Twummize

Twummize puts Summize (now Twitter Search) and Twitter in the same window using a split screen.

Use Quicksilver to Search Twitter

Robin Yang has posted a tutorial on how to use Quicksilver, a Mac OS X tool, to search Twitter. According to her, “Quicksilver is an application launcher, but also a hotkey binder, a web search, a system search, a music controller, a note taker — all depending on how extensible you want it to be." For the details on how to set up the Quicksilver trigger, read her post here.

Roomatic

Roomatic is a experiment to create a chatroom-like user interface on top of Twitter. It uses the Twitter Search JSON API (previously Summize) to poll for Twitter updates with the room’s name in it. Posts from Roomatic are automatically marked with the room name. Room names can also be full urls (for example: http://tinyurl.com/3c9ljq). Users can also use #hashtags to differentiate rooms and help narrow conversations (use %23 in front of the room name).

Here are some popular rooms:

1. roomatic
2. iphone
3. %E6%B2%89%E9%BB%98%E7%8B%BC
4. communipedia
5. broomatic
6. confluence
7. Felix%20from%20Hamburg
8. FedoraCommons

Twitter Hashtags Script

This Greasemonkey script adds links to hashtags.org, twemes.com or summize.com to tweets on twitter.com.

Twitter + Summize Replies

A few people have created Greasemonkey scripts for Firefox that let you integrate Summize replies right into Twitter.com. This is very useful for when Twitter goes down and replies are taken offline.

The scripts are:

TwitterReplies: This script will replace the Replies tab with a search for ‘@<id>’ on http://summize.com.

Summize Replies: The ‘replies’ tab will link to a summize.com search for tweets directed at you.

Summize Replies on Twitter: Same thing, but description is in Japanese, but it should work, too. 

Fail Whale Shirt

“Fail Whale Ate My Balls” is a new t-shirt featuring the Twitter Fail Whale. The shirt is available for $20 at Mule Design Studio’s Feed Store.

Hahlo

Hahlo is the first iPhone/iPod Touch client for Twitter. The site combines the usual Twitter features with the power of Summize’s search. This is an iPhon-ready mobile web page, but the site looks good on Blackberry, too.

TweetWire

TweetWire provides citizen journalism via Twitter. The site is a "neo-newspaper" that grabs the freshest links posted to Twitter and then categorizes them, newspaper-style into sections like "Technology," "Sports," "Celebrities," as well as hot topics like "Election 2008" and "War on Terror." The site is powered by Summize, Yahoo Pipes, twitThis, SimplePie, and uses human moderators.

Twistori

Twistori is a social experiment using Twitter. The site pulls in tweets using Twitter search engine summize which match certain keywords like "i love," "i hate," "i think," "i feel," and "i wish." The results of the scan are then published non-stop on the Twistori web site in a Digg-Spy/Twitter-Spy-esque river of news.

Summize

Fast becoming the most popular of real-time searches is Summize, that lets you search Twitter for a particular word or phrase. Advanced options let you specify whether the tweet should be from a user, to a user, referencing a user, containing a tag, with attitude, or written in a particular language.
