There’s no doubt that Twitter has become a major player in the world of social media. In fact, it’s pretty much at the top of the heap of the various microblogging services available on the Web.

And with good reason: Twitter is easy to use and the breadth and depth of posts is something to see.

For a power user (or a power user wannabe), the Twitter Web interface leaves a bit to be desired. It’s fine for reading and posting messages (called tweets in Twitter-speak). But the interface is lacking in a lot of ways. If you want to, for example, send a message to another Twitter user or retweet (repost an interesting message), then you have to remember a keyboard command and/or do some copying and pasting.  Why do that, when you can use graphical tool that gives you point-and-click access to all the Twitter functions you need? And a few more to boot. There a number of desktop clients for Twitter, and a few Web-based ones too.

This TechTip looks at four of the more interesting Twitter clients out there. All of them are free, and they work on desktop computers that run Linux, Mac OS, and Windows.

  1. How old is this article?  Twhirl hasn’t been worked on for quite awhile now.  It has been replaced by Seesmic Desktop/Web, which is an incredibly awesome product!  http://www.Seesmic.com I have used it for quite awhile now and love it!

  2. TweetDesk is awesome. Its free and with verson .30 you can manage twitter, facebook and myspace all from one application.  I even believe its available for the iphone also.

  4. I used to use TweetDeck but recently switched to HootSuite.  I love the ability to have up to 10 columns so I can organize my Tweets.  I also have the ability to have tabs for searches, etc., schedule tweets, keep track of click thrus and can manage multiple Twitter accounts.
