Back from the ‘Twitdom Break’
I’ve been away from blogging here at lab209 for about a week now. My focus was on getting some traction going on Twitdom. Twitdom has had a very good launch with some good coverage in the blogosphere, including a coverage from Mashable.
I will keep spending some time on Twitdom on a daily basis henceforth, but would be back to blogging as usual on lab209.
If you haven’t yet visited Twitdom, do so now. Its a Twitter Applications Database and has over 140 applications covered so far. The number will grow to over 200 fairly shortly.

The Twitter Applications Database: Twitdom
I am pleased to announce the launch of Twitdom, a Twitter Applications Database.
Twitter, a micro-blogging platform, has become a part of the daily lives of millions of people (tweeple!) you believe in the concept of online social networking.
The plethora of applications launched for Twitter is unparalled. To help you sift through the large number of applications, so that you can find just the one you needed, we launched Twitdom.
We still have a huge backlog of applications to add to the database. This will surely be a never-eneding process, and this is the purpose that Twitdom serves. As new applications for Twitter are launched, be sure to check them out at Twitdom.

Twoogie Howser M.D.: Twoogify your Tweets!
Twoogie is a pure time waster! It help you ‘twoogify’ your Twitter tweets.
From their about page:
Twoogie, M.D. is a tribute to the greatest kid-doctor who ever lived. Once a week nearly two decades ago, the then-underaged Neil Patrick Harris amused, enlightened and inspired us with his vague, bite-sized ramblings, typed out on his prehistoric IBM PS/2. His journal entries were poignant, erudite snippets of genius-level introspection, and as it happens, quite a few of them were less than 140 characters long. Twoogie, M.D. is an attempt to recreate that magical anachronism, and bring the teenage wit and wisdom of Doctor Doogie to a new breed of ADHD-addled netizens.
If you really have lots of time in your hands and don’t know what to do, go ahead and twoogify!!
