Proposed move
[edit]- The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was No move Parsecboy (talk) 02:30, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
Per Business Week, this article should moved to "twitterlings". --beefyt (talk) 00:29, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
- Strong oppose. Moving does not help the reader identify what they're looking at. The list is Twitter services and applications "(sometimes referred to as Twitterlings)". I fail to see any motive to move. Instead, Twitterlings should redirect here. Greg Tyler (t • c) 00:47, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
- First of all, this is a list article, so the move would have to be to List of twitterlings or List of Twitterlings if "twitterling" is a proper noun.
- Second, that Business Week article seems to be playing with NEOLOGISMs rather than using established language, for example see its use of the word "Twitterpreneurship". A Gnews search finds no other reliable sources that use "twitterling" in this way, and a glance at a google search indicates this isn't even the primary topic for "twitterling": there's a baby mobile called "twitterling" which is better known. This use of the word "twitterling" is such a neologism I'm not sure it should even be mentioned in the lead of the article, let alone be incorporated into its title. For that reason I also oppose a redirect from twitterling (or twitterlings). Baileypalblue (talk) 16:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

How about just adding a link to Twitdom? They have over 725 apps listed and seems to be quite comprehensive and up-to-date? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.237.218.84 (talk) 17:21, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Blip.FM
[edit]Should be added to the article.----occono (talk) 01:14, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
- Feel free to do so, it's a totally open list. Greg Tyler (t • c) 11:01, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
- Added.----occono (talk) 19:59, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
nsyght.com
[edit]Would like to suggest to add nsyght - which offers ability to search a users social graph which is very unique/cool. In total honesty, I *am* connected with this service so please take this with a grain of salt. Techcrunch review: [1] Djhomeless (talk) 17:34, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

UberMedia
[edit]As of February 12, 2011 UberMedia owns Echofon, UberSocial (ex-UberTwitter) and TweetDeck [1]. This makes the company control 20% of all tweets [2]. Even though individual apps do not control such a large piece of the total tweets, in overall it represents a lot of the total share, so should this be stated in the wikipedia article? It can be done adding a new column in the table, stating "Company" or "Owner", for example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.105.113.35 (talk) 03:04, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Tweet It In
[edit]Please add Tweet It In. It lets users compress and shrink Tweets in real time by adding abbreviations, contractions, unicode chars, removing long words from vowels, and shortening long urls in real time as the user types. It also connects with Twitter to let the user Tweet without having to copy + paste. http://tweetitin.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Natanv (talk • contribs) 22:38, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
Exclude Twitdom?
[edit]Why is Twitdom included? It is not a Twitter service or application, but a directory (like this (main) page). --Mortense (talk) 11:45, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Am disappointed not to see mention of this 'Add-on' in the article, I am being invited to sign up for it and hoped for independent information in the article or a link to some.

Command-line clients
[edit]I suspect that adding some command line clients to this list like oysttyer, rainbowstream or pytwitter would be useful, and the content might be relevant merely because these clients are general purpose command line clients. On the other hand by interpretation of the importance of the command line might be slightly warped ("if you can't interact with it or script it from the command lie, it doesn't exist).
However, I doubt any of these clients would pass WP:N. Opinions? To save unnecessary back and forth, I'll respond to the predictable arguments now:
- "This is a list of notable clients": that would be an article-specific policy, not a fact about the article. It may well be a good and necessary policy, however.
- "Slippery slope", plausible... though I suspect its people actions rather than logical consistency that maintains this page. Everything after this must be notable, isn't particularly hard to enforce.
- "Your view of relevant content is warped": perhaps.

Cannonball App missing from list
[edit]There is an app missing from the list made using a Twitter service from Google called Cannonball. It is built off of the fabric design and includes a link directly to Twitter. People can write a short poem based off of an image (It shows recent tweets). The app is still available from the iOS App Store. I noticed it was not on the list. Ben M. 526 (talk) 01:01, 15 March 2020 (UTC) Ben M. 526
- As with most wikipedia lists, this one only includes items if they are notable enough to have their own article. There doesn't seem to be an article on Cannonball currently, so it is not included. If you have reliable, independent sources that cover the app, you could post them along with a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles.Dialectric (talk) 14:53, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
Why is this still around? Delete it?
[edit]Around half of the services listed on here are no longer around.
"Twitterjobsearch.com" listed at Redirects for discussion
[edit]
A discussion is taking place to address the redirect Twitterjobsearch.com. The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 June 11#List of Twitter services and applications until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
Also included are Echofon and TweetCaster. Pandakekok9 (talk) 05:51, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
