58. Storm It

Sometimes, 140 characters is simply not enough to make your point – but not to worry, there is a very simple solution to that problem: Storm It (available for iPhone and Android phones), for creating “tweetstorms”. A Tweetstorm is a series of related tweets, posted one after the other, each one numbered as 1/X – like we often see on Kanye’s account:)

Tinder for Twitter? Well, kind of…this iOS app makes following and un-following on Twitter as easy as Tinder: simply swipe right to follow and swipe left to unfollow someone. It’s that easy – and kind of fun, too!

Cool

And now, for some tools that are a bit outside-the-box, simply cool and a few that basically didn’t fit in the other categories 🙂

1. IFTTT
2. Click to Tweet
3. Trends24
4. Zapier Tweet Alerts
5. Tagboard
6. GroupTweet
7. FollowFly
8. Who Tweeted It First 

60. IFTTT

IFTTT has a plethora of automations that you can set up for almost anything – from social media automations to your cars’ garage, there’s a little something from every part of your life.

Search for Twitter recipes to explore all of the different options. While it is an automation tool at heart, I feel like it’s better suited in the “cool” section – it’s not so much a Twitter scheduling tool, but more like a tool for automating your day to day life (including Twitter, of course!).
