Yammer
http://www.yammer.com
Yammer takes the familiar Twitter messaging system and applies it to internal corporate communications.
Yammer is a tool for making companies and organizations more productive through the exchange of short frequent answers to one simple question: “What are you working on?”
As employees answer that question, a feed is created in one central location enabling co-workers to discuss ideas, post news, ask questions, and share links and other information.
Yammer also serves as a company directory in which every employee has a profile and as a knowledge base where past conversations can be easily accessed and referenced.

Twellow

Twellow
Twitter is a popular communication service, and one of the best ways to get ahead in any business is by networking.
Twellow effectively merges Twitter's micro-blogging service and this professional pursuit within one easy-to-use site.
Even as people tweet about what kind of sandwich they're eating or movie they're watching, Twellow looks at their areas of specialization and job titles. This information then becomes the basis by which you can search for and sort folks. Collect enough useful contacts through Twellow, and you'll be well on your way to success.

TweetDeck
http://www.tweetdeck.com
TweetDeck enables users to split their main feed (All Tweets) into topic or group specific columns allowing a broader overview of tweets.
To do this All Tweets are saved to a local database.
Being database driven TweetDeck allows the user to continue twittering even when offline. Tweets and direct messages are queued and then sent automatically when back online.

Twitter - A Teaching and Learning Tool
In my experience, and in the short time that I have used it, Twitter has grown quickly to play a major part in the way that I interact with fellow colleagues and professionals from around the world.
In my classroom and with the children I teach it has been an exciting tool to utilise and support learning. However it is one of many tools that we have at our disposal. I do not see it replacing any of the others we use nor do I see the positive impact upon learning being exclusive to Twitter.

Twitturly: Tracking Popular URLs On Twitter
witturly operates similar to Digg.com, however instead of users voting sites up or down on our site, we monitor the Twitter public timeline for links inside the Tweets and consider each tweet with a link in it as a vote for that URL.
A major benefit of Twitturly over other popular news outlets is that Twitter often has the information first, thus anyone watching Twitturly will usually see news break before any other outlet has it.

TwitterFone

TwitterFone is great for when you're on the go - in the car, on a train, or running between meetings - and don't have WiFi or time to log on to the internet.

TwitPic lets you add images to your Twitter stream. There are several services that have either launched similar features within their own websites, or have latched onto the Twitter economy in order to do so, leaving me little commentary in regards to the actual TwitPic tool. However, there is a bit of commentary that I can bring up that relates to this growing Twitter economy.

Tumblr and TumbleBlogs
Am just not sure if I should list this as a "Presence Monitoring" application or as a new kind of Blog (which does not accept comments and the Posts tend to be shorter than normal)
To make a simple analogy: If blogs are journals, tumblelogs are scrapbooks.
You can also look at tumblelogs as slightly more structured blogs that make it easier, faster, and more fun to post and share stuff you find or create.

Twitter-fan wiki
Since the Twitter folks hadn't put up a wiki yet, it seemed like a good idea to get one going out of the community.
Lately there's been a bunch of scripts and other cool ideas pushed forward and it's finally time that we had a place to bring them all together.
