On twitter quite a few people seem to spew all sorts of "Twitips." A recent one was "11 Useful Twitter Tools That Don’t Require Your Password."
I decided to check 'em out for you. Here are my reviews in 140 characters or less.

1. TwitterFriends - Interesting! Graphics are hard to read. See conversations, friends, network. http://tinyurl.com/8fjbxr
   
2. Friendorfollow - Nicely done! shows followers, fans & friends. Deserves a look http://friendorfollow.com/m...
3. Tweetstats - Number of tweets/day, month, who you reply to. So-so. Kudos for strength: @Zaibatsu's stats http://tinyurl.com/nn9ckf
4. Twitter.grader - Above average. gives a tweet cloud, rank, followers w/history, summary info http://twitter.grader.com
5. Nearbytweets - Interesting & a bit frightening! who's tweeting near you? deserves a look http://nearbytweets.com/
6. Retweetrank - Gives a percent of retweets. Not so interesting. http://www.retweetrank.com/...
