What&#8217;s more, you may have been using it for a while now, to share links, keep in touch with friends and follow the ups and downs of a few celebrities.<\/p>\n<p>But besides its main purpose as microblogging platform, and thanks to the <a href=\"http:\/\/apiwiki.twitter.com\/\">Twitter API<\/a>, Twitter has become also the ground base for a wide variety of apps and services, created by hundreds of developers worldwide. Thanks to this stream of creativity, Twitter is now much more than just a microblogging service. Here&#8217;s a small sample of everything you can do with Twitter &#8211; apart from exchanging 140-character long messages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twitpic.com\/\">TwitPic<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Probably one of the most popular Twitter-based apps, TwitPic lets you easily share photos on Twitter. Simply upload the image to the TwitPic site and it&#8217;ll be automatically sent to your Twitter account.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filetwt.com\/\">FileTwt<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Lets you send files online via Twitter, up to 20 MB in size. Files are shared in either in your public timeline or in a private message addressed to only one person (which requires signing for a free account on the app&#8217;s website).<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitvid.com\/\">TwitVid<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s similar to TwitPic, only that it lets you share videos instead. TwitVid supports multiple video sharing &#8211; in playlists &#8211; and can also capture the image source from your webcam.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twisten.fm\/\">Twisten<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; With Twisten you can discover new music everyday. This app searches Twitter for music-related tweets and lets you listen to those songs on the spot. There are also links to download the MP3 from Amazon or iTunes.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twtjobs.com\/\">TwtJobs<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Believe or not, Twitter can also help you get a job! Twtjobs lets you create and publish your &#8220;twitter resume&#8221;, or advertise a job post in Twitter. The 140-character limit can be quite challenging though.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twittercal.com\/\">TwitterCal<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; If you use Google Calendar, you&#8217;re going to love this one: TwitterCal lets you create new tasks and appointments by sending direct messages to a specific Twitter account.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/tweetstats.com\/\"><strong>TweetStats<\/strong><\/a> -Finally, a little nourishment for your ego: with TweetStats you can quickly generate statistics about your own Twitter account: how many tweets per hour do you send? Who do you retweet most?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unless you&#8217;ve been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you probably know what Twitter is.
