On the tail of my recommendations for desktop twitter clients I thought I’d tell you about my experience with iPhone twitter clients.  I’ve tried half a dozen or so but in this space I think there is a really clear winner.  Unlike the desktop applications (that are all free) the iPhone applications are going to cost a cup of coffee.

I’ve tried quite a few different twitter clients – and most of the time I talk about Hootsuite as my client of choice.  It made sense to talk about how I got to this point (and to be honest there are still a few things about Hootstuite I don’t like).
Tweetdeck
Platform: Adobe Air ∴ Windows, Mac, Linux
Website: www.tweetdeck.com
Tweetdeck was one of the first twitter clients and I believe led the way for what is now a very crowded market.  It provides a columnar style interface allowing you to create different columns …

Last year Twitter introduced a new feature called ‘Lists’ that I think a few people are still not sure about.  To be honest – using lists on the twitter website is a bit wasted, the real value of lists is when you combine a dedicated twitter client with a mobile twitter client.
Keeping in Sync
For some time most of the dedicated twitter clients for your desktop computer have had the ability to organise tweets into columns.  One column for your main feed, another for your replies and mentions, another for your …

Today I conducted a presentation for AIM’s Knowledge Hour series on Social Media.  Above is the presentation I did using prezi.com.

Most recently the use of twitter has started to highlight these URL shortening services due to the fact that twitter only allows 140 characters in posts.  So with 140 characters people needed ways to take a long website address and compress it down into something much much shorter.
