Shoutitout continues to roll out API partnerships, adds Hellotxt

Shoutitout has announced yet another 3rd party site that works for Shoutitout, Hellotxt. Hellotxt allows you to post to sits threw status update and attach certain things like videos, and an interesting feature, songs. Shoutitout's api has gotten allot more popular since they hired Noah Tomas, there new API director. This adds to the list of Seesmic, Pingfm, Twitterfeed, Tweeite (Twitter for iPhone), Gtalk and now Hellotxt. We aren't sure if they will add Hootsuit which they have been talking about adding (according to reports). We aren't sure if they will or not but if they do they also need to add Tweetdeck I think. Shoutitout could be becoming the new thing.
