Clik here to view. Curious how big the extended twitter universe (twitterverse) is, I decided I’d do my own investigation and provide results I found as a list of tools. Basically, it’s BIG. Google returns ~69.3 million hits for “Twitter.” Below is what I found relevant in the cream. You’ll notice I skipped Mac/PC clients. There are lots of great clients that people use for platform specific updates (perhaps a future blog post worth).

Special thanks to franticindustries, Mashable and all of the assorted the commenters for the initial inspiration for this list. Also see Twitter Fan Wiki for a comprehensive list of apps. There are some big ones missing I’m sure, so YMMV with that list as with this one over time. All links/sites were active as of May 27, 2008.
