Tools for Twitter abound (almost as prolifically as for the iPhone). Need proof? Look on Twitter itself. There is one tool though (outside of Wefollow) that I’ve come to use a good bit. Tweepular.

Tweepular is the brain child of @jasontryfon and is a way to determine your popularity on twitter based on a number of factors. Namely: reach, log ins (to tweepular), follower/followers ratio number of tweets and some other obscure figures (of which JasonTryfon would not elaborate). What I find it most useful for though, is checking to see who is following me and whether or not I am following them back as well as the last time they posted. The fact that I can log in to one area, click a link and viola, everyone who is following me or that I am following is there (and laid out however I want it) is pretty handy. Even better is the ability to follow/unfollow directly from the page. The only thing that is lacking so far is the ability to post directly to twitter from the site.

You do have to log in with your twitter username and password, but it is not stored on the site so much as cached, and it does time out after a period of time. This makes it a little more secure than other programs which require you to create a new account and store your twitter id and password with their service. The service is pretty easy to follow, the tabs are bright and colorful and do what they say. Want to see your tweeps based on their tweepularity, number of followers, date added or latest updated? Simply click the bubble (thats what it is…) and they’re sorted. Check it out. Tweepular is definitely a tool you want to have bookmarked. Oh, and Follow Me.
