6 Useful Twitter Tools

I’m all about simplifying and systemizing my business. How about you? There are gobs of twitter tools out there to help you simplify and enhance your twitter experience. Several of them are free and there are some you pay a small fee for.

Let’s discuss 6 of the FREE ones that I personally like to use. I will briefly review each of these tools and then in later posts go in more detail about how to use the tool, the benefits and maybe some of the quirks. Twit, tweet, twid etc.

Tweet Deck http://www.tweetdeck.com

I wouldn’t even consider using twitter without Tweet Deck. This makes the twitter experience actually fun and very easy. Tweet Deck is a desk top application that can be installed in less then 2 seconds. It is a way for you to manage your tweets in a simple and easy manner.

Twellow http://www.twellow.com

Twellow is the yellow and white pages for finding people to follow. This is another tool that is simple to use and is accessed by your twitter profile name and password. So you need to have a twitter account before you can access Twellow.

Social Oomph http://www.socialoomph.com

Social Oomph (previously known as Tweet Later) is a tool to automate your tweets. There is a debate in the social media world on weather this is a good tool to use. My advice to you is just be ethical and honest in all your business and you shouldn’t have any issues. We will discuss this more in the detailed post on Social Oomph.

Twit Wall http://twitwall.com

This is a great tool for when you have something to say that is over 140 characters. It’s actually a blog that can be used right with your twitter account.  I use it for different scenarios and I will give some examples in the detailed post on Twit Wall.

 Split Tweet http://splitweet.com

Split Tweet is a wonderful tool (one because it has a purple background), to manage more then one twitter account. I like this because I can pull this up and look at the accounts as a whole or as individuals. You can also post tweets from this application.

Twitpic  http://twitpic.com  and TwitVid http://www.twitvid.com

Ok now the fun ones! Twitpic is a tool to easily post pictures on twitter and TwitVid is the tool to post videos. Just that simple, and they are both simple to use. More details on the posts for these two tools.

What’s your favorite? Out of these 6 tools which one do you use most often and why? Oops I snuck an extra one in there!!
