  2 | Pa g e T w i t t e r T o o l s B o o k . c o m After researching over a thousand Twitter Tools for the Twitter Tools Book I came across many tools that tried to add value by presenting a different way to visualize or analyze your tweets, the people in your network, and the tweets from the people in your network. Many tools tried to add value and failed. At least they tried. The following tools, however, stand out in my mind as exceptional or entertaining and I recommend you check them out if you want to analyze and visualize your activity on Twitter. I hope you enjoy this report and if you do tell your friends that they can get a copy too by sigining up for our free Twitter Tools and tips eCourse: http://twittertoolsbook.com/twitter-ecourse/ Cheers,

The only downside to this app is that there are no links to the profiles, you need to enter the usernames into Twitter directly to check people out, and longer usernames cannot be entirely seen.
