Anyone else have any other twitter tools they use on a daily basis?
Great list Ben! I recently switched to Destroy Twitter from TweetDeck though. I noticed TweekDeck can use up to 750mb of memory at times (insane), plus was a little bit buggy. Destroy Twitter is just another air app, but seems to update at the right times and uses much less memory.
I like the slimmed down interface of Destroy Twitter. I’ll have to try it out for a while. One of the things I do like about TwitterDeck is the capability of lumping people into groups, so that I can have different panels for people I follow because of non-profit work, one for wordpress developers, one for gamers… etc. I’ll see how much I miss that.
I also wish some developer would link hashtags to something like TwitterChat so that specific conversations can take place.
Update: And another thing I miss about TweetDeck vs. Destroy Twitter. TweetDeck actually labels tweets as unread and it doesn’t look like Destroy Twitter does that.
BTW – For everyone else – Destroy Twitter = http://tr.im/bg1a
Some people have mentioned that I should check out http://tweepler.com as a great way to manage followers.
Google Voice is an absolute lifesaver. The features of it are amazing, such as the ability to screen calls. If anyone wants an invite let me know. Also I hope that Apple rethinks the GVoice App, hwo could such an awesome app get denied by Apple?
