Introduction
Twitzu is a new twitter application for events. When a user creates an event, Twitzu automatically tweets out the event details from the creator’s twitter. Twitzu then encourages individuals to RSVP for the events, when that action occurs, Twitzu again automatically tweets out that the user is attending the event.
What I like
I think Twitzu can be an easier, simpler version of upcoming if done right. The ease of using twitter rather than another service adds to Twitzu’s appeal. The viral features of automatically tweeting RSVP’s help build the events exposure.
What I don’t like
Twitzu’s design is rather bland, a redesign is a must! Also, Twitzu is very buggy - when users RSVP Twitzu often duplicates the user’s avatar and RSVP.
Final words
For now Twitzu isn’t really worth using. With a redesign and some bugs worked out, Twitzu could instantly emerge as an extremely useful tool for quick events and parties.
What is TwitterCounter?
Twitter counter is another tracking device for keeping track of Twitter followers. Once you enter in your information (twitter handle) TwitterCounter will keep tabs on how many followers you have.
Smart branding decision
The first thing I thought of when I saw the embed for TwitterCounter was Feedburner. Sure the design decision shows little to no creativity, but associating yourself with a brand that doesn’t directly effect your product can definitely work to your advantage.
Final thoughts
TwitterCounter is a fun little application that serves a purpose. I think the best part about it is how unobtrusive the embed is. If they went with the big obnoxious widget, I would have probably ignored the product.
TwitterFone
What is it?
TwitterFone is a new free twitter application that allows you to send messages to Twitter by calling a phone number and actually speaking out your tweet.
How does TwitterFone work?
“TwitterFone transcribes what you’ve said from voice to text, and posts it to your Twitter feed for you.”
Does it work well?
From what I have seen on Twitter, TwitterFone seems to be fairly accurate. Obviously the experience varies depending on the user, but early reviews look good! See what people are saying about TwitterFone
