As soon as you start using Twitter it becomes clear that the web interface is lacking in the usability department. If you want to use a browser to interface with twitter check out Tweetvisor, otherwise check out these third party Twitter clients…
First things first, get Adobe AIR, the clients we will be talking about today run on this platform. Then check out RefershingApps.com for all sorts of cool apps that run on AIR. For twitter clients I like twhirl and tweetdeck and Twitter has been kind enough to list all applications that allow you to send and receive Twitter Updates.
There are lots of other ways to view the data that twitter has to offer:
- Twitter Search
- Graphs and Visualizations
- Through networks like Twitter Moms
- See ‘Twitter Tools’ on Delicious
- Cotweet – a platform that helps companies reach and engage customers using Twitter.
As with most social networking sites it is important to listen to what people are saying on Twiter before trying to broadcast your message. These tools should help you do that successfully. Tweet on!
