Share5 twitter apps from the Triangle: @idek, @tweetgrid, @easytweets, GeoTweeter & just launched @getencouragedOnce again, I’m devoting a blog post to twitter on SocialWayne.com. The next post will be about some social media tools, I promise. Nevertheless, if you didn’t know, I reside in Raleigh, N.C., and we call the area the Triangle, which includes Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and surrounding areas such as Cary, Carrboro, Apex, etc. We’re also known as the Research Triangle Park, aka RTP, which is home to companies like Cisco, IBM and Sony Ericsson. As for startups in the area we have iContact, ruzuku, Carrboro Creative Coworking, Bronto, Unblab to name a few and recently some Twitter web based apps have been created right here in the Triangle. Here are five that I know of.
1. idek.net @idek
idek.net is a url shortener, you have a long url, we have some short ones to spare. Sounds like a fair trade.

5. GeoTweeter for iPhone [iTunes link]
This cool iPhone app puts the ‘where’ into your tweets! Messages automatically include a ’schmap.me’ link, showing followers your exact location with a configurable map icon: say more about places you visit with an optional photo and star rating.

As you can tell I’m proud of NC and the teams behind each site and speaking of startups this weekend in Raleigh, NC we’re having Triangle Startup Weekend. If you’re in the area come by and let’s launch another startup.
Do you know someone who created a twitter app? If so what state or city do they reside in?

Interesting list. Since you mention the URL shortener as a “fair trade”, you might want to consider this (completely free) Wordpress “Theme hack” to build your own Tinyurl using Wordpress in < 45 minutes:
http://3on.us/diy-tinyurl
Why would you want to do this?
You completely control the link appearance, the custom domain gets people curious on 1st encounter, higher click-through for semi-sensical URL extensions, avoidance of public services’ bugs/annoyances, and you retain all your click stats/data.
That’s for starters… there’s more.
