5 Best Desktop Twitter Tools Beyond TweetDeck

When it comes to Desktop Twitter clients TweetDeck is the only thing that comes to our mind, there are few other Desktop clients worth trying as well, here are five clients that i have picked:

1.Seesmic for Windows


Seesmic for Windows is an elegant desktop client for Twitter with a slightly transparent tabbed interface. Seesmic for Windows can handle multiple Twitter accounts – you can get a integrated timeline or look at your replies, direct messages and sent messages for each account separately. You can post the same updates/links/photos to one or more Twitter account simultaneously. This is a native Windows application and doesn’t require Adobe AIR which is an added advantage.


2.Twhirl


Twhirl is an quick and easy-to-use Twitter client with a simple yet terrific interface. You can even choose your own color schemes and font styles for the interface. Unlike heavy-weights like Seesmic or TweetDeck, Twhirl doesn’t offer loads of features but if all you need is a way to quickly post status updates on your Twitter timeline, this could be a good choice. Twirl also offers integration with other less-common networks such as identi.ca and FriendFeed, and lets you cross-post updates to other social networks via Ping.fm. Twhirl is from Seesmic, the same company the develops previously mentioned Seesmic Desktop for AIR and Seemsmic for Windows.

3.DigiTweet


DigiTweet is an open source desktop Twitter application for Windows. Through Windows Presentation Foundation, DigiTweet provides Twitter features with rich user interface. It’s notable features include search facility for finding other twitter users as well as Twitter contents, and a friends list for viewing Twitter users you are following and who are following you.

4.DestroyTwitter


DestroyTwitter, an Adobe AIR powered Twitter desktop client, is very popular for its minimalistic but innovative interface. The unique thing about Destroy Twitter is its support for Themes – you can either download default themes or use the online theme-builder to create one that matches your taste. DestroyTwitter uses impressive transitions when switching from one screen to another and it’s probably the only desktop client that lets you edit your own Twitter profile. Then there’s support for Twitter trends so that you can know what’s hot on Twitter without having to visit the Twitter site. Destroy Twitter is lightweight and extremely fast. You can also configure the application so that it always stays on top of other applications.

5.Snitter


Snitter is an Adobe AIR powered Twitter client compatible for Windows. Snitter offers auto updates tweet list, recent list of tweets, 20 most recent items in your timeline, 20 most recent replies, 20 most recent direct messages and more. Further, it has options for viewing and filtering the followers.

I hope this post was useful, if you like it please share and drop your comments on which is your favourite tool, would love to hear from you =)

4 Best Twitter Tools For Scheduling Your Tweets

No time to sit all day on Twitter?, Schedule your tweets and stop worrying, here are the 4 best tools for you to do so-

1.Twuffer


Twuffer is one of the best in class. It is the easiest and fastest to use for scheduling a tweet. The huge favour it does to those impatient users like me is that it doesn’t require me to sign up for a Twuffer user account. Many services require you to sign up with their site, in addition to your existing Twitter account, in order to link the two together and use the service. Many of us don’t like having many different logins to remember, There are enough things to mess up in our lives. =)

To login to Twuffer, just type in your Twitter information and thats all you need to do! The interface couldn’t be simpler and it keeps track of your past and future scheduled tweets.Simplicity is just what you need?, Then "this is your cup of tea" =)

2.SocialOomph


SocialOomph demands registration with email activation, having said that you get lots of cool features (most are free). From scheduling tweets, automatically following and unfollowing tweeps doing the same, save drafts , create extended profiles to display more personal info. By upgrading to the optional professional version, it gives you many more features such as Facebook integration, keyword tracking and recurring updates.

SocialOomph works reasonably well, i use it and its my favourite app in its kind, but some might find it looking a little complicated in the way the features are organised. However it’s still a very useful app anyway.

3.Hootsuite


Hootsuite is one app that needs no introduction because of its huge popularity. Its a good package in terms of features just like SocialOomph. The interface is elegant, customizable, One should be 'wow'ed by the way it works with its AJAX technology.

Even though it’s overkill for scheduling tweets, it’s still simple enough to use for just that purpose. It has other time-saving features, such as automatic updates of your blog feeds into Twitter and threaded converstions can be very useful for those who follow thousands of tweeps.

4.CoTweet


Frankly i knew CoTweet only after seeing Aaron (@AskAaronLee) using it all the time. It has a clean interface, which seems to have become a must for Twitter apps. Apart from scheduling tweets, CoTweet will save all incoming and sent messages for you to view later if needed. One of its more unique features is the ability to assign a tweet to a friend, or someone else to follow up on. This can be very useful for businesses.

CoTweet does require you to register an account with them, but it’s all for good. You can link your CoTweet account with up to 5 of your Twitter accounts and manage them all under one roof. This saves a lot of time and lets you schedule tweets for multiple accounts from one place.Now you know why businesses use CoTweet.

I hope it was useful to you tweeps =) and i would love to hear from you on which is your favourite app, so write your comments!

Top 5 Best Twitter Apps For iPhone


Brizzly for Twitter

Rather than trying to be all things to all users, Brizzly (free) focuses on providing a simple and clean user interface with a focus on the key features that most Twitter users are likely to need. A main menu provides quick access to the user’s timeline, mentions, direct messages, and favorites as well as options to view their own profile, tweets, or perform a search. Twitter timelines are presented as a series of conversation bubbles which you can tap on to view more details. Brizzly also nicely provides a timestamp bookmark whenever new tweets are loaded so you can see where you left off in your Twitter stream. Brizzly is not a direct Twitter client, but interfaces with Twitter through the Brizzly.com service.

Echofon / Echofon Pro

Twitterfon, has been renamed Echofon and split into two versions: the standard Echofon remains free, but is now ad-supported. A paid version, Echofon Pro ($5), removes the ads and provides global Push Notification support. It’s also worth noting that users can upgrade from the free version to the Pro version via in-app purchase, which saves users the trouble of having to install the Pro version separately and reconfigure all of their settings.

Over the past year Echofon has continued to advance with a facelift and support for numerous new features, including Twitter Lists, new-style retweets, saved searches and video support. Echofon displays the standard bottom menu bar to allow you to choose from the main timeline, mentions or direct messages as well as browsing lists and performing searches. All links are active in the main timeline, allowing you to quickly open a link by tapping directly in the timeline, however this can also make it difficult to get to the detailed tweet view as you need to be careful to tap away from any active links. Replies can also be shown in a threaded conversation view, and links can be saved to either Instapaper or Read It Later.

HootSuite / HootSuite Lite

HootSuite is an iPhone Twitter client targeted primarily at users of the HootSuite Professional desktop solution. Users can choose to sign in to their existing HootSuite account, create a new account or simply add Twitter accounts directly without connecting to the HootSuite service. HootSuite is available in two versions: The full HootSuite ($2) provides support for unlimited Twitter accounts and built-in statistics tracking. The free HootSuite Lite version is limited to three accounts and does not provide stats.

Compared to other iPhone Twitter clients, HootSuite provides relatively basic functionality at this point, with its strongest focus being on its desktop integration. Different streams are shown in a menu layout for each account, with a menu bar at the bottom allowing quick access to stats, search and settings options. The timelines themselves are presented in a standard view and users can swipe left and right to quickly switch between timelines.

SimplyTweet

SimplyTweet($5) provides the standard three streams for friends, mentions and direct messages as well as a search option. Users can choose from several attractive themes to display timelines. New tweets are highlighted and viewing and reading tweets works in the usual way. SimplyTweet provides a landscape view for both reading and composing, a threaded conversation view and user profile and follower management. Links can be saved to Instapaper for later reading.

When composing new tweets, users can post photos or videos, add a map link to the current location and shorten URLs or shorten text. Oddly, the iPhone camera can be used to take pictures, but videos can only be uploaded from the saved photo library.

TweetDeck

TweetDeck (free) for the iPhone stems from a companion desktop application of the same name, and its design is heavily influenced by its desktop sibling. Rather than the standard multi-page UI that most Twitter apps have adopted, TweetDeck uses a customizable column paradigm instead, with each stream separated into its own column. Users can move between columns either by swiping left or right or tapping on the Columns button to display a zoomed-out column browsing view. Although TweetDeck starts users out with a default set of columns, every view is fully customizable, so users can choose which streams they want to view, and add additional customized streams for saved searches, Twitter Lists, or local groups.

A total number of updates from all columns is shown in the bottom left corner, and tapping on this button brings up a detailed list of the number of new items in each column. You can skip to the appropriate column by tapping on its name in the unread items listing. TweetDeck synchronizes columns with its desktop counterpart via a separate TweetDeck account, but it’s worth noting that not all column types are synchronized at this point: For example, local groups and locally saved searches sync, however Twitter List columns do not.

Which is your fav twitter app?, i would love to hear from you! =)

5 Things You Didn’t Know About the New Twitter.com


1.The code name for the new launch was Phoenix (Kind of funny when you think of the metaphorical bird rising from the ashes. As long as in this metaphor the ashes are the fail whale.)

2.The new Twitter.com is a full Twitter client using the company’s APIs. It was built on the @anywhere platform, which helps pull information about profiles and other data in order to be displayed in JavaScript.

3.The new Twitter.com doesn’t include user streams — the real-time updates of tweets that clients like TweetDeck are now offering — but Twitter is working to add this.

4.Another big platform project, Annotations, has been put on hold, because the infrastructure team was working on the New Twitter.com launch.

5.On the new Twitter.com, when you click on a tweet in the left pane, in the right pane you’ll see things like tweets with the same hashtag, or tweets in the same conversation, or tweets in the same place. That’s part of a separate product made by its own team at Twitter called Related Tweets. At some point in the future, Related Tweets will be available for other Twitter clients, including those from outside providers.

3 Things that Twitter can take from Facebook's 'Success Story'


1.'Like Tweet'

'Like' option on Facebook is something that has become so popular unlike the 'Favorite' option on Twitter which is a disaster on my view, It would be better if Twitter dumps 'Favorite' and goes for the 'Like Tweet' option, this would also make a huge difference on the way we tweet and would make a revolution of sorts similiar to what the RT made.

2.Farmville

Hahaha, Well its not rocket science, by the word 'Farmville' i mean Social Gaming, social gaming on facebook has come a long way and made itself a prime reason for many to be on facebook besides other reasons, Another strong sign is the exclusive social gaming sites that are emerging. If Twitter can have a social gaming section it would make life difficult for Facebook and can make Mark Zuckerberg sweat for the response it will win.

3.Geeky Interface

Next vital thing is the graphical interface which is a eye catcher on Facebook. Twitter lacks that charm which Facebook has,But having said that the #NewTwitter on the Pipeline is said to offer a lot, hope it brings the much needed charm that Twitter needs very badly. I expect nothing short of a Geeky Interface on #NewTwitter. Many would argue that a 'Geeky Interface' is the end dummies on twitter(most oldies are on twitter for its Simplicity),but a 'Geeky Interface' is one which gives 'Simplicity in a Geekier way'.

5 Best Twitter Apps For Android


Twitter For Android [Free]

This is the official application for accessing Twitter from your Android mobile device. Developed by Twitter themselves, it is the most comprehensive application on the market considering it was developed by the creators of Twitter. This has everything the average socialite would ever need as well as having the features Power Users will crave.

HootSuite [Paid & Free]
Price: US $2.99

This is the next best thing if users out there aren’t interested in an official application for Twitter. Hootsuite enables users to manage multiple Twitter accounts, as well as being a dashboard for many social media outlets. It contains the usual suspects; Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and Foursquare but also allows room for lesser used networks or hubs such as Ping.fm and WordPress (just added). Since being designed for the Android, HootSuite has trimmed down the interface and as of right now the user is able to only post tweets. This client is available to all versions of Android including the latest FroYo build. You should also note that the free version does not include stats and is limited to 3 accounts.

Twidroid [Paid &Free]
Price: US $3.99

With Twidroid being claimed as the “industry's standard twitter client”, this app has a lot to live up to. With such high hopes comes a high feature base including but not limited to, the ability to add plugins, edit lists, native bit.ly support and tweet outbox incase you are disconnected from your network. These features will only be available on the paid version but the price would be well worth it just for the ability to use plugins.

Seesmic [Free]

Seesmic has focused its efforts on a whole suite of tools that can pull information from many social networking sites and present it to you in an easy to read format. This has been brought to the Android OS in a more minimalistic yet crisp interface. Unlike the iPhone version, the client for Android can only add Twitter usernames and note Facebook profiles and the like. Everything is presented in a straightforward manner at the top of your screen, with the ability to switch from your timeline, replies, messages, and your profile. If the red bar at the top of the page is pressed and you are anywhere on the page but the top, the screen will move to the starting position.

Touiteur [Paid & Free]
Price: €1.99

Not to be fooled by its French name, this is among the top Twitter clients today. Designed by LevelUp Studio’s it boasts a clean beautiful interface that could rival the iPhones classic user interface (UI). This app does come with a free and paid version so it’s key to note what you would like from this client. The paid version will unlock multiple accounts, 3 widgets for home screen, URL shortening, customization, and viewing webpages and multimedia within the program.
