Twitter Tools I’m In Love With And You Should Too

Sep 2008 | Category: Quick Tips Add to Mixx! |

Enjoy the article!  



Since the first time I met Twitter, I’ve been experimenting with her tools to enable me access my account without having to open the browser :) . There were lots of tools I’ve put my hands on, but listing them all won’t benefit anyone. So here are the handy Twitter tools fits my shape very well:

bukiki-twhirl

Twhirl - a desktop client Twitter tool, powered by ADOBE AIR platform. You can read the list of features on the website, but here are why I personally like Twhirl:

  • it’s a desktop application
  • that allows multiple account login at a time
  • and minimizes to the tray
  • while showing tweet updates
  • but allows to pause notifications also
  • and empty the list of tweets
  • sends tweets quite fast
  • unfollow directly from Twhirl
  • and let’s not forget fast auto updates

 

bukiki-mattinator

TheMattinator.com - there are a  lot of Twitter tools that allow sending tweets to multiple accounts but like Twhirl, you need to type and submit the tweets one by one on each account. This is what makes The Mattinator being superior to Twhirl. You only need to type your tweet once and woot! All your accounts are updated. So whenever I feel like spamming :) updating my 2 Twitter accounts, Mattinator it is…. But what about Ping.fm?

 

bukiki-pingfm

Ping.fm is able to update even more services than Mattinator does. Ping.fm takes care of your blogger and wordpress.com account, Facebook, Friendster and various microblogging platforms. Which for that reason, I prefer Mattinator if I only want to update my Twitter accounts. Of course I also use Ping.fm, but in a limited way.

Twitter Karma - you’ll definitely love this tool. Once logged in using your Twitter login, you’ll be presented your friends and followers like below

bukiki-twitterkarmafollower

  • what it says was, “Here are your friends. Friend A is following you, but you aren’t. B is following and you are following him and you’re a fan of C since he’s not following you”.  You can also view their latest updates time stamp to figure out whether they’re active users or not.
  • What about the checkboxes? They’re for this one:

bukiki-twitterkarmabulk

  • Get the idea? You can check friends or followers and have them followed/unfollowed/blocked at once. A real time and bandwidth saver than having to browse through pages and click on each profile to follow/remove.

 

bukiki-tweetlater

TweetLater is when you need to schedule future tweets. I’m aware that you can do the same thing with EasyTweets, but TweetLater has something EasyTweets doesn’t.

  • TweetLater lets you to automatically send a warm welcoming (or cold and snarky) messages to new followers and auto follow them.

bukiki-tweetlaterauto

  • To auto send welcome messages, you need to filter your email and send notifications from Twitter to TweetLater. It’s not that scary and everybody can do it by following their step by step manual.

The other tools I’m going to mention here are the ones I’ve just met with. I either new to them or haven’t spent a lot of time using them and I’d just like to spread the words out. Feel free to give them a try!

Dwigger - an interesting tool that enables voting and threaded conversations on Twitter tweets.

WhoShouldIFollow - looks at who’s following you that you’re not following back and has sliders for filtering by popularity and physical location - TopRankBlog.com

Twerpscan - if there are opportunistic marketers following everyone under the sun in the hopes those good souls will just automatically follow them back, this tool might help identify those whom you may want to block - TopRankBlog.com

Twittad - an advertising agent that targets Twitter users as publishers. You can charge a certain amount to have advertisers use your background to advertise their products. Price is likely based on how many followers you have got.

These tools are probably not the best, but they sure come in handy. Please aware that some of these tools are also widely opened to be used as a spamming devices. It is entirely up to the users (our) integrity to limit themselves from abusing services. I hope you (and your followers) enjoy their benefits! :)

Great tools! I’m grabbing TweetLater now. Hadn’t heard of that one and you’re right it could come in handy. Thanks for putting these together.
