Twitoaster is a Twitter web application that threads and archives users conversations. The service is often used by journalists, bloggers or companies who need to collect, organize and keep a track of their Twitter mentions. For example, David Pogue, Robert Scoble and Google Enterprise are using Twitoaster. [1]
History
editThe service was created by Arnaud Meunier as an experimental tool in early 2009. It was quickly brought to Read Write Web’s attention as a solution for gathering @replies to a poll tweet.[2] But the service only became widely known when the New York Times columnist David Pogue used it to compile tweets for his book The world according to Twitter.[3].
In September 2009, Mashable showcased Twitoaster as a promising new software company in its Spark of Genius series: The combination of search, archiving, analytics and visual way of better following conversation threads makes Twitoaster a great tool for any Twitter user’s toolbox.[4]
Description
editTwitoaster groups replies and retweets with the tweets that inspired them, displaying Threaded discussions rather than disjointed tweets. All these conversations are archived and searchable through a conversational search engine. The service also provides analytics and statistics, showing for example, how many replies a Twitter member is generating and what day of the week, or time of day, seems to produce the most replies.
Twitoaster also has an API that allows developers to integrate its features into their own applications.[5]
