Twitterfall is a way of viewing the latest ‘tweets’ of upcoming trends and custom searches on the micro-blogging site Twitter. Updates fall from the top of the page in near-realtime. For popular trends, Twitter is queried from the Twitterfall server, and results are pushed to your browser, rather than your browser doing the queries, or your computer polling our server repeatedly. This means using Twitterfall for popular trends is nicer on Twitter than other services…..worth having a play with if you get the chance

TweetDeck is an Adobe Air desktop application that is currently in beta. It aims to evolve the existing functionality of Twitter by taking an abundance of information i.e twitter feeds, and breaking it down into more manageable bite sized pieces.

After testing it for a few days I think it’s a really cool piece of software as it allows you to organise and manage your twitter feeds into groups that make sense to you (almost like interactive rss feeds) and even better it’s quick and simple to use and looks a lot nicer than the front end of twitter.

Good stuff………….
