Five Slick Twitter Desktop Apps to Organize Your Tweeps

Does any Twitter user actually still use Twitter.com these days? While Twitter.com is simple and effective, the available desktop and mobile applications blow Twitter.com away in functionality and design. Applications such as TweetDeck, Seesmic and Destroy Twitter give you multiple pages so you can see all the information you prefer on one screen. Below, you’ll find what I believe is the 5 absolute greatest Twitter Desktop Applications.

TweetDeck

TweetDeck is like being behind a mission control panel. It integrates Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace and lets you update your status with one post. You can reply, forward, retweet and have just about all the same functionality within TweetDeck. You can create as many custom pages you want to stay organized and up to date.

Tweetie for MAC

Tweetie for Mac lets you double click on Tweets to see full conversations, open multiple compose windows at once, browse the current trends, display direct messages as chat, view in-depth user detail (including entire threaded conversations), add custom searches and much more. You can use the free version with ads or register ad-free for $19.95.

Twitterrific for Mac

Twitterrific uses a clean interface and is designed to take up a minimum of real estate on your Mac’s desktop.

Seesmic Desktop

Seesmic Desktop gives you Facebook and Twitter on your desktop, post comments, likes and much more. You can follow your friends, update your profile, etc. This application is a bit like TweetDeck with some differences in design.

Destroy Twitter

Destroy Twitter is a compact Twitter application built to run on Mac, Windows, and Linux using Adobe AIR. Like TweetDeck  and Seesmic, it consists of a series of pages that constantly update to keep tweets up-to-date using notifications. Destroy Twitter uses a minimal amount of memory without sacrificing functionality and performance.

My favorite Twitter Desktop Application is currently TweetDeck. I use it on my desktop and iPod Touch. It does everything I could ask a Twitter Application to do. Another secondary application I use is Destroy Twitter. I enjoy it’s simplicity. Do you have any favorites? Let me know what you think.
