Tweetfave Stats After 30 Days

One month ago I launched Tweetfave – my new service which improves the usefulness of Twitter favorites. After using Tweetfave myself for so long, it’s been exciting to open it up for others, and to see where it goes. Here’s a quick look at some numbers since the launch 30 days ago…

Brief History of Tweetfave

Here’s a brief history of Tweetfave – my new free service that automatically emails your Twitter favorites to your inbox.
This project started as one of those “wouldn’t it be useful if…” projects, as an addition to Twitter. I was already using the Twitter favorite feature to bookmark tweets and links to read later, and wanted a way to automatically receive those (short of going to my profile page and viewing my own favorites). Combine that with an interest in learning the Twitter API, and the project was underway.
As I started writing this, I was a bit surprised as to just how long I’ve been working on this. Here’s the history timeline I came up with…

Tweetfave Software and Services

With my Tweetfave project finally launched and starting to get a little bit of usage, I thought I’d summarize some of the key building blocks for this project.

Introducing Tweetfave

Tweetfave is a free service to help you get more out of Twitter favorites. Tweetfave monitors your Twitter feed and sends the tweets you mark as favorite to your inbox. I built Tweetfave for myself (“scratching my own itch”) and it’s really helped me track and remember interesting tweets and links. It’s especially useful when reading my Twitter feed on a mobile phone. If I don’t have the time (or patience) to read linked articles on the phone, I’ll mark the tweet as a favorite, knowing it will arrive later in my inbox.

Domain Names and Web Hosting by Pair Networks

For the past 10+ years I have hosted this website and my other side projects through pair Networks. I’m also managing all of my domain names through the sister company pairNIC. As of today (2 more domains registered!) I have 17 domain names, 7 of which have live websites. The rest are on my “todo” project list. I’ve been very happy with pair, both on price and support. If you have a need for either web hosting or domain name registration, you should consider pair. If you use these links I’ll get a small referral which helps pay the bills.…
