A lot of people use third party applications to tweet with, rather than going directly to Twitter. The ones I use include HootSuite, TweetDeck, and MarketMeSuite.  If you look carefully at these apps, you can see what other peeps are tweeting with.

On TweetDeck, look at the lower line where it gives the name of the person and the date. It also says “via [app name]“.  HootSuite has it directly under the name of the person (this is also true for the mobile app), and MarketMeSuite places the app name at the top. All of these names are links that will take you to the application website.

When it says “Web” for the name, it is referring to the main Twitter website.  This is also true if there isn’t an app mentioned.

Some of the different apps I have seen include: Visibli, TwitterFeed, FourSquare, LinkedIn, Tweet Button, Timely, CoTweet, Twitter for iPhone and Twitter for Android, and SocialOomph. I will be reviewing these in later posts.
