My Twitter Apps

If you are following more than 100 people on Twitter, you know how hard it is to keep track of who said what. The best application I have found for this is TweetDeck. TweetDeck is an Adobe AIR application (which means you have to download the AIR software onto your computer) that lets you see in table form at least 3 columns. The default columns are “Friends”, “Replies”, and “Direct Messages.”  You can build your own column  as a Group (the tab is at the top of the application). Fo example, my Group are the followers I am most interested in. I named the Group, and then selected the Twitter names that I wanted in the group. The program does the rest.

You can also change the colors of the application.

I highly recommend this desktop app for keeping up on what is happening day to day on Twitter.

Twitoria allows you to see (at 100 people at a time) if all your friends (i.e. the ones you follow) are active on Twitter. It will tell you how long ago a friend has last tweeted. This is another simple application that only asks for your Twitter username.

On Twitter, you follow people in order to see what they are talking about. Often (but not always), they follow you back. There are no rules that you have to follow them back, and so FriendorFollow was born.

This application allows you to see who you follow that does not follow you back, your fans that follow you and you aren’t following, and those that follow you and you follow them.  These are tabs on the top of the page.

FriendorFollow  is another app that does not ask you for your Twitter password, just your name. When it is loading, you see a hand petting a rabbit. I also like the favicon at the top.

This is an excellent application that helps expand your Twitter experience.
