*Twitter Applications- A massive list to make Twitter easier to use.
If you are anything like me, there was a time & place when your friends all said "Jeremy! Why are you not on Twitter? You need to use Twitter! It is an awesome new social network that is super effective for producing new business connections!" After several of your friends begged you to join, you finally visited Twitter.com and registered an account.
You finished your registration, added celebrities like @aplusk and your friends from in your database. You sent the infamous "Just trying out Twitter" as your first tweet and then set in complete confusion for the next 6 months trying to understand what to do next. Your friends & celebrities filled your wall with constant stream that was always moving and you had no way of making sense of how to use twitter. You answered your friend requests that filled your inbox and that was about it. After complete frustration set in, you gave upl & said that Twitter was not for you.
This is a very typical story of so many that have started on twitter. When you use the basic web version of twitter, it is very difficult to understand how it all works & how to optimize your account for business. All you see is constant chatter & movement of links from people you know & those you don't. This was my feelings on twitter for the first few months. Until I finally started using a few of these Twitter Applications listed below.
Whenever I am working with a client who does not understand or enjoy using Twitter, it is normally because they are not trying out any of the various Twitter applications that exist. After an hour of online coaching on these applications, it makes things much clearer. Because of this, I decided it was time to put together a mother lode list of Twitter Applications.
This list of Twitter Applications is by no way every single application that exists, so if I miss some, please share in the comments below what applications you love that I may have overlooked. These are however some of the most popular & best applications I have ever found. So without further ado, here is my mother lode list of Twitter Applications:

Twitter Applications- 125 Twitter Tools To Make Twitter Easier To Use
What an abundant and GREAT post Jeremy! Thanks so much for sharing and taking the time to put all of this together.
I've saved this post as a book mark and will refer to it often.
Thanks again!
Jeremy - This is a very impressive list of Twitter applications. I don't use Twitter much, yet, but I look forward to exploring your list.
Thanks Steve & Marc! If you guys liked this post, make sure to suggest it for feature!
What exactly IS Twitter? I keep hearing about it from my friends - should I check it out? :-)
You've got to be kidding Jeremy. That many applications for Twitter? Sheesh. I think I'l pass man.. Too much!
LOL, from my last research, 1,000s of developers have created more than 70,000 applications using Twitter API-
HA! I've bookmarked this so I can go back and read it when I HAVE AN EXTRA WEEK!
Jeremy, what is the app where you can schedule tweets. I know NikNik shared it at a conference but I can't remember the name?????
I use several of these apps, but there are a few on the list I'd never heard of. I'll check them out. Thanks, Jeremy!
Missy- There are several that you can use to schedule. Check out the schedule tweets section of my post. I would probably stick to using either hootsuite, or I noticed that Tweetdeck now allows this too.
Great List Jeremy. I'm a devout Twit and have seen (and use) several of thesre apps - but you've really gone above and beyond with this, I'll be checking them out to see what else fits into my Twitter plan. Thanks
Wow, there is a whole lot more to twitter than I ever knew. I will have to check these out.
Jeremy, this is astounding! For such a young program, there certainly are a lot of apps. I'm a Tweetdeck fan myself. Thanks for this list.
Wonderful! Thank you Jeremy!
Now featured on The Optimist Group.
Whew - what a RESOURCE! Thanks for your compilation - I'd have to dig into it. I've put off tweetdeck for months now.
Jeremy, great information and bookmarked for later review ...a lot to take in that's for sure!
I definitely am bookmarking this. We also use TweetLister . It was free at first and now we are grandfathered in. Check that one out. Thanks Jeremy. Great information.
That is a great list of twitter applications. I didn't realize there were that many applications.
