2009 was a huge year for Twitter, and many people caught onto the movement in their own special way.  TweetBookz is one of those companies, which launched a series of customizable books that held all of your most memorable tweets.  Each book comes in either soft or hard cover, and can hold up to 200 tweets.  For $20, you can own your own, or gift one to your favorite follower!

I heart the YouTube man, but in reality, I am more like MySpace…bleh.  Did I just say that out loud?

Twitter apps have been popping up all over the place, and what better way for net junkies and Trekkies to get together than with this app. Now, you can send your tweets in Klingon [if you are a true Trekkie, I don't have to explain to you what that is LOL].

Okay, I know that title sucked, but whatever. Twiiter has just updated their mobile site and it is a lot better. Even if it is like 6 months too late. I mean thus update would have been awesome if their were not about a million mobile twitter clients out there now. But I digress. The new Twitter mobile, found at http://mobile.twitter.com has a great new look and is optimized for mobile web-kit browsers – Android, iPhone, Nokia S60 and Palm Web OS phones. However, Blackberries will work also.

The new site is built on Twiitters own APIs, and is a vast improvement over the current m.twitter.com site. The new site will be transitioning over to the “m” address eventually, but for now, use the mobile.twitter address to get the new site. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think in the comments.

Have you ever wondered how something becomes a trending topic?  Or how tweets end up as breaking news?  Check out the Journey of a Tweet, put together by Timon Singh, showcasing the journey your 140 characters could be taking.

Brizzly, which we have heard is the most loved Twitter client, just opened up its doors for the mass public. Previously, an invite code was required. They are still in beta, but from what we hear, it is more of a “Google Beta” than anything else. I have been using it all morning, and it looks really clean. It integrates videos and pictures right into your twitter feed and separates your Twitter and Facebook accounts. You should go give it a whirl and let us know what you think in the comments.

Every once in a while, a device will come along that will change the way we do things. A device that will organically create a movement with us that can not be help down by corporate overlords and greed. The Twitterpeek is not that device. And with that in mind, I refuse to write a lenghty post about what it can (Twitter) and can not (ANYTHING ELSE) do. Gizmodo and Engadget were nice enough to review it. May God bless them.

Google continues to find ways to remain the god of search engines (and email, hehe).  Soon you may find popular Twitter topics/updates in Google Searches.

At Google, our goal is to create the most comprehensive, relevant and fast search in the world. In the past few years, an entirely new type of data has emerged — real-time updates like those on Twitter have appeared not only as a way for people to communicate their thoughts and feelings, but also as an interesting source of data about what is happening right now in regard to a particular topic.

Given this new type of information and its value to search, we are very excited to announce that we have reached an agreement with Twitter to include their updates in our search results. We believe that our search results and user experience will greatly benefit from the inclusion of this up-to-the-minute data, and we look forward to having a product that showcases how tweets can make search better in the coming months.

What is Twalkin? from Twalkin on Vimeo.

Imagine actually hearing the most awesome and funniest tweets that you read everyday on Twitter. Twalkin will make that happen. It is a free app that allows Twitter users to obtain live voice connection with a simple press of a button. You can link up with one person or a group. Plus, you have total power over who is able to listen to your “twalks.”

This will probably put social networking on a whole other plane. What do you, my fellow nerds, think?

I realize that there are still some of you out there who are resisting the devilish grim of the Twitter birdie, asking yourselves, ‘why the hell do people want to know what I’m doing?’ Well, Manolith puts together a list of 10 times Twitter actually makes sense, even to the person who hates the idea.

Forget @replying, JAJAH [a VOIP company] is announcing a Beta of their JAJAH@call tomorrow.  Similar to Google Voice, you will be able to make calls through Twitter internationally for free, as long as they follow you back and have a JAJAH account.  The calls can be up to 2 minutes long, the verbal equivalent of 140 characters.  The other interesting part about the service is that no numbers are ever revealed; all the incoming/outgoing calls will show is the person’s username.  Integrating a calling service could potentially make Twitter even bigger than it already is, due to the anonymity of the calling as well as the instant access.  Brilliant.

If interested, head over to JAJAH and sign up.

I would write a long rejection of this based on my morals, but none of you would listen which would only make me hate you more. I introduce to you GhettaTweets. As you can guess from the name it turns your ordinary tweets into ghetto slang. I have to go throw-up now or shoot myself. Not sure which.
