What this app does is generate a “trending topics” list from JUST the people you follow on Twitter. You can sort for words or hashtags by timeframe. If you find a tweet you want to respond to or retweet, you can do that right from that app as well. This is all Friend Trend does. That’s it. And I like it.

How do we increase the signal to noise ratio in conference twitter streams? Is Twitter even the best place to share the content? These are some of the questions I’m left with after monitoring the REBCNASH stream on Twitter.

If Flickr, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube had existed in 1999, this post would be filled with images, and embedded videos. The story would contain links to tweets that illustrated perfectly how silly we all were.

If you’ve been with Twext.me from the beginning, you know that we’ve been using the various mobile carrier email-to-text options to deliver your Twitter mentions vis SMS.
