BellaOnline Forums Computers Blogs & Social Networking What Application do you Twitter on?

i use twirhl, cos I love the little chatter box that comes up on my screen when my writer friends across the world are working too!

Distracting tho.....

I like the 'shorten url' option too.

I'm a big fan of twhirl. In general I'd suggest using any of the Adobe AIR apps for twittering or a FireFox plugin. Keeping a page open just to twitter just isn't going to work for me.

Bonus to using an app is that you get a 'ding' sound when someone sends you an @reply or direct message.

I'd also like to remind people to go into your twitter "settings -> notices" and make sure that you have "show me all @replies" checked. With that setting you can get @replies from people even though your not following them. It makes it easy for people to get in touch with you.

Jason, you can set up your Tweetdeck page to show different categories of those you follow. it's super convenient to be able, at a glance, to see the tweets of your friends vs the news outlets and various pro bloggers.

Polygeek, that is an excellent point about allowing @replies from people you are not currently following.

I've been @ed from people i was not following, and ended up following them after they took the time to yack at me personally. I like people who talk to ME and not just the world at large.

Thx Jilly,

Do I get my tweetdeck on twitter's site or elsewhere?

If elsewhere, do you have a link?

Ya, know, shame on me. I should have added the link - sorry! Here it is:
