Twimailer
A new service launched on the intertubes yesterday which is one of the most exciting twitter-related services I’ve seen in a long time.
If you’re left wanting more information about a new follower than what Twitter currently supplies in their basic ‘new follower’ notification e-mail then you might want to try Twimailer.
After registering your e-mail at Twimailer it will generate a random e-mail address for you which you just enter into your Twitter account settings as your default e-mail. Then it’s just a question of waiting for that all important new follower so you can see the beautified notification e-mail. It gives you as much information as you’ll need to know about this new follower, including their avatar, location, bio, their following/follower stats aswell as their latest 10 tweets. It’s is a great way to weed out the spammers without even having to leave your inbox. Twimailer is what the Twitter.com new follower e-mails should have looked like by default. Be sure to watch the video on their site for a full walkthrough.

Osfoora HD for iPad

Weeks before my iPad arrived I downloaded several apps to get me up and running, one of which was Twitterrific for iPad. I really wanted to love the app, but there were so many features absent that I simply wasn’t enjoying the tweeting experience from my new gadget. I checked the app store daily for
Twitter Mousepad
about 8 months ago - 2 comments
On 11th December I placed an order with Meninos for a Twitter Mousepad. Choosing a mousepad can be harder than you think – the shinier plastic/rubber topped ones have been a real drag for every mouse I’ve used including the Mighty and Magic mice – and using it directly on my desktop was even worse.

Tweetie 2 (iTunes) was released to the App Store last night, shortly after developer Loren Brichter announced to the masses on Twitter that it had been approved. The buzz about it on Twitter felt very similar to that which accompanies the release of a brand new Apple product. It was THAT good.
After I wrote a
Tweetie 2 for iPhone

As a huge advocate of Tweetie for iPhone and Mac, I was excited to hear what developer Loren Brichter was going to announce today, regarding the next version of the iPhone client. Some people were anticipating an update to the Mac version which was released back in April, but I can’t say that there’s anything

Tweetie for Mac

I am very excited to hear that Tweetie, the best twitter client for the iPhone bar none, is coming to a Mac desktop near you. I have struggled to find a desktop client that I feel truly comfortable with other than Twitterrific. I can’t abide TweetDeck, Twhirl, EventBox or the other twitter clients which also
Terminal Tip: Twitterrific
about 1 year ago - No comments
I love Twitter chatter, but sometimes there can be just too much noise, especially if there is an event being talked about heavily and people are using those annoying hashtags before the #word. If you couldn’t care less about hearing the chatter about these events, then you’ll be looking for a way of filtering them
Safari140

For a while there have been Twitter extensions for other browsers out there but none, to my knowledge, for Safari on the Mac. That was until a few days ago when Safari140 was released. This new extension was created by the developer behind the elegant NewsFire and Inquisitor.
Once downloaded and installed, simply go to File
The tweetest thing

When the iTunes App Store launched late June, one of the first applications I downloaded to my iPod touch with the 2.0 software update was Twitterrific [opens iTunes]. I use Twitterrific desktop app on my Mac and have always loved the clean simplicity of it. I downloaded the free version on the iPhone as there
Overcome shyness with Twitter Celebs

I don’t think there’s anyone, anywhere that is as shy as I am. I tell that to people online and they don’t believe me as I have carved out an online life of being the Administrator of a busy message forum for nearly 6 years. That consists of me taking the lead, organising things (and

Cheers, Scott. Yeah, Twimail is very handy for vetting new followers – especially on the iPhone where all the details can be seen in an e-mail instead of opening up Safari. Great

Cheers, Craig! It’s proving invaluable right now as spam has really increased in the past couple of days. Now I just need to see one ‘win this laptop’ tweet and I know to kill it off
