Mashable - The Social Media Guide: Twitter Launches a Very Unofficial App Directory: #appwednesday

  • abutterflyloves · 2 months ago
    Not sure if I am the only one who feels this, but MusicMonday, FollowFriday, WordlessWednesday (blogger and wordpress) and all the other days of the week is getting ridiculous. I think I have enough ROUTINE in my life, I don't want my Twitter and other social networks to join the masses. (Yawn) I don't mind articles and tweets to tell me the new apps, but to get 10000 tweets on Hootsuite every wednesday will annoy me.

    @abutterflyloves I agree with you. Feel like I have to follow #appwednesday to find out who will be the first to come up with a way to filter out/hide certain hashtags from your networks tweets.

    Best app on twitter is for the pets of twitter: www.TwitPets.com - no hashtags here!
  • Arthur Wilkie · 2 months ago
    Best app on Twitter is... blu and maybe TweetDeck, but I've heard Twhirl and HootSuite are pretty good.
  • James · 2 months ago
    Of course had to throw my app, TwitterBackground.com, in the mix..

    Question: so does Twitter automatically make this a trending topic every Wednesday?
  • Zahid Lilani · 2 months ago
    I heard Twitter is buying OneForty (maybe a rumor) but is there any truth to it? If they are, they won't need this lame #appwednesday hash tag to uncover new and cool apps.

    This is overdue. Twitter should have done this ages ago. Experienced users have been using various apps often several; preferably using OAuth authentication to help manage their experience. Twitter should have been helping Beginners ages ago.

    It's kinda stupid because when you do a search for #appwednesday on twitter all I see are mentions of this article, that hardly helps me find the best third party apps.

    Wondering how this became a blog entry. Who fucking cares?
  • Dave · 2 months ago
    Sorry, wasn't done. It's like every time Twitter farts on the internet, the blogosphere has to snack it up instantly and crap it all over the place. I mean, horray to cool apps, I use a few - but to blog about #appwednesday? Boo.

    I think this is an excellent idea! There are so many apps out there that can make life so much easier for all kinds of tweeters. Hopefully this will catch on and be really useful for helping people find the Twitter tools they need. I found out about it because someone already nominated our app, TweetFunnel, as one of their favs!

    Twitzee http://twitzee.com is my favorite...

    Twitter should definitely buy this one. Someone needs to get control of some of these many apps. while some of them are useful a lot of also designed just to spam twitter

    this unofficial app is really starnge
  • Carlo Zottmann · 2 months ago
    For me, clearly TwerpScan.com, a Twitter contact list management app, deserves an #appwhateverdayitistoday mention.

    Of course, I've built it, so… *cough* ;)

    An official app directory would be appreciated, but of course it'd need to be professionally curated.

    im glad they're doing this, im a beginner and there are many things idk abt twitter!!
    there should be a beginner's guide or something!

    Have to throw my own app into the mix. http://twitrpix.com - photo sharing on Twitter from web, email, mobile, Firefox addon.
  • Ortwin Oberhauser · 2 months ago
    There are tons of third-party Twitter apps out there but every time you use one of this tools there is the question: "Will Twitter accept this?" So you don't know if maybe your account will get suspended from Twitter because of using this apps. So I think it's not such a bad idea that Twitter will tell us now which apps are Twitter welcome! Sill now I was always very carefull with using apps but the apps that Twitter will recommend I will for sure us.

    Many thank's to the Mashable Team for the amazing information!

    Stay tuned

  • Guest · 2 months ago
    No doubt this is the quick way for Twitter to build their own app store!
  • Christian · 2 months ago
    Any news re the unconfirmed rumor of Oneforty's acquisition or partnership with Twitter? Is this related?
