twitter_fail_whale[1] Twitter is my favourite tool, my addiction for the last six months.For me, tweeting is like brushing my teeth, something that I do everyday.

There are wonderful posts on web that describes what is Twitter and how to use it for personal and professional development and how to integrate it in our classes.

and I am not going to write about Twitter or retell everything that has been blogged and explained by other great bloggers. Instead , with this post; I would like to share my favourite Web 2.0 tool’s favourite applications. Here they are:

Twitpic lets you share photos on Twitter. You can send pictures from you phone or just getting on the site.

Find wonderful Twitter buttons to add your websites and let the world see your tweets and reach you, or alternatively you can try AddTweets!

Mr. Tweet should be the first to follow! It helps you to find great people and followers relevant to your interests.

Do you want to find free background images? Here comes TwitterBackgrounds, largest selection I’ve ever seen or you can have a look at TwitterBacks.

You can easily share Flickr pictures on Twitter using SnapTweet.

You can see the real time visualization of the tweets on the world map on TwitterVision.

Do you need to share files on Twitter? Have a look at TweetCube.

Using TwitThis button on your website or your blog, your visitors can send the shortened URL and the description of the link to their friends on Twitter.

B using TwitterCloud, you can create a word cloud from a public Twitter stream.

Using Twuffer, you can schedule your tweets at a later date and decide on their release or you can use FutureTweets to send you tweets at a later timer send a reoccurring Tweet daily, weekly,monthly,yearly.

With Twitrgrid, you can create mosaic grid for your website either the tweeps following you or you are following in three different sizes.

Bubbletweet is one of my favourites. You can add a bubble video of yourself to welcome your followers. This is such a great ideas and will do mine soon =)

I don’t know how you do it, but there are apps here that I’ve never seen on any other list. Good ones, too! Thanks, as always for putting everything together so nicely.

Can I adopt you to organize my life the way you do all of the information you share?
