Hummingbird

Saleh Alzaid — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:04:05 +0000

Hummingbird is an intelligent Twitter marketing tool. It targets and auto follows Twitter accounts based on keywords. It also provides stats and reports of your account, followers, and interested tweets.

As an Adobe Air app, Hummingbird supports Windows and Mac OSX (it should support Linux though it’s not written in Hummingbird website. Strange uh?). One cool feature of Hummingbird is that it supports 3rd party plugins and most of them are free. Unfortunately Hummingbird itself is not free and kinda expensive.. 197$! and there’s not trial version to test.. At least the screenshots shows some of the mentioned features.

Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
Very solid interface	Very expensive! 197$
Has huge number of sophisticated features	No trial version to test
Supports multiple accounts
Intelligent and automated solution

TweetBlocker

Saleh Alzaid — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 17:39:14 +0000

TweetBlocker helps in identifying the spammers in your followers. It’s very simple, just provide a twitter username and TweetBlocker will check its tweets and rank the user with a grade from A to F. Or you can login and it will check all your followers for spam tweets.

The application is pretty similar to TwitBlock app. The big advantage of using TweetBlocker is its ranking for the twitter users (A to F) rather than saying a twitter account is a spam or not as TwitBlock (which is not accurate all the time).

Greet tool to block spam accounts.
