After yesterday’s rise and fall of TWPLY, a new Twitter app that delivers @ replies to your inbox, but also sends a spam message to your Twitter followers when you sign up, we learn that the much-discussed app already sold on Sitepoint for just over $1,000.
Thank you to Jé Maverick who introduced us to a new, alternative service in the comments section of our TWPLY post.
Replies by Twitapps is a more elegant solution for receiving @replies on Twitter in your inbox – without requiring your Twitter password. It delivers your updates on an hourly basis or when your replies reach a threshold of 25 tweets (whichever is first).
1. Follow @ta_replies.
2. The Twitapps bot will follow you back and send you a direct message.
3. Reply to that DM with the email address where you want the tweets delivered.
4. Add twitapps@googlemail.com to your address book or safe senders list to ensure you get the emails.
Once you’re registered, you can control our bot using direct messages to @ta_replies. Send stop to stop getting emails and start to get them going again.
