“140-character status updates to a network of followers.” That makes Twitter sound simple. But in fact, the social information platform has grown to be much more complex than its 140 character-limit suggests. The site not only connects people, but has also become an intricate information resource for everything from news to shopping deals.

Yet in many ways, the site’s actual functionality hasn’t exactly kept up with user interactions. Twitter’s interface has remained simple, which is why a lot of tweets take place through third-party sites and applications that make the experience more useful.

We’ve compiled a list of the top 20 third-party websites for making your Twitter experience more useful and easier to manage. Although this does not include the many desktop or mobile applications that are available for Twitter, we hope that it will make your browsing experience more enjoyable as you dive into the Twittersphere. Also, as a one-stop shop for Twitter apps, check out OneForty. We’d love to hear what’s missing from this list, including sites that you find useful in the comments.

Listropolis' Take:

It's another Mashable list, so of course it's great. If you're not already using web apps for Twitter, there's a good chance this post will change your mind.

25 Seriously Disturbing Serial Killers from Around the World

Posted on 13 July 2010 by admin

From Source: daddu.net

I watch a lot of scary movies. Vampires, werewolves, zombies… they’ve got nothing on one other group when it comes to scaring me — serial killers. Even when they’re just fictional characters, I find serial killers to be terrifying not because I expect to come across one any more than a movie monster, but because they represent something real.

These awful excuses for human beings do exist, and they pose a real threat to society. They come in all shapes and sizes, colors, and races. Today we’ll take a quick look at 25 serial killers from around the world. There will be some of the more well-known U.S. and other serial killers, but we’ll also have some from places like Russia, Indonesia, Mexico, China, and more. They aren’t all the most famous serial killers. You’ve probably never heard of some of them. And some of your “favorites” won’t be included here. This list is a little different.

Rather than focusing solely on well-known serial killers (although some will be included), we’re looking at a more diverse group — both men and women, different races and nationalities, etc. Even more importantly, I wanted to take a look at some of the world’s recent and distant serial killers with some of the most disturbing motives or stories.

Keep in mind…. I’m not claiming these are THE most disturbing serial killers. There have been too many for me to ever know about them all, and that would be subjective. These are just some examples of particularly disturbing individuals that caught my attention or made me cringe. If other serial killers top your own personal list, feel free to leave a comment below to tell us about them.

Listropolis' Take:

All the big names are here. I've always been interested in what makes a serial killer tick, and this list kept me busy exploring for almost 30 minutes. Good stuff.

5 Events and Incidents In Video Games

Posted on 06 July 2010 by admin

From Source: Kokugamer

Every so often, events that transpire in video games demand the attention of gamers, the media, and politicians everywhere. Sure some of these events stir up a bit of controversy, but others tell tales that we just marvel in, and become completely amazed that something like this could actually happen. Some of these events create frustration, while others create a feeling of unity and belonging. This is a list of 5 events that I reflect back upon and really consider that gamers have really understood the importance of creating experiences for themselves. Whether their good or bad, or even odd and just nearly unthinkable experiences.

Listropolis' Take:

I'm not a gamer, so I have no idea if this list is any good, but it's trending, and we want to keep our gaming fans happy. :)

Rebecca Zook is an online female math tutor who has been helping students get math into their brains for seven years. She blogs about learning at Triangle Suitcase.

We’ve sorted the contenders from the pretenders and found five genuinely fun ways to help your kids learn math this summer. These unique technologies go way beyond the world of flashcards, and use surprising tools including rap music, adaptive technology, psychological research and wailing guitar solos.

They’re fun. They’re easy to use. And they aren’t lame.

Listropolis' Take:

Not your typical Mashable post, but it's surprisingly interesting. If you don't have children, you can probably skip this one, but if you do...this list contains some great sites to help with math.

The new Apple iPhone 4 is out and iOS 4 Gold master edition has been seeded to all developers who are eagerly waiting to make feature rich iOS 4 compatible apps.

With iPhone 4 sales already surpassing 1.5 Million mark and Apple opening up a store for iOS 4 compatible apps it is very clear that the future is open for iPhone Game and application developers to explore. However game developers need to keep in mind few important iPhone 4 features while developing iOS 4 compatible games.

Few are the important iPhone 4 features which iPhone game developers should not miss out on.

Listropolis' Take:

The crew here at Listropolis has made the switch to Android, but we're still huge Apple fanboys, so we don't mind a few iPhone lists from time to time. There's nothing new in this post, but it's a simple, in-your-face, list for game devs.

30 best free Android apps

Posted on 02 June 2010 by admin

From Source: TechRadar

OK, so the Android Market is more akin to Lidl or Asda than the iPhone's enormous, indulgent Selfridges-at-Christmas time approach, but the open source nature of Google's OS means there's plenty of innovation to be found on its budget shelves.
And best of all, most of the good stuff on Android is free, thanks to the work of developers who do it for love alone. These 20 free Android apps should be any Android owner's Day One installs...

Listropolis' Take:

I love my Nexus One. If, like me, you're making the switch to Android from an iPhone, this list will come in VERY handy.

The Top 100 Cooking Shows of All-Time

Posted on 26 May 2010 by admin

From Source: thecooksden.com

From the moment I sat down to watch my first episode of "The French Chef," I was hooked on cooking shows.

In fact, based on the number of hours I've spent studying Julia, Gordon and Alton, I ought to be a superchef myself. Alas, that's not the case. But if there's one thing I can do better than Chef Tell, it's tell you about the best shows in the genre.

And with a dizzying array of shows aired on entire networks devoted to cooking, you're going to need a roadmap.

So, with that in mind, here is our list of the "Top 100 Cooking Shows of All Time." Read it to re-visit some of your old favorites, or study it carefully to discover some new gems.

Either way, enjoy the list, let us know what you think and, please, no wagering.

Listropolis' Take:

Very solid list of cooking shows. Each one has a video snippet and has been ranked on entertainment and education value along with the tastiness of what they prepare. If cooking is your thing, you'll want to make sure you check this out.
