Twitmatic is simply one of the best twitter apps I have found to date and left me absolutely satisfied following a simple search query. I often like to research and develop my blog posts by looking and listening to video and trending discussions from Twitter. I often find it hard to search conversations and tweets from thousands of followers and require organization. Quite simply Twitmatic gives me what I need, when I need it most. Thousands of video links provided via tweets, playable within a simple interface and easily managed.

Below is a quick search I use daily for tracking the latest iPhone and Twitter Tweets  including a general News category.

What I found fascinating is that clicking through several links takes a minimal amount of time and all from within the same screen.  You will also find a real-time stat tally at the top of screen  indicating new video links since your last search.   Its great to search a current topic or late breaking story within moments vs. scanning multiple online news channels.  I found it to be very fast and efficient with ongoing timely improvements.  Finally, be sure and click through some of the Top Trending tags found to the left as demonstrated above.

New features are listed below found in the most recent release version 2 of Twitmatic:

• Users can now login to Twitmatic with their Twitter credentials, allowing them to follow/unfollow people without leaving Twitmatic, as well as Favorite a Tweet/video and access it from the Twitter Favorites list later.
• Users can now input a search term into Twitmatic, which pulls all back videos for them based on the search. One of the best things about Twitmatic is that the more people search, the better the index will be and the faster the results.
• If logged into Twitmatic with their Twitter credentials, users can save their searches as channels on a new left-hand navigation pane and come back to them in the future.
• Twitmatic constantly checks for new video results based on the channel the users is viewing; when new results come in, the user is notified via a message on the page and can simply refresh to see the new videos.
• A Video View and a List View, giving the user choice in how they want to see and respond to incoming tweets. And yes, users can now Reply to tweets in Twitmatic.
• Twitmatic now has a Back button that allows users to review videos they’ve already seen in the current session.

Be sure and follow Twitmatic on Twitter for the latest comments and updates.

It RAGES me! How about you? Comment on your Rage.

When I first heard about Twitter “The Microblogging phenomena that everyone seems to be talking about at the moment I really did wonder what the fuss was about. I thought it was interesting but it did not initially grab me.

Why would other people care about what I had for lunch, or who was at the airport and why someone was sad? And why would a business become involved in this, what possible purpose could it serve? Then I thought maybe it is about the cult of personality maybe it is about micro-fame and perceived short attention spans, I mean 140 characters did not seem like much.

What I have come to realize though is that, at its heart, Twitter is just a communication tool. Like the Web, and the phone and the telegram before it, it’s just a tool to let one person connect with another.

How Does Twitter Work?
Users have 140 characters to answer the question, What are you doing?” If you join Twitter you can follow” others, allowing their updates to appear on your home page. They can follow you, with the same result or you can also direct message them, but always in 140 characters or less.

Twitter communications can be viewed and updated on the Web, through desktop apps, and on mobile devices. My two personal favorites being tweetie and Tweetdeck, both of which allow me to interact easily whether at my desk or on the road.

Tweets (recent 140 character posts) tell you what people are having for breakfast, that they are worried about how their job interview went or that they are planning a romantic dinner with their partners. These can sometimes be very weird indeed if you spend time looking at the public twitter time line rather than just your followers.
