13 Greatest Twitter Apps You Should Be Using

Twitter Apps

Twitter is, no doubt, one of the greatest inventions in the social media industry. With Twitter’s rapidly growing popularity, there are plenty of opportunities left for companies that make third-party applications for Twitter, also called Twitter clients. Some of these apps play significant roles in terms of facilitating our tweets. I’ve picked 13 must-have Twitter apps to share here. Here they are:

Bit.ly
TweetDeck
TwitPic
HootSuite
TweetStats
Tweetie
Brizzly
Posterous
Twitterfeed
TweetMeme
Foursquare
Evernote
SocialToo

Here are more details for each one of them and how you can integrate them in your daily tweets.

1. Bit.ly

Bit.ly

Some URLs are too long to put in a context of 140 characters. Bit.ly allows users to shorten, share, and track links (URLs). Tracking stats are available after users shorten their long links with bit.ly by adding a “+” sign to the end of any bit.ly link (for example, http://bit.ly/6vcsQV+). At his point, it’s safe to say that 90% of my tweets contain links. Without Bit.ly, there wouldn’t be room for me to put in extra content in addition to my links.

2. TweetDeck

Tweetdeck

TweetDeck is your personal browser for staying in touch with what’s happening now, connecting you with your contacts across Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and more. TweetDeck shows you everything you want to see at once, so you can stay organised and up to date.

6. Tweetie

Your readers should know about (www.memcatch.com) It allows for the aggregation/webclipping side of things and also focuses on the sharing of this knowledge across social networks. The iPhone app, desktop client (for all platforms), LinkedIn, & Facebook are coming out in the next couple months and integration with Twitter already exists. It also doesn't stop at web clippings, will soon include: email integration (syncs with emails and lets you flag the ones you want to keep directly to your knowledge base), learning management system integration (for students), and RSS feed integration. Group collaboration is also a part of its functionality.
