twitter is growing rapidly so the twitter applications too. Lots of twitter applications are available on internet but here i am not going to discuss about the twitter applications, i will showcase the best designed and web 2.0 twitter applications. Designers really worked hard to design such applications according to web 2.0 standards.

Using Web 2.0

By using Twitter, Levy has a ready-made online network of people who share his professional interests, but who are not all government employees. Twitter lets users post short messages as long as 140 characters in length — called tweets — that other interested users can receive and comment on.

For example, Levy was trying to decide if a $1,500 Web 2.0 conference was worth the money to attend. With so much free information available from webinars and on blogs, Levy wasn’t sure he could justify going to the conference.

“So I threw out a question to my Twitter followers asking if they thought there was any value in this very expensive conference,” Levy said. His followers quickly responded that the conference was probably not worth the investment.

He also uses Twitter as a way to filter information. Levy chooses the people he follows, so he only tracks people talking about topics he’s most interested in.

Before Web 2.0

The typical methods for sharing government information with the public have included static Web sites, telephone information lines and printed publications from the Federal Citizens Information Center in Pueblo, Colo. The problem with these methods was that information too often was cast in government-speak or did not always reflect current events, said Joanne McGovern, a USA.gov Web content manager.
