To follow or not to follow?  This is a constant question asked by Twitter users.  Should I follow this user or ignore him or her?  Typical Twitter users will have to make this choice several times daily and the task of adding those you wish to follow and dropping those that you wish to ignore can become both time consuming and demanding.

What if this process could be simplified?  Well it turns out that this daily task for Twitter users can be simplified through the use of an app called Tweepler.  Tweepler simplifies the process of selecting who you want to follow and who you wish to ignore.

The app is simple to use.  You can choose to place twitter users in one of two buckets.  Bucket one is those you wish to follow and bucket two is reserved for those you wish to ignore.  If you choose to put someone into the ignore bucket, you will never get asked to follow that user again.

Here’s a piece from the site describing the purpose of Tweepler and what this app allows you to do.

-Simplistic and Intuitive Interface: We’ve made it simple and enjoyable to process your new followers and to access those you’re already following.

-Reduce Clutter: Archive followers out of the way by placing them in the Ignore bucket and never having to look at them again!

-Save Time: View detailed stats for new followers, eliminating the need to go to each individual profile and further speeding up the decision process.

As you can see, the usefulness of Tweepler is right up there with the best Twitter apps available.  Tweepler takes the most time consuming Twitter task, the tedious act of adding or ignoring other Twitter users and makes it simple.

Yes, there are Twitter apps to serve all of your needs and even apps that you could not possibly imagine how they could be useful to you.  To prove this, we will review a rather unique Twitter app called Twistori.  Now some Twitter users will find this app intriguing, though maybe not useful.  However, Twistori does make for an interesting read and some of what is seen through this app is as the commercials say “priceless”.

What is Twistori?  Twistori is a rolling screensaver app based off of Twitter comments and updates.  To use the app you simple click on one of the words found on the left of the screen.  The words include love, hate, think, believe, wish, and feel.  After clicking on one of the words, a rolling screensaver appears with Twitter feeds that start with the selected word.

Maybe it doesn’t sound that useful, but reading some of the comments can cause you to break out in laughter or cowl in disgust..  This is exactly where Twistori shines.  Reading the screen for a minute or two could make you laugh, could disgust you, or could upset you.  You never really know which emotion will be evoked.

Twistori is nothing more than an ever changing screen saver powered by updates posted on Twitter.  Its draw is the forthcoming nature of the comments found and the phrases displayed on the screen that are both unpredictable and at times downright rude.  This app fits its name, it puts a twist to the story of users.

If you’re looking for a large Twitter directory powered by the users themselves, then WeFollow has exactly what you’re looking for.

Kevin Rose, who also created Digg, developed this user-friendly Twitter directory.  Over the past year, WeFollow has steadily become one of the most popular Twitter directories on the net.

Every Twitter user can and should take full advantage of WeFollow. Users can choose to list themselves among millions of other Twitter users, or they can just browse the database at their leisure.

To add yourself to WeFollow, you must enter your location first and foremost. A large percentage of Twitter users prefer to network, meet and communicate with individuals who are close to their vicinity.

WeFollow has hundreds, and quite possibly thousands, of categories that users can choose as their hashtag. ‘Celebrity’ is currently the top category and ‘New York, NY’ is currently the top location on WeFollow.

WeFollow users are allowed to enter up to 5 hashtags. Submitting the appropriate hashtag is extremely important to finding like-minded individuals. If you are a Journalist and business owner, you would enter those two hashtags to meet people in that line of work.

As you type-in a particular hashtag, WeFollow shows a drop-down menu of suggested hashtags you can use. The drop-down menu also indicates the number of WeFollow users who have already used that particular hashtag. Users also have the option to create their own tags.

Claiming a hashtag that doesn’t pertain to your profession or line-of-work can work against your chances of being followed. The hashtags you use can either make or break your chances of being followed, so it would be best to choose wisely.

To complete your directory submission, you must allow WeFollow to tweet the link and hashtags as a status update to your Twitter profile.

WeFollow is used by celebrities, corporate types and your average Joe.

This application is a great way to meet new people who share the same profession and/or interests.

Just as one can be addicted to caffeine, alcohol, or practically anything else, the site called Twitterholic.com suggests that Twitter users can be considered addicts as well.

This Twitter App uses what they refer to as their Twittastic robot which scans through the Twitter timeline in search of new twits and tweets.  The robot performs this action several times per day and compiles the stats it garners to produce a list of Twitterholics.

The list essentially shows the most popular Twiiter users at an given time.  The best part about the app is that participation is essentially mandatory.  If you Twit or Tweet, they will find you, no need to sign up for anything or download a program.  Every user could potentially make the list at some point, but famous people tend to occupy most if not all of the top spots.

A brief look over the Twitterholic top 100 list for today shows many celebrities on the list including Oprah Winfrey, Ryan Seacrest, Demi Moore, Barack Obama and Ellen Degeneres to name a few.  Also on the list are sites like Twitter.com and emurse.com a jobsearch site.

Though it probably is not easy to make the list, some will certainly try.  Gaining a top spot on the list officially makes you a Twitterholic.  Visit the link to check the top Twitterholics any time.
