.
Oooh, should I test it?
Hey Steven
That’s a great list and to be honest it crossed my mind a few days ago too but I just don’t have the energy to get back to blogging yet – so this should be added to my master 101 list
Pearl,
I haven’t seen many big collections of Twitter resources, but I knew I couldn’t be the only one thinking of it. I didn’t sit on this post very long because I could picture someone else beating me to it.
I too don’t quite understand how the twitter work. But with this list i think i can manage to get more info for it. Thanks for the links mate!
There’s a bunch of other voice apps for Twitter too chap..
SpinVox is my tool of choice.
I’ve never really been that interested in Twitter, and all its hype seems to come mostly from America, as here in the UK no one I know personally or at university uses it. At a glance it looks useless, but in a way it’s so useless that it’s useful. I might give a few of these tools a try and see how I get on with Twitter. Great post!
I have to admit, the appeal of twitter eludes me as well. Don’t you just wind up annoying your friends with micro posts about how you’re washing your clothes or watching something on TV? I could also see it being such a distraction that you’d lose a lot of valuable time. Of course, I haven’t tried it, so maybe I shouldn’t knock it …

[...] For reasons that I don’t understand, Twitter seems to be getting more popular everyday. If you use Twitter, Traffikd has a post on “101 Twitter Resources”. http://traffikd.com/resources/101-twitter-resources/ [...]
I’ve just signed up, and I’m reluctant to bore people with my thoughts. Maybe I’m not cut out for this twitter thing?
Maybe in time I’ll get it.
In your usual style, you kick-butt!
Super, duper list and sending out to everyone now
Maria Reyes-McDavis
Wow, I didn’t realise that there are som many twitters application for all purposes and I am going to take some time to check one or two.
good article you have there. kind of informative and very useful. hope to see more in the future.
Haha.. I didn’t bother trying even with Twitter. Lots of people use Twitter for traffic sake which I think it’s wrong =/ It should be more of a social site than a link exchanging site.
Great articles on twitter… Full of information about twitter…appreciate the effort that u made to complete the list.. thanks…
Why haven’t i seen you before…Excellent research and good insight…it depends on what you have the most experience with and there’s so many options, its crazy..
Thanks for taking the time to create this terrific list of Twitter resources (and for including the Business and Blogging post).
I’m definitely going to bookmark this so that I can refer to it again.
That’s gotta be the most comprehensive Twitter Resource list i’ve seen to date! Many thanks for your effort! This page will definately be on my bookmark!
thats some nice work. bookmarked! could i add you to my site?
journey,
Sure.
This is a wonderful list, I just love that there are so many ways to tweet and so many applications, one might never find time to blog:)

Thanks for providing the list of Twitter resources. I’m a big Twitter user myself.
I’m also working as an intern at Webbed Marketing, a social media marketing agency. As Twitter fans, and fans of 80s rock, we recently recorded a Twibute to Twitter: Pour Some Twitter on Me. I hope you’ll give it a listen, and if you like it, add it to your list of links.

Thanks, please let me know if I can provide any additional information.

Ok I’m late to the party….I just came across this list via @LaFemCreative. She posted in response to a comment from a Twitter newbie. What I love the most about this resource list is how you’ve organized the tools and information by category. The first five category descriptions are extremely useful. I wish I had this list when I first started tweeting in Sept.
Also I noticed that you don’t have a mobile client listed for the Palm OS. There are a ton of Palm Treo users and now the Palm Centro. I just found a mobile client 2 days ago called MoTwit for use with the Palm OS (in case anyone is interested). Perhaps you could include? No affiliation to me. It’s not the best but why should iphone users have all the fun?
You can find me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/marianhodges
P.S. WP Twitip plugin just realized in the last month. You can add a twitter id field to the comments area.
P.S.S. I didn’t include the 2 links (MoTwit and WP Twitip for fear of getting ‘blacklisted’). =)
Thanks again for fabulous resource!

So many useful tools and lots of time wasters too. Not sure where to start.
Hey thought I might suggest you can add http://www.hashdictionary.com/ as a resource too – it’s a dictionary for Hashtags, so you can understand what they mean!
Yup thats very true social media is growing each day and we always need people to be on our blog twitter one of the most easiest and superb option to get away.

Extremely needed resources for all twitter users.
Social Media Network Guide will make the difference.

Very comprehensive list…we will include you in our upcoming SocialMediaNetGuide Directory of Social Media and Marketing. And Retweet you @SocialNetGuide Thanks!
Another great one is http://www.tweetmakr.com – I’m surprised this hasn’t existed before.
It lets you create a custom tweet button that you can paste wherever you like. When a user clicks it, it posts that exact message you define. Great for contests, basic promo stuff!
