When twitter first became the rage I found myself tweeting quite frequently throughout the day. Today, I find myself tweeting several times a week; I’ve slowed down substantially.  Realistically, even though I have hundreds of followers, I don’t think many of them read my tweets. It is far more likely that one of my  tweets using a hashtag gets read. If I stick #fortcollins or #jayleno or better yet, #tigerwoods into one of my tweets; thousands of people who follow those subjects will see my entry in their list.

Twitter Desktop Applications
I don’t go to http://twitter.com to read tweets, that would take too much time. Instead I use Seesmic. Seesmic is a deskktop twitter application that runs in the tray on my Vista computer. It allows me to have several twitter accounts and to send tweets to any or all of them. It also allows me to organize whom I follow and thereby filter incoming tweets into sensible categories. There are plenty of other twitter applications that do some or all of this. I’ve tried most of them and settled on Seesmic.

Seesmic Desktop Twitter Application

If you intend to use twitter and be able to leverage its social power then a desktop twitter application is highly recommended. You may want to consider TweetDeck, TwitterFox, Twhirl (Windows & Mac), and plenty more.
