The Beginner's Guide to TweetDeck https://mashable.com/2013/11/07/tweetdeck-beginners-guide/ The Beginner's Guide to TweetDeck Twitters Official Desktop Client
TweetDeck's development path might look more like a roller coaster than the typical incline, but it's for good reason. After Twitter bought the app in 2011, TweetDeck pulled support for various social networks — most recently Facebook — and dropped its mobile apps in order to focus on its core purpose in desktop form: Twitter.
Social media managers and casual tweeters alike can benefit from TweetDeck's organizational tools, such as customizable columns, multiple account toggling and scheduling. With a modern, clean design and automatically refreshing feeds, TweetDeck's utility comes in its simplicity and ease in setting up.
What to Do When You Spam Twitter https://mashable.com/2013/10/04/twitter-spam-hack/ What to Do When You Spam Twitter
Receiving spam is bad enough, but when you're the one doling it out, it feels even worse. It can cause you to lose followers, infect your friends' accounts or computers and put your own account in danger.
It's important to understand how Twitter spam is generated and what it looks like. The only way your account can generate spam is if it's been hacked.
That person or entity then uses your account to send out tweets and DMs with links to spam sites or ads, and those who click may jeopardize their own accounts with hacks or computer malware.
Twitter Quitters And The Unfiltered Feed Problem http://techcrunch.com/2013/10/05/sorry-my-feed-is-full/ Twitter Quitters And The Unfiltered Feed Problem
At its heart, Twitter is a firehose. Everything you tweet shows up to every one of your followers. It’s what makes Twitter feel like the real-time pulse of the world. But it could also be preventing Twitter from growing. Follow too many people, and you lose track of those you love and stop following anyone new.

This page maps the last geolocalized tweets delivered by the twitter stream API.
Map data is updated in real-time - YES - IN REAL-TIME - and we keep "only" the last one million tweets.

Play with filters and check the nice heatmap rendering
We hope you have fun with it.

HootCourse http://hootcourse.com A HootCourse is an online classroom. And then some.
Instead of cumbersome forums or complicated lesson-plan formats, HootCourse uses a combination of the most popular social networks and blogging platforms to provide a new type of online classroom.
HootCourses are built on tweets and status updates in real-time.
There's no particular structure to them, at least no more than a classroom with chairs and a blackboard; they're a simple construct that lets a teacher and pupil interact.
Most online learning solutions have the same problem. They try to be a virtual teacher instead of a virtual classroom.
HootCourse sticks solely to the role of classroom. It's a virtual environment built to facilitate the free-flowing dialogue of an educational setting. Like a real-world classroom, it leaves teaching materials and format to the teacher.
Students and teachers can sign in with either Facebook or Twitter.
