Icotile

Icotile

Icotile is more a “friends” and “list”rnmanager for Twitter. This may sound like it has no bearing for business — butrnif used properly, it does. One of the most challenging aspects of Twitter isrnfollowing a feed that flies by faster than the eye can register. Icotile solvesrnthis problem by letting you create lists of people to follow. These lists canrnconsist of influential followers, consumers, clients, and more.

It’s easy to drag and drop followers into lists with Icotile.rnThis feature alone makes it worth its weight in bytes. After creating lists andrndragging users to your lists, you can follow those lists on your standardrnTwitter feed (or from one of the other apps). You can also add notes tornfollowers, which is handy when you’re trying to remember specific informationrnabout a certain follower. Icotile is free and can be used from either the websiternor as a Chrome app.

A couple of caveats here: If you follow a large number ofrnpeople, your desktop can get a bit busy. In addition, Notifier does have arnlimited scope of options. Still, you can select what to display (from tweets,rnmentions, and messages), you can make certain notifications sticky, you can setrnthe display timeout, and you can disable auto-scroll in your timeline.
