Twitter Alibis is a fun site where you can simply enter your username and password to have automatic messages replied to your other fellow twitters.

For busy people, this might be a fun way to create an “alibi” for your Twitter account.

Fuzz, a music portal/social networking site, has launched Blip, basically a Twitter-clone for Music lovers.

The most outstanding feature is that when people “blip” instead of “twitt”, they can link an MP3 song straight from the Fuzz database. This feature is really cool as I am actually listening to an MP3 “blipped” by one of Blip users.

Great stuff, although I am not an avid Twitter, I will be an avid Blipper as now I can hop from song to song.

But if music is indeed a significant part of Pownce’s future, then Blip is one step ahead. Call it “Twitter for Music” since it’s essentially just that: a way to suggest music and share your thoughts about it with a network of contacts.

The beauty of Blip is that, unlike with Pownce, no file uploads are necessary. Just search for the song you have in mind and Blip will grab it from Seeqpod, Skreemr, or parent company Fuzz’s own database of music. Your followers (”listeners”) can hear full versions of the songs you post using a Songza-like player at the bottom of the page.

Here’s an impressive open-source Twitter Desktop Client that was just launched called Spaz.  I do love open-source platforms and soon SiteHoppin will be going open-source too.

For what I can tell, this site has potential to grab some “free” developers for its open-source platform as it supports Mac, Windows, AND linux.  Great stuff guys, keep ‘em comin’.

Newcomer Spaz is a cross platform desktop Twitter client based on Adobe Air. Not only is Spaz open source, it’s also quite slick. It simply looks good. Users will appreciate its simple yet elegant design. They’ll notice that it’s ad-free too. Spaz is completely customizable as well. Users can design their own themes with a little CSS. There are several views—you can see your own tweets and also the tweets of your followers, along with direct messages and the public timeline. Users can add favorite messages and delete old messages. You can be notified of new messages via Spaz’s Tokyo Train Station sound set. Spaz is free to download—you will of course need to load Adobe Air first, if you haven’t done so.
