Birdsall Social Media

Every day I run across some cool new site for Twitter. Who would have thought that micro-blogging would inspire so many random data mines & apps? I’ve compiled several published lists, my bookmarks & links I’ve been sent – so I can’t claim to be the origin of this list. Keep in mind, many of these overlap & do the same thing.

Please send me what I’ve missed, with a brief description & where to categorize it - and I’ll continue to add!
