Twitter Clients

As you mat know there are a few different Twitter clients that you can use out there. This is a page I have assembled for most of the more popular ones.

Tweet Deck

Tweet Deck is a free, cross-platform, application running on the Adobe Air platform that allows you to manage your twitter account. You can download Tweet desk here: Click Here. Tweet deck stands out from other applications because it allows you to open up different lists in the one window. What you can do is take all of you followers and add them to their own category. So for example, if you wanted to put two lists there tech and news you could filter the users to fall into their own lists. Lets say you are following Chris Pirillo, FOX, Leo Leporte, and CNN. You could put Chris and Leo into a tech list, while FOX and CNN are in the news list. There are endless possibilities with this. You can still display the normal timeline of course. So if you like to stay organized then you might want to try Tweet Deck. Watch the video at the top of the post to see this application in action.

Please comment. Let me know what your favorite Twitter client is.

NOTE: TweetDeck is still in beta. You will have to sign up in order to get the app.

My Social

My Social is a very basic Twitter and Friendfeed program that simply gives you a tabbed interface in order to view both your Twitter and Friendfeed timelines. Watch the video to find out more. You can download My Social here: Download.

Twinja Air

This is a Twitter client that provides a very innovative way of displaying timelines. It allows you to make different filters or groups that allow you to have different time lines open in the same window. The only disadvantage is that it takes up a lot of desktop space, but with all the multi desktop apps out there that shouldn’t be a problem. Watch the Video to fins out more. You can Download Twinja Air here:Download Here

Also feel free to comment. Let me know what you think about my videos. Also what do you think about Twinja Air?

Spaz

This, the second post in the series of desktop clients for Twitter and FriendFeed, will feature Spaz. Download here.

Spaz is just a Twitter client - NOT a FriendFeed client like some of the others. To start off, Spaz is a very basic yet feature rich program; it will allow you to do just about anything that you would want to do with your Twitter account. It also provides a great UI for you to manage all of your tweets with. You can view all of the different time lines send a DM, reply, or just simply tweet. It has a character counter as well as a feature to allow you to easily tell if you have read a tweet yet or not (that wins me over). It also gives you an API report and will automatically tell how often it needs to update according to what the current API limit is. Last, one of the best things about this program is that it keeps the bugs to a minimum; I have hardly had any problems with it no crashes etc. Watch the review to find out more.

Feel free to comment - let me know what you think about Spaz. Also, what is your favorite Twitter client? Or do you just use the Web interface?

Twhirl

The adobe air app: twhirl. You can download twhirl here.

twhirl is not only a Twitter client, it is also a FriendFeed client. This is nice to just have one program open doing both things for you. twhirl is just simply a Twitter/FriendFeed timeline on your desktop. You can read all your direct messages and all of the replies as well as the public timeline. One of my favorite features is that when you are reading the latest tweets you can see a star of you have not read and if you have read them the star will go away. This is great for keeping up with all the tweets. You can also tweet from twhirl. When you are posting a tweet twhirl has built in URL shortening as well as the ability to add photos to the mix.

That is not without some disadvantages though. One of the main ones (I don’t know if this is Adobe AIR or twhirl) is the fact that it is really buggy. I find that it freezes a lot and it has some weird scrolling issue. I would still keep an eye on it though, because it does have a lot of promise.

If you have any comments about twhirl feel free to leave them. What is your favorite client?

Once again you can download twhirl here.
