			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.davidmeermanscott.com/">David</a> over at <a href="http://www.webinknow.com/">Web Ink Now</a> wrote about his <a href="http://www.webinknow.com/2009/07/top-5-twitter-applications.html">top five Twitter applications</a>.  He then challenged his readers to provide a list of their top <a href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a> apps.</p>
<p>So, here are my top Twitter applications.</p>
<p><img src="http://triunedesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/twhirl-logo-150x105.jpg" alt="Twhirl Logo" width="150" height="105" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-999" /><strong>Twhirl (for my Mac)</strong><br />
<a href="http://tweetdeck.com/beta/">TweetDeck</a> seems to be the choice of Twitter power users everywhere; I am not a power user.</p>
<p>After trying out a few different apps for my Mac (including TweetDeck), I finally chose <a href="http://www.twhirl.org/">Twhirl</a>.  Twhirl has all that I need in a nice clean interface.  Twhirl allows me to have multiple accounts up at the same time so I can easily follow what is happening in my personal and business tweetstreams.  I also like the Growl notifications, which allow me to follow along without having to to constantly switch over to see new tweets.</p>
<p><img src="http://triunedesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/birdfeed-logo-150x139.png" alt="Birdfeed Logo" width="150" height="139" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-996" /><strong>BirdFeed (for my iPhone)</strong><br />
I have tried five or six different Twitter apps for the iPhone.  A while ago I read about <a href="http://birdfeedapp.com/">BirdFeed</a> on <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/29/birdfeed-finally-an-iphone-twitter-client-to-match-tweeties-speed-and-simplicity/">TechCrunch</a>.  They spoke highly about the new app so I thought I might give it a chance.  I have been using <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=320494156&amp;mt=8">Birdfeed</a> ever since.  </p>
<p>Birdfeed has a simple and clean interface, it allows me to easily see mentions/replies, and it provides easy access to retweeting or replying to other people&#8217;s tweets.  Birdfeed also bookmarks my Twitter time line so I can easily refer back to a recent tweet I want to see.  Finally, I like how the interface looks similar to the iPhone texting (or iChat conversations) interface.</p>
<p><img src="http://triunedesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/flickr_logo_gamma.gif" alt="Flickr Logo" width="98" height="26" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-997" /><strong>Flickr (for sharing photos)</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/help/sharing/?search=flickr+twitter#953361">Flickr</a> was a little late to the Twitter-picture game, but I am glad they are here.  <a href="http://facebook.com/">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/">Flickr</a> are the two places I share my photos with the world.  Since I am already adding my photos to Flickr, it makes things easy for me to reference my &#8220;photo&#8221; tweets through them instead of worrying about another website.</p>
<p><img src="http://triunedesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/friendorfollow-150x127.png" alt="FriendOrFollow Logo" width="150" height="127" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-998" /><strong>FriendOrFollow (for a bird&#8217;s eye view of my Twitter community)</strong><br />
<a href="http://friendorfollow.com/">FriendOrFollow</a> easily allows me to keep track of my Twitter community.  On their website, I have three options.  I can see who is following me (with no love in return), who I am following (without reciprocation), and who are my friends (those who follow me and I follow back).</p>
<p>The benefit of using FriendOrFollow is that I have a better idea of who I am actually engaging with on Twitter.  The information is used (in conjunction with other criteria) to allow me to make more informed decisions on who I should continue following.</p>
<p><strong>Your Favs</strong><br />
There are my favorite Twitter apps, but I am more interested in you.  What are your favorites?</p>
