Sabrina mentioned Hoot Suite and Buffer, both of which are platforms that allow you to monitor several twitter accounts, schedule tweets in advance, and more!
RebelMouse is a tool for collecting and aggregating and displaying tweets on Twitter that use the same hashtag. There’s a WordPress integration that allows you to put these tweets on your B@B blog! For example, check out SimplicityArchive which (for a short period of time) aggregated tweets labelled “simple living”.
