For some, it is not just enough to use Twitter. Some must worry about
how, when and why they use Twitter. It’s your life, you can be like that

analyze Twitter use, audience, news research and just plain old vanity.
Analysis
Twoolr.
Does a number of things–most interesting among them, it lets you compare yourself to other Twitter users, and graph your interactions with other people.
Trendistic.
Shows, over time, topic usage. For instance, oh gosh, it appears almost no one Tweeted about Gadaffi a month ago!
Grafitter.
Compiles your tags, keywords and conversants.
Research
Datasift.
It’s in beta, but here’s a video that shows how they’re letting you dig down into the origination of ideas or news.
Consolidation and Organization
Summify.
Delivers, by email, the most important “news” in your social network.

Tweetreach.
Tells you how many people saw a link, a name or a term across Twitter. For instance! Perhaps you want to know who is talking about “salmon.” Well, that’s easy to find out.
