Depending on who you talk to, Twitter is an interesting news feed or just a complete waste of time where we can update everything we think and we want. The 140-character micro-blogging website never seems to disappoint us and always gives us a particular pleasurable feeling: we never stop tweeting.
Twitter users these days are not using the original website, but are turning to several groundbreaking web clients to tweet their thoughts and feelings. Twitter has its own fair share of clients on the web, each with at least one reason it’s more preferable to use than others.
Brizzly.com, with its cute grizzly bear mascot, puts us in control of who is reading out tweets. More than just a group chat microblog posting client, Brizzly.com lets us share links, upload photos and videos, make jokes and talk with the people we choose.
It simplifies the browsing experience while adding nifty extras, and it takes some of the work out of keeping up to date with the people, trends and global news that users want to know more about.
Brizzly.com shines due to its ability to embed photos and videos, which eliminates the annoyance of opening thousands of tabs when checking Twitter. It can also “silence” certain people by allowing a user to mute them - letting us avoid the awkwardness of unfollowing them.
Hootsuite.com is a power-user web client for lazy Twitter stars. It allows us to manage multiple Twitter profiles from a single interface, schedule and auto-tweet blog posts, post a single tweet on multiple profiles and shorten long URLs.
This is a powerful tool and surely great for enterprise users as it provides a command console worthy of a marketing department. Just go to “Track Results” to review your online success with click-through statistics and easy report exporting.
“Assign Tasks” allows you to delegate and monitor assignments to people, while “Team Collaborations” lets users manage multiple contributors and share data and access without sharing passwords and more.
This is an ideal site for ghostwriters or anyone with too many Twitter accounts.
Next is br.st, which stands for the word “burst”. This web-based Twitter client really kicks it up a notch. The layout is familiar since it uses our own Twitter page setup (and our background too).
Besides offering functionality such as shortening links and text, br.st offers us posting previews in a “tweetbox”; uploading images and files up to 10 MB each; showing image and file screenshots in our timeline; displaying info in a Google map on an image share page; managing our previous links, files, songs and images in a gallery; easy tracking and following of conversations… and much more!
The best thing is if you follow @brdotst there are sometimes contests giving away Nintendo Wii consoles and Apple MacBooks. A giveaway entry button on the page tells us when the day’s entry reset is by refreshing the page. The giveaway is random, every user who follows @brdotst and the rules required - it doesn’t matter how many followers we have - can be a lucky winner.
It may feel like spam at first, but that’s just it - multiple postings every day are needed to notice (and convince) br.st that you’re the one to get the MacBook.
Last one is Seeismic.com - Tweetdeck lovers will love it. Seeismic is famous for its desktop version, but BlackBerry, iPhone or Android users may feel cozy using this app for their phones, too.
Staying in touch with friends and managing Twitter, Facebook, Linkedln, Foursquare and GoogleBuzz and other social networking web sites - is easier with wide-ranging features made possible by plugins for the Seeismic application.
Users are allowed to manage a Twitter stream in a single column mode or can create unlimited column views. There are rollover views of user statistics and a place to check out trending topics to keep up to date with what people are talking about sneaking a peek at the common interests of everyday users from Twitter search.
Plus, Seesmic translates English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish - and even we can request them to add other languages.
Seeismic.com is the ultimate Twitter client for buffs and bugs.
So now, it’s your turn to choose a web client to use for chatting in the Twitterverse. Have a blast!
