Yeah just noticed last there was back on Jun 20th, SAD! Thought it would be neat to use for like really fast up to the minute passes of AO-7 to know what mode right NOW it is running in.
I have been listening for weeks for a "A" pass and havent heard one yet.

Howdy,
There also is the 1990's era Internet Relay Chat (IRC). It is mostly text based ascii characters without a lot of pictures. You need an IRC client to access this network, but it is free and open to the public. Chatzilla is an IRC plug-in for Firefox. mIRC is one of the stand alone IRC chat clients. Afficionados of IRC could point us to several other chat clients.
There is a mostly idle, but still available AMSAT chat on the servers named radiochat.org: You'll need to tell your IRC client: /server irc.radiochat.org /join #amsat
The Houston AMSAT net on Tuesday evenings is pretty much the sole remaining user on this AMSAT IRC chat. It is one of their ways of getting remote checkins to the net if you are out of range of the Houston repeater but have internet access.
When the flocks of cubesats get launched the university teams and amateur satellite operators congregate on the #cubesat chat channel:
/server irc.freenode.org /join #cubesat
If Internet Relay Chat is new for you just google and find a few dozen pages of how to do IRC. I'm not sure if a phone app exists for IRC; I think when IRC was invented touch tone phones were new ;-) ... but it still works!

Go to twitter.com and establish an account with your callsign as the id.
Get twitter app on your smart phone if you have one.
Start following all the sat ops. Then follow the sat ops that they follow.
Phone is most useful mode for twitter. Web interface is also ok.

Sorry,,
1. Good on ID. 2. Recommend iPhone 6 Plus 3. Not all hundreds talk at the same time. More like a repeater than 20 meters during CQWW. 4. Hop on web and get started. Have a look at tweetdeck once you get familiar.

Bryan,
You are quite correct. Twitter is an invaluable resource for me. It keeps me up to date on news, sports, ham radio stuff, etc. I spend a lot of time every day scrolling through my Twitter feed.
Many operators who are out traveling to different grids keep people updated of their progress on Twitter - which passes they will work in a grid, etc. If provided, I add this information to the AMSAT Upcoming Satellite Operations page (http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=3921)
W5PFG posted a list a while back of satellite ops on Twitter: http://www.w5pfg.us/2014/08/ham-satellite-ops-on-twitter.html
Of course, there are more to add since that list was made!
