These Twitter tools do genuinely useful stuff but less people know about them. That's fun. Oh -- and some of these tools are just that: fun.

Followfriday Helper

Don't miss recommending your best buddies on Twitter; the people that actually interact with you and/or retweet your material.

Filter based on retweets sent or received, on recommendations received, on favorites, or on @ replies.

IDFromUser

Used to be finding your user ID was easy on Twitter by a quick look in the source code. Not so much anymore. That's why we have this tool.

By the way, Jack Dorsey has the lowest Twitter ID: 12. The highest is the person who just signed up.

Just plain old fun. Type in a conversation and the tool turns it into a "real" Twitter convo. You can set handles, names, avatars, backgrounds -- even the Twitter client!

Fun Smile

TwitWipe

image

Why you would want to do this? As the home page says;

TwitWipe is a tool to wipe or delete all your tweets in one go. You may need to do this to start over, to clean it out before handing the account over to someone else, or maybe you've just realised how shitty your tweets are.

Can't argue with that.

Beats deleting your account; with TwitWipe everything stays as is (account, login, permissions, ID, followers, following) except you get rid of all your tweets.

About the Author: Ruud Hein

I love helping to make web sites make it. From the ground up if needed. CSS challenges, server-side scripting, user and device friendly JavaScript tricks search engines have no problems with. Tracking how the sites perform and then figuring out how to make that performance and the tracking better. I'm passionate about information. No matter how often I trim my feeds in my feed readers (yes, I use more than one), I always have a couple of hundred in there covering topics ranging from design to usability, from SEO to SEM, from life hacks to productivity blogs, from.... Well, you get the idea, I guess. Knowledge and information management is close to my heart. Has to be with the amount of information I track. My "trusted system" is usually in flux but always at hand and fully searchable. My paid passion job at Search Engine People sees me applying my passions and knowledge to a wide array of problems, ones I usually experience as challenges. It's good to have you here: pleased to meet you!
