Here are 3 cool Twitter addons for you Twitter freaks.

#1 Twellow
Twellow allow users to browse other twitters based on their interests. Twellow only allows users to put themselves into 10 categories which prevents people from stuffing themselves in every category in a sad attempt to get followers. The site itself could use a redesign, but it’s a great tool.

Kanye West does not Twitter

September 17th, 2009 20:23

A ton of buzz surrounding Kanye West lately for disrespecting Taylor Swift at the MTV VMA awards. Kanye has been called an idiot by President Obama, Pink said Kanye didn’t have a friend in the world, and fake Kanye Twitter posts have been popping up all over the place. Just for the record according to Kanye: “(This spaz comes courtesy of losers making fake Kanye West Twitter accounts) I DON’T HAVE A FUCKING TWITTER… WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER??? I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I’M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I’M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I’M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I’M NOT AND I’M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN’T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF. THE PEOPLE AT TWITTER KNOW I DON’T HAVE A FUCKING TWITTER SO FOR THEM TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO POSE AS ME AND ACCUMULATE OVER A MILLION NAMES IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DECEITFUL TO THERE FAITHFUL USERS. REPEAT… THE HEADS OF TWITTER KNEW I DIDN’T HAVE A TWITTER AND THEY HAVE TO KNOW WHICH ACCOUNTS HAVE HIGH ACTIVITY ON THEM. IT’S A FUCKING FARCE AND IT MAKES ME QUESTION WHAT OTHER SO CALLED CELEBRITY TWITTERS ARE ACTUALLY REAL OR FAKE. HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW …. WHY? … BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!!!!!! ”

Twitter is expected to add a feature to it’s service Thursday morning that would allow users to make 2 minute phone calls to other users from their cell phone or pc using a service called Jajah. The service would allow users to remain anonymous and protect their real phone numbers from showing up. This could be a real winner for Twitter if the feature catches on. Jajah is a service similar to Skype.

Twitter updates it’s terms so that your Tweets now belong to you the user, however Twitter can use or modify your Tweets however they want. Facebook caused a ruckus earlier this year when it updated it’s Terms and had some vague data retention policies in place
