I just wanted to put up a quick post asking if anyone wanted a Google Wave Invite. I’ve been playing around with it for the last few days and am pretty impressed, but I was wondering if anyone else wanted to join in the fun?
In case you haven’t heard of Google Wave, here’s a brief description:
Google Wave is an online communication and collaboration tool that makes real-time interactions more seamless — in one place, you can communicate and collaborate using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
A wave is a conversation with multiple participants — participants are people added to a wave to discuss and collaborate on its content. Participants can reply any time and anywhere within a wave, and they can edit content and add more participants as a wave develops. It’s also possible to rewind waves with the playback functionality, to see what happened, and when.
All you have to do is leave a comment and I’ll send the invite to the email address you enter for the comment. I think I have six invites left, so the first 6 get them!

I get to talk to a lot of the top users over at Digg. This is important because the Digg algorithm is always in a constant state of tweak (a statement that can be construed properly several different ways). It changes as fast as, if not faster than, Google and other search engines. Two questions always pop up with either me asking top users or other users asking me:
“What does it take to get to the front page?”
The answer has two parts: time and tools. We can go into the time issue later, but for now, let’s assume that you have the time. The second question is:
“What are the right tools?”
There are dozens of lists of Digg tools out there. Most of them are nice and quaint, but do top users really use them. Normally, no. Here are the tools that they do use. Some are obviously loose interpretations of the word “tools” but anything that helps to achieve the goal of hitting the front page often should be listed. Read the rest of this entry
Pretty sure Osama Bin Laden doesn’t have an account on Facebook but if he did I am sure it would look exactly like the one shown below. Jihadists have had great success in using YouTube and other online networking tools to get their message out on the web. With the popularity of Facebook it seems like their next target is to invade Facebook and use it as a portal for their next propaganda. For more information please click on the link below after you check out the fake Osama Facebook profile.

If you are looking to find every Twitter application and tool out there I think this will serve you pretty good. Although there are hundreds of twitter tools coming out of the woods each day, I think it would be safe to say that this wiki covers almost every service that you might possibly need in regards to your Twitter use.
Since it is a wiki you also have the option to edit page and add new apps or make correction where you might thing the information is outdated or wrong. The wiki seems to be updated pretty often. This site should be able to satisfy any urge or any requirements you might have that relates to your twitter use 
. Give it a try, you will love it with all the applications that are listed here for both desktop and mobile.
The hard thing about getting into Twitter is if you are not already a known figure on the web, it can get quite frustrating gathering up a decent number of followers. Think of it as a new blog. If an established blogger starts a new blog he/she is able to gain a large number of subscribers in a matter of days. But if you are new and just starting out it takes months or even years before you can grab a decent number of subscribers.
Twittieme sort of helps you grab new followers. It is a simple service that lets you advertise your twitter profile for free. The signup service is as simple as it can be. Add your twitter profile, add an image you want to use and you are ready to roll. The service takes about 24 hour to approve your ad. Also at any given time this site adds only one twitter profile to its main page so each profile gets maximum exposure. I am not sure exactly how effective this service has been to twitter users but if you are looking for a way to gain some traction on Twitter, this certainly might be of some help.

Before we get started with the post I would like to say that personally I am not for this service. The only reason I chose to feature this on Nethackz is because we would like our readers to know that their are options to earn money via twitter. I don’t think the overall model of the business is bad but for some reason I myself am not comfortable using it.
Magpie is a service that lets you earn money from you tweets and the tagline makes that clear – convert your tweets into bling-bling. Magpie is an ad network for twitter that connects advertisers to possible targeted market on twitter based on what they are tweeting. As I have written above, I do not use this service so haven’t tried it yet but this is how it works.
- Advertisers get in touch with magpie
- Magpie looks for users that are tweeting things that might be based on advertisers products or services
- Magpie tweets a message from you on behalf of the advertiser.
The service is simple. As far as I know the service usually finds best match before it sends out a “magpie” ad. If you are talking about food, your magpie ad will contain a tweet related to food to keep it as relevant as possible. If you are up for making some money I would suggest you give it a try. See how it goes and may be I will come on board with you guys .
This is one of the most useful twitter apps for people who want to stay active on twitter but don’t have the time to keep at it. TweetLater does exactly what it says – helps you schedule your tweets for a later time just in case you might not be around to tweet something important. This is especially helpful for corporate users and other Twitter users as well since it allows you to tweet announcements, links and other information that might be time sensitive.
TweetLater is a free service and you have to create an account to use this service. The signup process is pretty simple. Usual signup process and you are ready to go. No email to confirm or anything. Once you are logged in you will have 3 options to choose from – manage your tweets, manage tweet keywords or get take a step by step guide. If you have never used this service we would suggest you take a step by step guide which guides you through the entire process.
Once you get to the dashboard simply click on “Add Twitter Account” and add your twitter profile using your twitter username and password and you are ready to go 
. Now you can schedule your tweets and get your tweets seen in the middle of the night while you are dreaming away. Pretty neat! I think this service can be extremely useful for active twitter users as they can schedule tweets and have it seen by their followers even when they are not around. The only thing is to make sure you use it wisely and not as a “spam machine.”
The other cool feature that this service offers is that it allows you to track keywords that you are interested in. Once you select the keywords you want to track TweetLater sends you an email letting you know how many times and who tweeted what you are interested in. Although I use twitter quite frequently I admit I just came across this site. Now if you excuse me I need to schedule some tweets for later .
Lets talk a little about PopURLs in case you don’t know about it. PopURL stands for “Popular URL” and this service is like the central hub where you can find all the URL that are popular on the web. The service pulls links from sites such as Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, YouTube among many others and neatly lists them under the service it was pulled from. The links are based on popularity hence the name PopURLs.
Now to the Twitter part . Not that we were trying to break our “Twitter Week” promise, we just had to kind of layout the central idea before we talked about TwittURLs. TwittURLs is a similar service like PopURLs and the only difference which you probably already figured out is that it pulls popular links from Twitter. This service lists all the links that are popular on twitter based on number of views. the more it is viewed the higher placement it gets.
This site first lists links to content based on popularity followed by popular images and then videos. It seems like anytime you use Twitpic to send images to twitter, it shows on content category as well. Whenever you send a link to an image through twitpic instead of the title of the image you get “Twitpic – Share images on Twitter,” which is kind of a bummer as it would be nice to see the title. It is a pretty neat service and might be pretty helpful for bloggers to analyze how their links are doing. If its here your links are certainly doing good on Twitter.
Here we are once again with another cool Twitter service. There are so many twitter apps out there that some are completely useless and doesn’t serve any purpose whatsoever. Yesterday, while we were busy tweeting we came across a link that caught our eye. Twiffid is a pretty cool application that lets you track what your twitter friends are blogging about. Tiffid basically allows you to see what your twitter friends’ current posts are on their blog without having to visit their blog from the profile itself.
If you are a digg user or reddit user you know how important the title of a story is. This service can help these twitter users levitate traffic to their blog by giving them one more platform. The service is pretty simple to use. As with most twitter clients login using your twitter username and password.
Once you are logged in you will be able to see all your twitter friend’s latest blog posts titles. Just click on it and you will be at their blog reading that particular post.
I personally think that this service has a lot of potential. Its kind of like a feed reader so to speak where all the new blogposts written by your Twitter friends are updated regularly. If you happen to use this service, let us know what you think.

If you are an active twitter user I am sure you have used TwitPic. However, there are many Nethackz readers who have yet to try it out and we would like to share this awesome tool with our readers who have yet to use it. Twitpic is a service that lets you share images on twitter. The site is really easy to use and like most other Twitter apps and services it is minimal and there are no bells and whistles attached to it.
To use the service simply login using your twitter account. Once you login you can go ahead and click on upload image if you would like to share images on twitter from your computer. Of course you can do this through other sites such as Flickr and all but you would still have to go back to twitter and write the message, etc. With TwitPic you can simply upload the image, write a message and click “post it.” After you do this within few seconds your image will be posted on your twitter profile without you having to do anything on twitter. Pretty simple and easy.
The thing that I like the most about this service is that it lets you upload images while on the go from your mobile device. It lets users upload image directly from their phone and sends it to twitter. If you are out and about and see something really cool and would like to share with your twitter peeps, this service comes in pretty handy. To send images to your twitter account via mobile device you need to email your images to a unique address that is assigned to you by Twitpic. Once you log into the site click on setting to get your unique email address.
Once you get your unique email address, email images to this address from your mobile device. Your subject line becomes the message that follows the link. This is a pretty easy way to share images with your fellow tweeps. So go ahead and give it a try. If at any point you have a problem using the service go ahead and let us know in the comments section. We will try our best to get you rolling.
