Twitter services: Summize and Tweet2tweet

Summize Conversational Search (20080516).jpg, originally uploaded by dccrowley.

Summize Is yet another tool that helps follow the conversation on twitter. You can enter a topic conversation and follow it. Ifind it work's fast... but As it is built on top of twitter (hehe) it all depends on how fast twitter is at that moment. What is cool though about summarize is that say during the chinese earthquake breaking news, you can follow everyone on that topic and not just your own twitter friends.

Louis Gray (one of the most prolific bloggers at the moment, in case you don't know!) has a post about tweet2tweet which is built on top of summarize. Here you can follow conversations between two people... very handy when lots of other contacts are having other conversations as well. Now you can just focus on the one. This is really good by the way.

I had been thinking there was not a twitter overview recently of services... and maybe I should make one myself. But Anton Johansson of Twingly.com beat me to it over at ReadWriteWeb with a post entitled 'The Most Popular Twitter Apps According to the Blogosphere'. So thanks Aaron for saving me the trouble ;)

You can also add summarize as a custom search engine to both Flock and Firefox browsers! That is really useful.
