Does it sound strange that Kyle Sollenberger started a twitter app to help his facebook app?

That is a pattern I see where developers migrate from one app ecosystem to another focused on solving a problem for themselves. Earlier we heard a similar story from ChatterMonkey

Cotweet has used twitterville community to reach the early adopters of brands to help them build and scale their product.

Update: Co-tweet raised $1.1 yday. Also they are based out of Pennsylvania and are moving to silicon valley.

140conf was an amazing collection of minds, each with a unique voice in all areas of life using twitter for real-time conversations across a diverse geo, beliefs, passions and walks of lives.

There were many twitter app entrepreneurs, many using twitter as their platform, many connecting across the web, desktop and into other twitter apps. What was common was their passion and entrepreneurial energy!

Chatterbox had the best marketing give away with their squealing monkey. Founder Todd Clayton shared his story of how his team bootstrapped with consulting work to build out chatterbox with a passion to help us make sense of twitter data streams for brands.

Chatterbox started with a facebook app called “I have kids” and now has Chatterbox on twitter for brands. Classic example of organically scaling and growing in social app space! I love it!

Seesmic bought the twitter client twhirl and created Seesmic Desktop.

I was fascinated by Seesmic Desktop as they became the first to bring facebook connect integration to the desktop.

Seesmic CTO Johann Romefort talks about their vision to provide a seamless integration across multiple desktops and iphone. The key message I got here is they chose to build upon Twhirl and are focused on listening to users.
