I recently released a small Twitter App called Twitter Critter and in order to generate some traffic for my new site I decided to submit it to various Twitter App Directories.  It’s n easy way to generate some outside links to my site and get the word out, all the working directories I could sniff out are listed below:

http://twitdom.com/
http://twitterlittlestar.com/
http://twittown.com
http://oneforty.com/
http://tw1tter.com/
http://bustatweet.com/
http://www.twit-apps.com/
http://www.twtbase.com/

Know any other directories?  Please let me know in the comments 🙂

Ge.tt is a new “unlimited” file sharing service.  It’s super simple, no size limits, no sign-up required.  If it sounds too good to be true, then we’re on the same page.  This is not the first “unlimited” file sharing service to come around, but hopefully this one will last longer than it’s predecessors.  The ability to send large files without hassle or cost would be a huge convenience.

Planning on running a Twitter Contest?  I’ve complied a list of some of the contest listing services I’ve used to try and get the word out!

I came across this website that measures your internet connection speed so I thought it should give it a shot.

Interestingly enough when I first ran this test the server that it pinged was provided by Dreamhost! Same people who host my website – it’s nice to see them out there doing digital good 🙂

I tried it out with two different providers and here are the results:

SAVVIS communtiations: Download 33Mbs Upload 28Mbs
Road Runner: Download 12Mbs Upload .86Mbs

Clue is a website that will take a screen shot, show it to users for a few seconds and ask them what they saw.  It’s a way to get some input on the first impression your website gives.  But when most of the answers relate to color I’m not sure how much you can glean from that information…

Still, it’s free and super easy to set-up.  And you might discover some interesting reactions to your website.
