Everyone has jumped on the Twitterati bandwagon in recent days and weeks; its been Twittermental.

Comscore now rates Twitter as the third most popular social network after Facebook and MySpace. It should be in its own (microblogging) category but whatever.

I came across this great Twitter tool today – monitter. Monitter allows you to view activity on Twitter in real time, which can be quite amazing to watch. Social media skeptics should take a look at this. Its kind of exciting to watch people express their personal view on a topic be it Greys Anatomy, HP or the weather.

There are a lot of tools out there and this post provides a rundown on eight of them. Welcome to the world of analytwits.
