15 Cool Twitter Desktop Clients for More Productive Tweeting

Twitter is growing at a faster rate than even its founders believed it could. It’s one heck of a community to be involved in, and there is a lot that can be learned from participating in discussions on Twitter. I have to give Twitter folks credit for making more changes to its interface and making it more user friendly. But you are still not going to be too productive if you only rely on Twitter’s web interface to write your tweets. It’s always better to get a top desktop or iPhone twitter client to get the job done. Remember, you want to get more done in less time.

Thanks to Adobe Air and other platform independent software packages, we have many options when it comes to choosing a client that works on both Windows and Mac OS. Not all these clients are created the same, but you do want to test them out to make sure you have the package that works the best for you. With that in mind, here are 15 Twitter clients that let you tweet from your PC/Mac like a pro.

1. Skimmer: Skimmer is a cool Adobe Air client that lets you manage your Twitter and other social networking accounts from one place. I have been using this client next to Tweetdeck, and things couldn’t have gone better. It’s a breath of fresh air to be able to manage my Twitter without any major issues on a client.
2. tweetdeck: my favorite Twitter client. Great way to keep in touch with the latest developments on Twitter without having to have multiple windows open.
3. Twitterrific: a great tool to publish tweets and read them on your computer. Comes with a user interface is designed to let you view as much or as little information as you prefer and supports multiple account as well.
