140TC : Twitter Tools

In less than an hour, I’ll be on stage at the Twit­ter Con­fe­rence (#140tc) on a panel to talk about tools. Here’s the list I gave Steve Bro­back in advance, with some examples:

iPhone :
Twit­te­la­tor Pro
http://www.stone.com/Twittelator/Twittelator_Screens.html
* I just like the inter­face — it took a little get­ting used to (because it’s dif­fe­rent from Tweet­Deck). I use TP if what I want to do is check @replies or DMs. If I need to look at a search or list set up on TD desk­top, then I use that.

Pho­to­Gene
http://www.i-photogene.com/
* Not Twit­ter per se but iPhone — quick and easy edits before twee­ting — see http://www.i-photogene.com/photogene/Tutorial.html
