LinkedIn is the latest social network to offer integration with Twitter, according to Twitter's blog post about the LinkedIn integration as well as LinkedIn's blog post on the topic; Twitter and LinkedIn refer to their integration as "the perfect combination" - but is it really that? Are Twitter and LinkedIn, both profoundly different social networks, really going to "get along" as well as Twitter hopes they will? We're not so sure.

On the back of Twittergram , the service to send voice / audio messages over Twitter, Dave Winer is at it again. Developing more useful Twitter mashups that is.

This time his creation is called "Twitter for Pictures ". Fred Wilson at A VC is calling it Twickr . It is a mashup of Twitter and Flickr where you can send a picture to Flickr and then it automatically updates your twitter subscribers. Pretty cool.

UPDATE - Here is the actual Flickr to Twitter page , it is only in limited trial so you will need to ask Dave for a chance to try it.

This is a neat tool that was brought to our attention by Shadowscope . Basically it is a service that you can enter your mileage when you fill up your car, then the service does all the mileage and calculations that you could want.

The cool thing about it is that you don't have to wait till you get home on the web, you can enter the details via twitter, right at the pump. Very cool!

My Mile Marker is here.

From Lifehacker.com :

"Firefox with Greasemonkey: Greasemonkey userscript Google Reader + Twitter allows for two-click sharing of GReader articles with Twitter. Google Reader + Twitter adds a "Share with Twitter" button to the Google Reader footer that displays a popup where you can customize the title, tag, URL, and note before submitting the article to Twitter. "

Twitigg is a new site that takes all of the articles, links and videos posted in Twitter and then reposts them to a website so you can view them. The idea is that it counts the number of times that each article is posted in the twittersphere.  Then you can see how popular each story / link is by the number of people submitting it.  

When we first looked at Twitigg, we were put off by a couple of things. - We couldn't vote on the stories. - There is a lot of bad data. Maybe not bad data per-se but it looks like the Twitigg site can not handle some international character...

Thanks to Kristen Nicole on Mashable for the sneak peak into Brabblr's private beta. She writes..

.."With this meta tool, you can add updates to all of your Twitter-like blogs. Brabblr supports Twitter, Jaiku, Frazr, Wamadu and Textln. Brabblr works in the same manner as Twitter and the rest, and gives you the option of receiving updates from your friends or recent updates from the entire community. Each update indicates where it came from, which lets me know that Brabblr should be importing updates from the other sites it connects to, but this feature seems to show that...

This is hot off the presses and now Twittervision is allowing you to connect into their app via a new API. From their twittervision API website:

"Yes, it's time. We wanted to publish easy ways for people to work with the location-based information available through Twittervision and Twittermap. This is a start. There is more coming."

It looks like you can get the location and status of a user so far. We will see how the API and Twittervision develops and what they have up their sleeve next. It is just a guess but I assume that they (twittervision) must be getting hit with a...

Have you ever wondered what people are twittering on about on Twitter? Well now you can find out with Twitterment. Twitterment is a mashup using Twitter, JfreeChart (graphs) and Lucene (Search) open source libraries to be able to search and analyze what terms people are twittering about. It is really cool actually and seems to work great. It was a little slow when we tried it but maybe it was just under load at the time.

There is also a compare function where you can compare the stats for two terms.

Twitterment is hosted on UMBC (University of Maryland Baltimore County)...
