A bright eyed, bushy tailed Yedmart was not unlike any other Twitter n00b when he first signed up back in August 2008. To this day, not much has changed. He is still trying to pinpoint a suitable use for the amazing tool/service.

After touting around the landscape of different clients and Twitter services, the preferred weapons of choice these days (or for the moment until something better comes along) are Tweetie and Hootsuite. If you have not used Tweetie on the Mac, please do. The UI is non-comparable to any other client out there. It is light, quick and just makes so much sense. The only gripe is the lack of lists/groups, but the ease of use makes up for this. There is a free version that is ad supported, but with ads run by Fusion, there is always something beautiful to look at.

Next, enter Hootsuite. Hootsuite basically has everything you need - support for lists, scheduled tweets, stats, multiple accounts, Facebook integration, keyword search/tracking etc etc all snapily accessible from a web browser. This allows you to get downright dirty with Twitter. Strategize, tweet, search/stalk and get bogged down in stats with all these fab tools at your disposal.
