dizzysoft software8 Twitter Games (including, #twit and #ThatsWhatSheSaid)
Do you know what’s missing from my twitter experience? Twitter games! I did a search on twitter games and came across a Mashable post describing 6 different games you can play on twitter.
- The first of the twitter games is Twivia. Like it sounds, this twitter game requires you to answer trivia questions for points.
- The next of the twitter games is Twitbrain. This twitter game is about how fast you can solve a math problem.
- Tweetbomb is the most vicious of twitter games. Every day this twitter game suggests someone for you to tweet without any message. Eventually they become overwhelmed by empty messages from everyone- and they’ve been successfully twitter bombed.
Twitter SMS Commands
I use the SMS feature for Twitter a lot because I don’t have a data plan on my cell phone. Recently I discovered a list of Twitter text commands that you can send to Twitter by SMS that will allow you to use many of the features of the website.
The most useful Twitter SMS commands include:
- ON
- turns ALL SMS notifications on
- OFF
- turns ALL SMS notifications off.
- STOP or QUIT
Twitter Track: How to track topics or hash tags on Twitter
A while back, as mentioned in my list of Twitter SMS commands, you used to be able to ask Twitter to track certain keywords or hash tags for you, just like you might follow a Twitter friend. Twitter has since put a stop to the Twitter track functionality.
You can, however, use FeedTwit to Twitter track. Since FeedTwit can an RSS feed and convert it to a direct message (unlike TwitterFeed, which makes an RSS feed public) all you will need is an RSS feed for the Twitter track you are interested in. That’s simple because Twitter search makes an RSS feed easily available for you.
