Just when you thought there couldn’t or maybe “shouldn’t” be any more Twitter tools, yet another Twitter Application comes along. The three tools below allow you to track the most popular talked about topics that are going on in the “Twittersphere” at a moments notice.

Twit scoop

Twit scoop, uses an automated algorithm to scan tons of tweets every minute, and uses a tag cloud,to show you the most recently used words. Top words are displayed in bold and the most popular words are shown even bigger. You can hover over the word to see the most recent tweets with that word.

You can enter a search on the right side to see the most tweeted conversations that match your search term. You can also see a graph of your search results.

Tweetscan

Tweetscan is a similar search tool minus the graphical features. The Tweetscan home page displays the most popular tweeted words in a tag cloud with the more popular words displayed in larger font sizes. Click on a word and get the search results of all tweets with that word. You can search by keyword and twitter use. You can setup a search of up to 5 phrases and Get updates via email, rss

Summize

Summize is more of a bare bones twitter search tool. You don’t get any tag clouds here dude.

What you do get is a simple search page (think Google search). Type in your search term and get back the resulting tweets with the search term which basically looks like the search results you’d get if you searched on your own Twitter.com homepage. On the right hand side you’ll see sections for trending “twitted” topics and so-called “nifty” queries. Clicking on the advanced tab link will allow you to search by people, places, dates and attitudes.

The list of Twitter tools grows nearly every day. Check out the search and tracking tools above and see how they can be useful in your social media marketing efforts or just to keep up on your areas of interest!
