Ever since Twitter was launched in the latter half of 2006, it has grown from a small niche network to an incredibly popular one with millions of users who utilize the service to communicate with friends, broadcast events, and share breaking news. As many people claim, Twitter is a phenomenon.

But that’s not all you see of Twitter. Twitter has enabled developers to go wild building applications that can utilize the service for just about any possible type of activity.
