7 Various Twitter Apps for All Types of Users

Category : Twitter, Web/Tech

I have been using Twitter for quite awhile and after many failed attempts to make my friends understand and start using it, I will tell you about 7 twitter apps that you may or may not know about, but I have used most of them and like them all in different ways.

1. Seesmic Desktop – This is my number one app right now, it has gotten better over time, and ever since they added Facebook integration, and they promise more, it seems to be the best choice for power users. They allow for filtering and setting up groups, search and more.

2. TweetDeck – This was number one for a long time, and I still recommend it for power users, they also have some type of Facebook integration, but not as well as Seesmic Desktop. The setting up of groups is much easier in this app, as you can choose the users from a checklist. If you are a power twitter user, then this is another one to check out.

3. Tweetie – This is the most popular iPhone app for twitter, and no matter how many others I try and use, I always come back to this one, it’s hands down the easiest to use, but it’s not free. They also have a Mac desktop application as well.

4. PowerTwitter – A Firefox extension that lets you do a lot more than post tweets, you can do broad and user-based searches, post inline links to YouTube, Flickr, TwitPic and more, it’s a powerful tool to check out.

5. Twitterberry – This is a Blackberry app, but it’s slow to update, and doesn’t grab tweets as much as it should, but if you are a Blackberry user and don’t want to waste SMS messages, then give this a try.

6. Ping.fm – While not really a dedicated Twitter app, it allows you to post your updates across multiple sites at one time, so if you belong to a lot of social networks and dislike going to each individual site to update your status than check this out, you can also update from your IM service of choice.

7. Twitter.com – This is just a given, but you can tweet from the Twitter website, and now that they have added search and trends to the homepage, it is a lot more user friendly.

I know I may have missed some or excluded your favorite twitter tool, if I have please feel free to share your favorites in the comments or follow me on twitter @btiede.
