Best apps: For getting more out of Twitter
TweetDeck, HootSuite,,Tweetbot, and more
TweetDeck is one of several apps that can enhance the experience of using Twitter and its short-form blogging platform. TweetDeck, from Twitter itself, helps you keep track of multiple conversation threads and lets you schedule the sending of tweets for later in the day. (Free, iOS and Android)
HootSuite, like TweetDeck, helps with managing multiple social media accounts. It’s a great tool if you’re doing marketing or have a company that’s maintaining a social media presence. (Free, iOS and Android)
Tweetbot is an app for iPhones that offers more customization options than users get from Twitter’s iPhone app. View threads that show co-worker tweets only, for example, or retweet from multiple accounts. ($3, iOS)
