"Twitter has announced that its Certified Products Program, a\u00A0list of companies using Twitter data in approved ways, is expanding with 11 new services targeted specifically towards international businesses across Europe, Japan and Latin America, in addition to the US.\r\n\r\nAccording to Certified Products Program manager\u00A0Zach N. Hofer-Shall,\u00A0&amp;quot;Certified Products have been largely U.S.-focused,&amp;quot; but now Twitter is &amp;quot;extending the program\u2019s global footprint.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nMore specifically, Twitter has added the following tools and services:\u00A0Brandwatch,\u00A0BuzzFinder,\u00A0Curatorr,\u00A0Engage Manager,\u00A0Flowics,\u00A0NTT DATA,\u00A0Offerpop,\u00A0Scup,\u00A0TRUE TELLER SocialDesk,\u00A0SocialGuide Intelligence, and\u00A0Wayin.\r\n\r\nThis is the second time Twitter has expanded its program since launching it in August 2012. In January, Twitter added nine companies, including\u00A0Adobe Social, Sprout Social and Simply Measured. In total, the program now contains 33 companies, and Twitter details that\u00A0it &amp;quot;will continue to grow with small quarterly classes.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAs we've previously detailed, the\u00A0Certified Products Program is more than just a marketing tool for these partners and for companies looking to use Twitter data more effectively; it's how Twitter shows developers what it wants them to build. That means no clients, or anything else that duplicates functionality.\r\n\r\nImage credit:\u00A0Charles &amp;quot;Skip&amp;quot; Martin"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
