Today I feel like sharing about my Twitter and what do I use it with. Twitter is one of those so called micro blogging tools  and the only other similar thing out there is Plurk. I have seen Plurk with its fancy time line display stuffs but somehow I am still sticking to Twitter, which I find simpler and more straight forward. Furthermore, with the number of followers that I have right now, it would make it harder for me to move away from it.

Here are the tools or programs that I am currently using to complement my Twitter:

TwitterFox – I just need to see what are my friends and and the people I follow talk about and it would be not practical for me to log in to my Twitter account and refresh it all the time to see the latest tweet. With TwitterFox, an add-on to Firefox, this is done automatically and I have the option to reply as well as put in my own tweet. This is a must have for those who are following the tweets.

TweetLater – This is a powerful program that allows you to schedule your tweets, auto follow those who follow you and many more things. So far I only use this to auto follow those who follow me and send welcome and thank you message to my new follower.

TwitterCounter – This is for the vain pots out there. It gives you a little counter that you can add to your blog as display the number of folowers that you have. I have it installed at the footer of this blog. It does not do anything much but it is a nice little thing to show on a blog.

FriendOrFollow.com – This site helps me manage my Twitter contacts. I use it to review those people who I followed but not following me back and it gives me the option to remove those people from my list. It is very useful for doing housekeeping on your Twitter. There you can find, 1-People who don’t follow me back. 2-People I don’t follow back. 3. Mutual Follow.

Magpie – Last but not least, why not make some money while you tweet. This is an affiliate program that let you tweet some paid advertisements using your Twitter account based on your own preferences. I have made Euro1.96 so far on this. It is free to join but the competition is high and it takes time to get something there.

Well, you do not have to do anything but just use your Twitter as you always do.

There you go! Do let me know if you have are using or know any other Twitter related stuffs that I should have. Happy tweeting my fellow twitters!  To those who wants to follow me, just click on the blue bird ya!
