Are you ready to ride the Wave on September 30th – when Google will start sending 100,000 invites for the early test of Google Wave

The real-time communication platform has captured the imagination of countless communication, social media, and tech enthusiasts that want to get their hands on its game-changing features. It can import Twitter, provide real-time chat, play back past conversations, and even allows for drag-and-drop file uploads.

There are a lot of features, but it is unlike any other web product yet and thus takes time to learn. That’s why in July we asked an important question: is the world ready for Google Wave? Will there be widespread adoption, or will the ambitious project fall short of expectations? Will developers jump on the Wave bandwagon and build apps for it like they do for Twitter () and Facebook ()?

How many of you will switch to TweetDeck when it becomes available for the iPhone? Let me know.

Mashable broke the news that TweetDeck is coming to the iPhone at 9 PM PT, a play to expand its audience. That is not the end of the TweetDeck story, however. On top of the iPhone application, TweetDeck is releasing a new version of its desktop software, and it comes with a lot of new features.

“Block and Report Spam” button: Clicking on this button will not only delete the spam message, but it will block that specific user and report them to Twitter.

“Reply All” feature: You can now tweet to everyone who is mentioned in a specific tweet.

Multiple accounts and unlimited columns: Yes, two of TweetDeck’s most requested features have arrived.

These are just a few of the new features.

Twittelator Pro

I used Tittelator Pro to create my first podcast on Twitter. State of the Union asks @ricksanchezcnn if “Twittering” can be too much. My best feature is the Tap feature. You tap a picture to bring up more info on that user. You can reply, private, copy, retweet, email tweet and send to Instapaper by tapping the tweeter’s name. Follow links! Listen to MP3’s!

Peoplebrowsr offers different layouts of the streams according to the type of user you are. You are given the choice to run the app under Business mode, which is interesting given how Twitter, Facebook and others are now seen as marketing and PR tools.

Companies, restaurants, brands and celebrities all seem to use Twitter as a business platform in some capacity. On first glance, Peoplebrowsr’s bells and whistles seem to support the business community. Business mode lets users manage multiple usernames within one dashboard, conducts conversation threads within the client, and gives you the ability to share a “stack” via RSS or a URL link.

PODCAST

With TweetFunnel, managing your corporate tweeters becomes much more efficient and empowering! Staff tweeters each receive their own login to TweetFunnel and they can post their tweets to a central staging area for review. The designated Corporate Twitterer or (The Tweet Tech) then edits and releases new tweets to Twitter — either right after editing each tweet or by scheduling a “trickle” of Tweets that will post throughout the day.

In the podcast below, Sean Daily talks to representatives from TweetFunnel about the challenges of managing social media and Twitter within organizations as well as the recent 140 TC and TwitterCon conferences with Andreas Wilkens (CEO) and Nathalee Ghafouri (Marketing Manager) from TweetFunnel.

PODCAST

The new version also features a new button that will let you post a Tweet to multiple Twitter accounts at the same time.

Seesmic Desktop offers everything that Tweedeck offers and then some. Here are a few things that have made me take a second look at Seesmic Desktop.

Seeesmic says:
“We’re not resting on our laurels, yet. There’s still a lot for us to work on and optimizing Seesmic Desktop is one of them, along with a lot of other features. We’re really focused to listen, learn, adapt (h/t @armano) and more importantly, execute. Listening and working with the users like all of you makes it much more easier. We’re also trying to build up our help site and feedback site, so willing to listen and assess what’s needed.”

Seesmic provides anyone with an innovative way to communicate and connect  on Twitter.  Try Seesmic and let me know.  Follow me on Twitter @roseclark

EVENT HASHTAG:

#140TC

Each developer revealed a new Twitter application to hundreds of attendees at 140 | The Twitter Conference in Mountain View, CA.

TWILK
Twilk.com is a Twitter background generator, creating backgrounds “auto-magically” from the collective pictures of the people you follow.

FLAGGPOLE
Flaggpole is a place-based social network that connects people through places that are important to them. These places could be a zip code, a neighborhood, a park, church, a school, a club or a business. After identifying a place, users can form virtual communities related to that place’s function and use both micro-messaging and Twitter integration to organize meaningful interactions. Flaggpole can be used worldwide, though it is currently only available in English.

PUBLICITWEET
Publicitweet is a social media marketing application aimed at providing in-depth analytics for Twitter campaigns. The analytics go beyond the number of clicks and provide detailed information on which users had the most referrals and the overall reach.

JOBABA
Jobaba is a social marketplace for local services integrated with Twitter. When users need help getting something done, they can simply follow @Jobaba on Twitter and tweet the request with the keyword #ineed, and Jobaba will broadcast it to its network of service providers serving the user’s local area. If the service providers have the proper skills to perform the job, they can use Jobaba to engage the person in need, place a bid, or set up meetings. Anyone with skills and a desire to provide services can create a profile on Jobaba, start networking with potential customers, and bid on job requests through Twitter.

CHATTERBOX
ChatterBox is a collaboration platform used to track, categorize and respond to Twitter conversations. An intelligent, single point of access, this web-based interface pulls in conversations and creates a collaborative workspace that provides topical views of information – along with tools such as personalized views, assignment, categorization, prioritization, notifications and tagging – creating a more streamlined process to listen, organize and respond to conversations. As a result, social media power users and corporate teams can become far more effective in participating in relevant conversations, providing customer service, and generating stronger business leads.

TWEETFUNNEL
TweetFunnel provides editorial control for organizations of all types and sizes. It allows multiple contributors within a company to submit tweets for editorial review and approval before they are added to the company’s time line. TweetFunnel also allows editors to assign mentions and DMs back to appropriate contributors for their replies. There is in turn, an editorial review layer for these replies.

TWITTYLINKS
TwittyLinks lets you quickly tweet about any web page, without leaving the page. Each tweet builds your brand awareness, with a link to your own site. The more you tweet about interesting web pages, the more traffic you drive to your site.

TWITTFILTER

Twittfilter is a filtering application that scores your friends and followers using a variety of scoring techniques including update rate, friend/follower ratio, keywords, and more. Twittfilter has 3 main features: 1) Your new followers are automatically ranked and only those that score above a preset level are emailed to you. 2) Messages are not viewed by time, but by user/score and only the first 3 are shown, in case someone tweets too much. 3) Twittfilter is also a searchable address book organized by how you communicate.

Check out these apps after 140 | The Twitter Conference here on Twitter140.
