Despite Ryan's overwhelming negativity, today I will present my third and final (at least for a while) post about Twitter. Oddly enough I have seen a half a dozen posts about it in the last week. I think this phenomenon is because actual celebrities are now beginning to use it. Today's post is about some of the many websites that use the Twitter apps for a multitude of purposes.

I'll start with Twitterholic which shows you the top twitterers of all. Even though President Obama hasn't twittered since the election he is #1. largely because his campaign promised to announce his running mate by twitter first, he has a 60% lead over #2 Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg.com.

According to twitterholic I am the third most popular twitterer in Fayetteville NC. Behind this guy and this lady.

Next up is twitter grader. It ranks twitterers using some fancy secret formula in order to judge your influence and power among the community. It is no surprise that the twitter elite turns out to be a bunch of tech bloggers, because currently twitter is mostly used by techies.

According to twitter grader, I have a grade of 83* and am #2 on the elite list for Fayetteville NC. Again I am behind this lady.

Then there is twittemperature. This one is supposed to judge the relevancy of what you twitter.

I have no idea how this one works because I have gone from smoking hot to freezing cold in just a couple of weeks. Currently I'm 13° F whatever that means

Then there is tweetscan. It allows you to type in a word and see all recent tweets containing that word. Give it a try, it's pretty neat. Type in Brian Regan, or Obama, or Macaroni, or explosion.

Here's a list of real and fake celebrities on twitter

Try out some of these tools and tell me your scores and ranks.

*Obviously that's 83 girth units
