Top 10 Twitter Tools
Source: 
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users’ updates known as tweets. People who own a blog/website obviously want to improve and boost traffic to their site. The more followers you have, the more visitors and popularity you get.
So, to all my Twitter freaks, here’s a list of top 10 Twitter tools which will definitely enhance and improve your productivity. It’s a great way to promote your blog and increase your blog visibility.
Enjoy!
? TweetDeck : TweetDeck is your personal browser for staying in touch with what’s happening now, connecting you with your contacts across Twitter, Facebook and more.TweetDeck shows you everything you want to see at once, so you can stay organized and up to date. This is the most popular Twitter Desktop Application. It is compatible with Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
Tweetdeck organizes at replies directed to you, direct messages, and shows the last 200 tweets made by your followers.
? Twitt(url)y : It helps you find the latest and most interesting information on the web. It tracks the web addresses (URLs) that are being tweeted about the most on Twitter. The easiest way to understand how Twitturly works is, if you are familiar with digg, then you already know essentially what we do. If you don’t know what digg is, then here is a quick run-down: On Digg, and Twitturly, people “vote” for a URL. The more votes it gets the better it ranks. If it does well enough, it gets promoted to the home page and as the votes increase it gets displayed higher up the home page. Twitturly is different than Digg.
To keep things fresh and the quality high, twitturly only shows the 100 most popular URLs over the last 24 hours.
? Twitter Patterns : If you want the coolest designs and some style to your Twitter Page, Twitter patterns is the answer for you. You can use any pattern in your blog theme or change the pattern or design a custom Twitter page using the pattern.
? TweetBurner : Tweetburner is a tool that works hand-in-hand with Twitter. Tweetburner allows you to track the website links you post on Twitter and find out how many times people clicked on the link. It does this by converting the link to a short URL and tracking how many times this URL was used to transport someone to the destination website.Tweetburner requires you to register with the site to get the most out of it, but you can convert URL’s and post to your Twitter account without signing in to the service. You should most certainly use Tweetburner if you are in need of tracking your links that you post on Twitter.
? GroupTweet : GroupTweet allows users(team members/gang) to send messages via Twitter that are instantly broadcasting privately to only the team members. Registering is very simple.
Follow the steps below for setting up a Twitter Group:
1) Create a new Twitter account specifically for your group. If you want to make this a private group, make sure that updates are protected in the settings.
2) Register your group’s new twitter account at GroupTweet.com.
3) Inform all your group members to follow the group account you have created at Twitter.
4) Members can broadcast a message to the whole group by sending a direct message to the group’s twitter account.
That’s all. When a direct message is received, GroupTweet instantly publishes it as a tweet from the group account. And since all of your group members are following the group’s twitter account they will also receive the message.
? TwitThis : It is an easy way for people to send Twitter messages about your blog post or website. When visitors to your website click on the TwitThis button or link, it takes the URL of the webpage and creates a shorter URL using own URL shortener. Then visitors can send this shortened URL and a description of the webpage to all of their friends on Twitter.
? Read my Tweets : Read tweets from others and they will read your too. Very nice service which allows you to find related tweets from many users on Twitter!
? Qwitter : Find out when you get un-followed by using Qwitter. Qwitter checks your followers and notifies you as often as it can, depending on how many people are using it and how many followers they have. Qwitter will not only alert you as to who is no longer following you, but they’ll show you the tweet you posted that (may or may not) have caused the person to unsubscribe.
? Quotably : This service lets you follow a user’s conversations in a threaded manner, showing you all the various people the given user has had a conversation with. Interesting tool, especially when you trying to find out what others are saying about your brand/service. It addresses the long-standing issue of tracking related posts that otherwise would normally have been difficult to follow as posts are drowned with multiple others once you hit refresh. With Quotably, you only need to type in the Twitter username and Quotably takes care of organizing conversations related to that username. Quotably also adds a permalink to each post so you can easily link to a conversation.
? Twitter Keys : Twitter Keys is a small tool which provides you with a floating window with all these funny symbols you can use in Twitter. You can be as creative as you like. There are so many ‘Twitter Keys’. Click here.
There is also this Twitter Keys Autocomplete.
These tools can help you i.e if you use Twitter at a regular basis, it will improve your functionality, boost your traffic. So get going. Cheers!
