Traveling around the Internet, it is impossible to miss Tweet buttons on websites. You know what Tweet buttons are – those buttons that say “Retweet” or “Tweet This” at the beginning or end of posts. The big player in Tweet buttons was, until last week, TweetMeme. Now, though, Twitter itself has thrown its hat into the ring, teaming with TweetMeme to create an official Tweet Button. In fact, the official Tweet Button works much the same way that the TweetMeme button works.
If you are overwhelmed by the multitude of services you are a part of and need to maintain, Cliqset may be the definitive service for you. Originally thought to be a slightly prettier FriendFeed clone, the service has taken big strides in the past eight months. With over 80 connected services, including deep integrations with Evernote, Twitter, Foursquare, and yes, even Google Buzz, Cliqset is well on its way to becoming your social media command centre.
You might remember our post on Threadsy Beta way back in January. Threadsy is a great web app that pulls all of your email, Facebook and Twitter info into one neat little interactive package, and even gives you some detailed multiple social network info on your contacts. In May, Threadsy went live to the public with a slew of new features, and has added even more in the last week. It’s safe to say that Threadsy is growing fast and doing well, so if you tried it and dropped it, you might want to look again — and if you haven’t played with Threadsy yet, we recommend you check it out!
Here’s the shortlist of Threadsy’s new features, some detail on their latest updates, and a few things we would still like to see:
How smart are your Twitter followers? How do your followers stack up against the followers of other Twitter users out there? Fret and worry no longer, for now you can learn the answers to these important questions, using Stupid Fight. Stupid Fight is a website that allows you to input two Twitter usernames, and compare the "intelligence" of the followers of those users.
If you haven’t noticed already, my tongue is firmly in cheek while writing this post. Stupid Fight is a real site, though, so read on to learn a bit more about it, and how it measures the intelligence of a Twitter follower.
Remember, back in the day, when email was one-dimensional? The good ol’ days when all you had to do was remember one contact list and deal with one inbox? Well, those days are long gone, buddy. Today, we are in a world of social media: connecting and sharing with the planet at large in as many ways and as quickly as possible. Workplaces everywhere are banning social media because people are addicted to it and they just ain’t gettin’ nuthin done. Nuthin’. Yep. We are also in a world of the high speed degradation of da englich langage, loosing it fastr den wat wuz expected — but that’s another post (ohh that pained me!). Threadsy can’t help you with that last bit or the work bans — you’ll need to look to yourself, your conscience, and your pocket computery phone for that — but Threadsy can help you out with the constant jumping from webpage to webpage or tool to tool to deal with your three main inboxes: Email, Facebook and Twitter.
