The best free Twitter tools
I’ve tried out quite a few Twitter tools but have found the majority do the same thing only in slightly different ways. Others are completely pointless unless you’re trying to procrastinate in which case they’re gold.
Even if you are not on a budget there’s no need to stray past the free twitter tools available, I’ve listed some great ones below (in no particular order).
1. Trendtistic
A lot like Google Insights for Search or Google Trends this tool graphs what’s going on in the Twitterverse.
Highly useful from a business perspective to look at product or brand trends over time.
Trendistic - Android
2. Tweet Stats
This tool plots the frequency and location of your tweets as well as other useful bits and pieces such as who you reply or retweet to the most. Just enter your Twitter name and it also generates a tag cloud and follower count trend.
Useful if you’re using Twitter for business and you want to know when you’re neglecting your audience.
Tweet Stats
A little egotistical but it is nice to have reassurance that being on Twitter is worthwhile. Unsure how this works (exactly) but a bit like the in’s and out’s of Google’s algorithm, who really cares when you’re ranking high?
There are a few other tools if you delve further into this site and it’s nice to see Australia at number 6 worldwide for Twitter users.
Twitter Grader - Country Rank
I hope that some of these tools prove useful. There are many out there but these are the ones I’ve found the best of the free Twitter tools. Just don’t expect the clock to stop while you’re playing!
