In the Twitter forge , we are almost at 120 listings of different Twitter hacks, apps, plugs, services, mashups and related items to Twitter. If there is anything we have missed or omitted please let us know and we will get it listed here. We aim to be the best resource on Twitter and Twitter apps on the net.

Also we thought that we would take this opportunity to ask the community how we can make Twittown a better community resource. If you have any suggestions please post them in the comments below or fill out the contact form.

Thanks for your input and happy twittering!

It has been a wild ride for Twitter over the last six months and Twittown has been here to support and document the way. We started the Twitter Forge to enable Twitter users to find the best 3rd party Twitter tools for their use, enjoyment and productivity. This week, we have passed a milestone. There are now over 100 Twitter Applications, plugins, mashups, services and other useful twitter items listed in the Twittown Twitter Forge .

It is amazing at the speed and conviction of the 3rd party developers in getting such a range of Twitter related applications to market. There is still some speculation around the web whether Twitter is a fad or not. We think the concept is not a fad, 100+ companies developing applications around Twitter obviously see some sort of future for Twitter.

There has been a proliferation of Twitter clones and other competition lately. How will this affect Twitter? While no one knows for sure yet, we can be sure that Twitter has a signifigant "first mover" advantage over the others. There has been talk around the blogsphere that twitter is lagging behind in functionality and that there are now better services out there. That may be the case but it is not a small effort for users to tell all their friends to move over to a new service. We think Twitter has some time (albiet not much) to step up to the plate and add more functionality to the service. Everyone is waiting to see what their next move will be that takes them to the next level and catches them up with the features of the competition.

We would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the 3rd party Twitter developers and the Twitter community. If you have a Twitter related application (or know of one) that is not listed in the Twitter Forge , let us know and we will get it posted.

Wow, Twitter is growing fast. We now have over 30 apps listed in the Twitter Forge. Come check it out and surely there is a twitter app for you!

If you know of any new Twitter apps or services, let us know in the forums.

(yes we are working on getting comments enabled in the blog. It is in the works!)
