Neatly, an app developed by Cairo-based F16Apps, upends the normal Twitter user experience by changing your timeline from time-based into interest-based.
The idea behind Neatly is to make Twitter as organized and customized for each user as possible, weeding out irrelevant tweets and highlighting what’s important based on your social preferences and interests.
Calling all sports junkies: a new (free!) app called Beyond the Box is the answer to your live sports coverage prayers.
Beyond the Box aggregates NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL news, analysis, rumors, videos, photos, and player thoughts from 1,000 media sources and 2,000 players into a personalized sports timeline that you can curate based on your favorite teams and athletes.
A tweet from an official Twitter Glass app has been spotted, meaning the roll-out of said app can’t be far behind.
Jonathan Gottfried, Twilio’s Developer Evangelist, has already built an unofficial Google Glass app called GlassTweet.
But if Twitter itself is working on a Glass app, that’s a whole different story.
A new online application called “Where Does My Tweet Go?” lets you examine exactly how a tweet spreads through Twitter.
The service, still in beta and created by information architect Benoît Vidal along with the team at MFG Labs in France, uses a visual algorithm to illustrate how your messages spread among both your followers and strangers.
You’ll remember lots of third party developers have been ticked at Twitter lately, because they’ve had to close up shop due to changes to Twitter’s API that restricted their access.
PeopleBrowsr, the folks behind Kred (and others), is one of those developers – but it hasn’t closed up shop. Far from it. It has been battling Twitter since late last year to retain its coveted access to Twitter’s firehose.
And today, they’ve announced a settlement with Twitter.

In a move that brings to mind the song “don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone,” Listorious is no more.
The self-curated Twitter list targeting tool, a favorite of many, has gone quietly into that good night – but there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.
This recurring series focused on twits – people and businesses that just don’t ‘get’ Twitter. We call it The Twit List. Hopefully you don’t find yourself on it.
We’ve told you how easy it is to make your own Twitter bot and how you can learn to manipulate Twitter’s API for free, but do you know all the wonderful things you can do with this knowledge?
One coder does – and he demonstrates one of them by highlighting how moronic people are on Twitter.
Following on the heels of the Shorty Awards’ involvement of Vines comes the Tribeca Film Festival’s official stamp of approval for these uber-popular 6-second video loops.
The film fest this year challenged people to use Twitter’s Vine app to create 6-second films — with a “beginning, middle and end” — for a special #6SecFilms contest.
And the 40 finalists have been released.
