Best Twitter Apps for Business
*Note* This post is borrowed from my “Twitter for Business” blog, TweetClubb.com. Added some additional content, so give it a r3ad!
Well, there are a million Twitter apps, solutions, and sites online, and every one of them is trying to be the next ‘it’ thing. This list is comprised of some of my favorite Twitter apps, along with others that I find interesting!
Su.Pr: All I can say is Wow! This is one of the newest online-based resources out there, but I guesstimate that it will quickly become one of the best. Su.Pr comes from the makers of StumbleUpon working in conjunction with Tim Ferriss (his claim, not sure if it’s substantiated!). It combines a link shortener, with a full-service Wordpress plugin, with an incredibly adept traffic analysis/analytics tool, with the Stumbleupon platform, and so on and so forth. I’ll be doing an entire post about this tool (once I get the hang of using it), so stay tuned!
TwitPic: Awesome app that lets you post pics to Twitter, and will also let your followers (and others) see other photos that you’ve posted. A must have for the pic-buffs out there!
TweetDeck: I’ve reviewed this Adobe Air-based application already, but for those of you that don’t feel like scrolling down, this is my favorite and most often-used application. The multiple panes allow for a quick and easy view of everything going on in your Tweetdom.
Twhirl: Great alternative to TweetDeck. Use this app if you prefer a simple IM-like interface, and want to see everything in one pane. I use this alongside TweetDeck, as it allows for maintaining more than one Twitter account.
TwitterSearch: Twitter’s search function, and one of the ones that I end up using most often. Search for a word, a term, or pretty much anything else, and you’ll see exactly who’s talking about it and when. Also allows you to link to it as an RSS feed, allowing you to post Tweets on any topic to your blog or site (if there isn’t already a better Twitter solution out there).
TweetStats: Find out all of the stats on Twitter, including most Tweeted topics, peak usage times, etc. Builds a customized page for you detailing all of your Twitter-oriented statistics.
TwitterToolbar: If you are the type of person that likes to keep everything in your browser, then this app is a must-have! Works great with Firefox and with Internet Explorer.
Monitter: Another Must-Bookmark app for anyone that is wanting to use Twitter for Business! Monitter allows you to see a side-by-side view of live Tweets on any three keywords or phrases. The best part is, you can sort the search results by proximity to any zip code. If you have a location-based or brick-and-mortar business, then this app will allow you to see who is talking about your business, and where they are from!
Twitter Atlas: Very interesting Flash-based online mapping interface, aggregating Tweets from around the world. Also allows you to get standard atlas functionality, including getting directions, finding places to eat, etc.

Does the same as Twollow in that it can auto follow twitter users based on 4 keywords per account (can run multiple accounts at the same time) but is run from a desktop so you don’t need to hand over your user name and password.
