Eddy is a media aggregation platform built for the public display of up-to-the-minute activity on realtime services like Twitter. It offers three primary features: rapid collection and curation of what people are saying about an event, moderation of acceptable material, and speedy, reliable republishing of these conversational streams. Setup of the application is fast and easy, and made specifically for use by interactive media designers.
There is a new site I'm seeing called Buffer. It lets you find things and put them into your "buffer" - another autotweeting type service. You can use with facebook but beware that often Facebook makes things not typed "live" into facebook have a lower priority and not put them on homestreams.
Je ne sais pas trop à quoi ils jouent chez Twitter. Mais s'ils veulent transformer un service capable de transmettre des informations à une vitesse jamais atteinte et de générer des conversations d'un bout à l'autre du globe improbables en une chambre d'échos à rendre jaloux MSN, le Loft et le collectif des blogueuses maquillage, ils sont bien partis.
There's an emerging degree of swarming, coordination, just in time planning, that makes a cohesive group appear to exist out of a series of autonomous individuals. I've personally witnessed people get rides from airports at midnight after the transit stopped, people collectively swarm to try track down a stolen bicycle, venue changes for meetings where nobody misses a beat, random get-togethers facilitated by a real time awareness. There is a kind of real time responsiveness not present with services such as email, the telephone, the classifieds or even newspapers and television mass media.

"Botometer (formerly BotOrNot) checks the activity of a Twitter account and gives it a score based on how likely the account is to be a bot. Higher scores are more bot-like. Use of this service requires Twitter authentication and permissions."

The one thing you can say for certain about Twitter is that it makes a
terrible first impression. You hear about this new service that lets you send
140-character updates to your "followers," and you think, Why does the world
need this, exactly? It's not as if we were all sitting around four years ago
scratching our heads and saying, "If only there were a technology that would
allow me to send a message to my 50 friends, alerting them in real time about my
choice of breakfast cereal."

I, too, was skeptical at first. I had met Evan Williams, Twitter's
co-creator, a couple of times in the dotcom '90s when he was launching
Blogger.com. Back then, what people worried about was the threat that blogging
posed to our attention span, with telegraphic, two-paragraph blog posts
replacing long-format articles and books. With Twitter, Williams w
"Injecting Twitter into that conversation fundamentally changed the rules of engagement. It added a second layer of discussion and brought a wider audience into what would have been a private exchange. And it gave the event an afterlife on the Web. Yes, it was built entirely out of 140-character messages, but the sum total of those tweets added up to something truly substantive, like a suspension bridge made of pebbles."
