Wanted/Needed: Twitter Services Directory
By Mark Evans | May 7, 2008
One of the best aspects of Twitter is the flurry of cool related services that seem to be released on a daily basis.
The launch of TwitterFone yesterday got me thinking how useful it would be to have a directory where you could find any Twitter-related service. It would be something similar to the Wordpress Plugin Directory, and be a user-friendly destination where Twitter aficionados could easily and quickly find services to make Twitter more useful, powerful, fun, etc.
If I had the time and, more important, the programming skills, this would be something I would, in theory, create. But I’m sure there’s an entrepreneurial soul out there who could take on this project in no time at all!
Note: A Twitter directory may already exist. If you know of one, leave a comment. If you’re looking for interesting Twitter applications, a search for “best Twitter services” will give you lots of places to waste/invest some time.
More: Speaking of Twitter, ParisLemon has a post looking at how the mainstream media is starting to catch on. He points to a Reuters story on how breaking news breaks on Twitter.
As well: In other Twitter news, Twitter has created an official spammer blacklist. One question: why did it take so long given spam is becoming such a big problem. Everyone knew it was coming so you figured Twitter would have been ahead of the game.
