So, in the light of this morning& #39;s Twitter madness I decided to cull connected apps.

I have 90 of the things.
A bit of a mobile device graveyard among these add-ins.

Twitter For Blackberry
Twitter for Windows Phone
Diaspora! Does anyone else remember Diaspora?

A quick Google search finds @mpesce quoted in a story about users quitting Facebook over privacy fears for this & #39;privacy aware& #39; service.

In 2010.

Those were social media& #39;s optimistic days. :)
Klout! OMG, Klout. Remember when we paid attention to that stuff?

And, yes, Peerindex and SocialRank.
A bit of sadness to see BizSpec there, Business Spectator was a key part of my descent into journalism..
http://Stawberryj.am"> http://Stawberryj.am ? All I can think is I was drunk when I installed this on Tuesday, August 23, 2011.
It was 7.07am though. Then again, I was freelancing in those days.
Twitpic. Made redundant by one of the few Twitter upgrades that added useful features for users.
It& #39;s interesting excavating the evolution of social media and my own failing career through the app list -- all the blogging tools from the days we naively thought we could make money out of online publishing.

Goodbye Triberr, Tweepi, Crowdbooster, Audiense, et al.
A whole bunch of erased tweet trackers. I shudder to think at what they could have been harvesting.
The community builders. Back when we actually wanted friends on Twitter. :)

Goodbye ChimeIn, Contaxio, and Twello.
Ecofon. Another useful tool destroyed by Twitter& #39;s war on its developer community. Ping @franksting
The newsreaders. I& #39;m a little wistful about these apps. It was a time when we all thought social would create new media revenues.

Goodbye News360, CircaNews, http://Unmissab.ly"> http://Unmissab.ly , NewsBlur, and Summify.
Into the category of & #39;what was I thinking?& #39;

Pay With A Tweet
Follower managers. I have no idea why I have so many of these.

TMassUnfollowTool, Qwitter, Follower Filter, and Audit Your Followers.
More dead services: Storify and Delicious. I miss Delicious.
And now I mop up the rest of the apps. A pretty motley crew that won& #39;t be missed and what were probably gleefully hoovering up my data. Time for dinner.
One more -- Posterous. Remember how we could send tweets by email?
