I think knowing which class an app falls into will help us do better when trying to make recommendations or make apps discoverable. @kyle – Agreed, that the popularity/quality of apps like yours need to be based on different metrics than clients, etc. I had meant to draw the “services” class broad enough to encompass apps like yours that provide value in some fashion using Twitter, but are not regularly tweeting on a user's behave.

I've written one such app at <a href="http://twilk.com" rel="nofollow">http://twilk.com</a> . I would call it a helper app because it helps people make their Twitter profile better. In my specific case it pulls your Twitter friends profile photos, sorts them by how much you talk to them, and aggregates them into one photo which it then uploads as your Twitter background.<br><br>I'll be honest, I don't know how you guys would be able to determine the popularity of these kinds of apps without the application developer just telling you how popular they are. My app allows you to publish a status message upon upload, but not everyone who uses the app opts in to that. I might change that in the future though.
