Twittering: Review of 5 Applications
Twitter: you all know it and you all love it and sometimes even hate it. Sure, regular blog hosting is one way of getting your thoughts and points across but if you want a quick and easy way of making sure that your friends are up to date on your latest activities, then Twitter is the thing for you.
In honor of Crenk’s 1000 followers, here are five popular and great applications for Twitter.
1) TwitPic
Perfect for all of us wanting share photos on Twitter and it’s immensely popular with over a million visitors in January. Pictures can be posted to TwitPic from your API, phone or when logged in to the site itself. We love this tool and it’s as easy as it gets!
2) TweetDeck
TweetDeck is still in a public BETA version but it’s still very functional. What the app does is taking abundant information and breaks it down to more manageable pieces. Notifications and tweets are also streamlined through this app. Great app if you want total control and wish to stay up to date at all time.
3) Digsby (not a twitty related name!)
Tired of many IM programs and FB all open. Digsby is a great little application that centralizes instant messaging (AIM, MSN, Gtalk, FB), e-mailing (Gmail, Hotmail, MSN) and social networking accounts into one single program. Based on Pidgin, this is cuter, lighter, and better. This is a top tool for staying on top of everything and keeping it organized.
4) Twitterfeed
With Twitterfeed you’ll be able to feed your blog or any other RSS or Atom feed directly to Twitter. Great application if you want to synchronize your Twitter account with your WordPress hosting account.
5) TwtPoll
Applications do not have to be all that complicated to be good and useful. TwtPoll is simple as can be; enter a question at the TwtPoll site and write down a couple of different answers. Your poll is now ready to be used in Twitter. Great app if you wish to understand people’s different opinions.
I have a current poll testing right now. Check it out here and see what you think. Thought I have to admit, I screwed up the URLs twice because I was not sure which was the right one.
So don’t forget to follow @Crenk on Twitter! And say hi to Web Hosting Search, that’s me, over @hostingsearch with your thoughts about Twitter applications.
