Various kinds of application software were created to meet the needs and the convenience of twitterians. Ranging from software application intended for a personal computer through a mobile application for mobile devices like Cell Phone, Iphone, Blackberry and more.

In this post I would like to share about some twitter applications that I recently used.

For mobile phone, I chose to use SNAPTU, it is a free mobile application developed by Moblica browser that runs on GPRS/3G mobile phones. The reason I chose is because it  can be used to manage multiple twitter account and can also be used to ‘walling’ on FACEBOOK

To install this application on the mobile phone, you can direct the mobile browser to this address  m.snaptu.com

And for my desktop computer and notebook, I like and use several web-based applications such as

CoTweet ™ – still in beta version – it is a CRM (Customer Relation Management) application that can be used to managed multiple twitter accounts from a single CoTweet account – and the best part is you can also assign multiple users to ‘tweet’ by using one twitter account you choose

“How Business Does Twitter” is the motto of CoTweet ™ and it is said that some all size big companies, agencies and organizations (Fords, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Dell, etc) who got ‘twitter division’ in their company’s structures  already use CoTweet ™ to promote their products or services and also to get connected with their customers.

HootSuite ™ - Have the same features just like CoTweet ™. The additional is, you can integrate your Facebook, LinkedIn and Ping.fm

ITweet 2 – it is a web based application for twitter interface developed by Colby Palmer – A Creative Designer & Web Developer . ITweet can not manage multiple twitter accounts, but still it has great and friendly interface.

Of course there are some ‘stand alone’ application for Twitter out there. I tried but then decide to uninstall ….

Reason? Some of them are just badly ‘wasting’ my computer’s resources (memory). Since I got limited resource, I prefer to use it for something else
