Friday Favorite: SpreadTweet

Not since the Cola Wars or the Cold War have we seen a battle as fierce as The Twitter App Wars. Like salmon swimming upstream, each little app is fighting to gain your affection. I believe that there's no one Twitter app to rule them all. Instead, individual tastes and needs dictate which one becomes your go-to solution.

Unless you're trying to be sneaky.

If you're the type who loves to tweet but works for a boss who'd rather you spend your time being productive than tweeting pictures of your lunch, SpreadTweet is for you. Just launch, sign in and you're good to go. SpreadTweet looks just like an Excel spreadsheet. In fact, we'd wager that it'd fool anyone who doesn't actually stop to read what's written there.

It runs on Adobe Air, which turns some people off. Those folks can use the web-based version (which probably kills the illusion).

Wow! Twitter has given birth to hundreds of creative apps, right from TinyURLs to TwitPic to TwitShare and all these amazing apps with simplicity (Twitterific) to andvanced tweeting (TweetDeck) to simply tweeting (Tweetie).

And now another interesting way to tweet!

TinyURL was actually created for newsgroup posting back in 2002 :)

@Michael: Fine. But Twitter gave rise to others like tr.im, bit.ly, su.pr and countless others.....

Is there something like this for chatting (AIM, google Talk, etc) instead of Tweets? That would be really awesome.

You can go one better an actually tweet from Excel using Tweetsheet http://jasontheodor.com/2008/02/15/twitter-tweet-sheet/

I wouldn't make Tweetsheet your primary client but it makes a useful Twitter database, use built in filtering to see some interesting stats like time and date of last tweet, Count tweets or geek out and play around with pivot tables ( haven't tried but other excel functions seem to work )
