 I actually launched the beta late Saturday night and I'm just now getting around to posting something. Did you know there are hundreds of contests on Twitter right now? A lot of users do not realize people are giving away prizes just for some follow love. Many contests go unnoticed and end without a single entry. Meanwhile some popular users have thousands of followers and are faced with a somewhat daunting task when it's time to pick a winner for their contests. This site allows you to view and host contests on Twitter. The site is free to use, and does not require you to logon.
If you want to host a contest on Twitter® http://www.tweetswin.com/ makes it easy to do so. You can use this site to post a contest, gather statistics, and automatically choose a winner! Don't worry though, you're still in control and can manage the winner pool and cancel contests if necessary. Know what else? The site tracks your new followers and provides daily analysis. It will also show you who quit following you after your contest ended for up to 7 days.
Need help running a contest? Not on Twitter but want to market to it's users? I can help you with that as well
 I just launched tweetstacker.com, it's a very simple threaded Twitter client. It should be considered a funcitonal prototype or beta. I was tired of visiting Twitter.com to see what's new and finding 1 or 2 pages full of one person's ramblings. Obviously I want to hear from these individuals some of the time, but the signal to noise ratio eventually gets too high and I inevitably end up un-following them. It's also annoying not being able to see the message that people are replying to. When I first visit Tweetstacker.com it shows me the 20 most recent (unique) threads to update instead of the 20 most recent messages. It also shows me each person's stream if I expand their tweet, and it shows me the message they replied to.
That's right, a threaded twitter client that also has a very thin UI. Most of the work is done in a simple api that feeds the static html client.
I normally just leave the page up on my side monitor, it automatically adds new tweets to the top and caches and sorts everything. By the end of the day I can see a list that represents everyone I follow, everyone they replied to, and everything they said earlier ni the day. It's all threaded so its very easy to follow conversations.
 A new site just launched that I had a hand in. You can visit http://www.routeblast.com to get trip directions and distance information. It lets you see detailed information about a few different route types ( 3 for now ).
You can email the info to friends, or export it to excel. It's' fast, really fast. It's free and it uses several Google Map APIs.
