Twordy is an app that allows users to create Twitter updates longer than 140 characters.

Features:

• enhance existing Twitter account by allowing updates over 140 characters, with a link to the extra part of the update
• easy to use interface
• ability to format longer updates
• ability to send DM
• preview updates before posting

The Good:

Twordy is an excellent tool when you are blogging on Twitter and 140 characters just aren’t enough for what you have to say. Updates are sent to Twitter including a link back to Twordy with the entire text. You can also view your archived “Twordys”.

The Not-so-Good:

Just about the only thing we didn’t like about Twordy is that it cuts off the first part of your update at exactly 140 characters, whether you are in a middle of a word or not. Everything else is great.

Twiffid is a web app that allows users to view the headlines of the websites their Twitter friends are blogging about.

Features:

• login with Twitter credentials
• view headlines of websites mentioned by those followed on Twitter
• RSS feed available

The Good:

If you want to know what the people you follow are blogging about on Twitter (or what websites they are referencing), then Twiffid is the app for you. The homepage also shows a list of most-clicked headlines.

The Not-so-Good:

The utility of Twiffid seems a bit limited. It does provide a single venue for viewing the blog entry titles of those you follow on Twitter, but that’s it. A fair amount of real estate is taken up on Twiffid with self-promotion (including a tweet promoting Twiffid you will send out from your account if you forget to unclick the checkbox). That’s fine, as long as there is value apparent.
