Upgrade your Twitter arsenal and become more effective with your tweets

Do you use Twitter to stay in touch with your friends / colleagues / clients and just randomness of the world?  If you don’t you should be because it increases the inflow of the world’s news into your life and makes it easier to stay intouch with everything.   For the longest time I’ve been a very avid user of Tweetdeck, but the only complaint I’ve had with Tweetdeck is that it did not support multiple accounts.   I have found my desktop solution to that with Seesmic Desktop.

With the latest release of Seesmic Desktop there have been some great enhancements to the application specifically Multi-Account Support for concurrent updating.  I have 3 twitter accounts that I manage currently with a 1 more coming along here in the short future.  This is the exact feature that I’ve been looking for from every twitter client that I’ve used starting with twirl, DestroyTwitter, and Tweetdeck.   Something that I really didn’t care if it did or not but it does fully integrate with Facebook which to me is a dying breed of social media compared to twitter.  Another thing that Seesmic does better than Tweetdeck is that you can have more than 10 panes that you can be following and you can attribute different panes with different twitter accounts so what you re-tweet its coming from the correct twitter account.

In the past I really wasn’t much into the web based twitter utilities but I’ve became fond of twitterfeed to automate some of my twitter content for certain twitter accounts.  Some twitter users over use twitterfeed and make their accounts come off very spam-y so the quality of the content coming from it isn’t very original in my opinion and I personally try to steer clear of those accounts.   I do promote the use of twitterfeed to automate announcing your website content and blog posts.  I think the best use of twitterfeed is for websites that produce monthly e-mail newsletters but don’t produce a very accessible archive that is available outside visitors that are just coming into your site for the first time.  This also could potentially give a whole new subscriber outlet to the newsletter subscribers, which could give those savvy marketing people a good way to optimize those marketing e-mails.

Recently I’ve ditched my old and tired 8830 and now have a Storm which I was looking for a twitter client besides Twitterberry as I didn’t really care for it all that much and I stumbled across  a nice beta app called ubertwitter which by all means if a fully function twitter client with twitpic integration, url shorting, twitter search, user following, and pretty much everything else that you see from a regular single-user twitter client such as DestroyTwitter.
