Twitter has refined the way of communication where even the limited characters reflect the absolute expression of the people. The real time exchange of information and the potential substance in the ever counting Twitter stream, Twitter has emerged out as the Google of the social media world. As the Twitter fever hits the globe hard, it becomes very important to discover the simplest way of managing your twitter profile and growth in the Twitter ecosystem and a gamut of twitter apps slot in just perfectly to feed your need. All of us probably have our personal favorites when it comes to choosing the perfect Twitter app for ourselves. Hence this time, keeping aside my perspective of the most useful apps, I chose to put down the list of the top Twitter Apps as per audience preferences and polls at the 101bestTwitterapps website. I parsed through the list and the top apps looked quite interesting. 

Tweetshare Tweetshare as the site says is the Facebook fan page taken to the next level. Certainly it moves beyond Facebook to blogs, YouTube and so on where users can share content and receive feedback on their work by creating Twitter Pages around their content or brand. It works in a very simple way.

Tweetshare turns every comment about your content into a tagged Tweet that is shared with the Twitter community, virally promoting your content.   Tweetshare thus integrates your content directly into the Twitter stream.

ComTweets is like Linkedin in Twitter. More precisely, it is a community for businesses on Twitter where companies and organizations come together under one hood to interact and communicate amongst the coworkers. Sign in with your company email address and soon you will be connected to your co-employees. You may then share messages, comment on other’s posts, also interact with customers and use the tool for marketing your brand or products.

TheCadmus Cadmus gives relevance the prime spot in its service model. To elaborate, Cadmus is a real time service that can be used to manage the Twitter stream (also Friendfeed and RSS) by displaying the most relevant content since the last time you logged in to your account. It therefore removes the clutter of the old posts clogging up the streams and also draws out the trending topics that are hot amongst the people you follow keeping you updated all the time eliminating the chances of missing out any conversation.

Twaitter One of the most widely used Twitter apps for business is used by companies to promote their products and interact with their customers. With a number of features like tweet calendar, managing multiple accounts through Ping.fm integration, forming groups, multi-account management and so on, TwAitter is a potential player in the business app market. They even offer a translator to post tweets in any language of your choice.

Twitterfeed Almost all of us are well aware of this app, as TwitterFeed offers the most seamless way of automatically managing the feeds from your website posting them directly to social networks. It also keeps track of these feeds providing real time stats to analyze the performance of your Twitter marketing.

Twitterlive Twitterlive falls along the along same lines as Twitterfeed and allows users to post the feeds automatically to Twitter, track the clicks and collect real-time traffic data.

SpokenTwit Why write updates when you can speak and tweet? That’s exactly what this Twitter app allows users to do. All you need to do is register your phone number that will be used for tweeting and chirp around. The spoken tweets will display in your twitter stream.

Nsyght This app allows users to aggregate, share, and search their twittersocial graph in real time. Nsyght also supports threaded discussions, email alerts, inline video and photo display, and support for other services like Facebook, Digg, Stumbleupon, Flickr, Vimeo, Delicous, and Last.fm.

Buzzom Buzzom is a one stop solution for all your needs giving the best of features to manage your Twitter account in the most efficient way. Finding people from the gigantic list of Twitter users could have never been made so seamless. Buzzom is the only known Twitter app to offer people search based follow. Automatically grow your network by following the people that match your interests, follow back those who follow you or flush ones who don’t.

The premium version takes the Twitter experience a step ahead by allowing users to view their twitter performance through stats, scheduling tweets to stay active on Twitter even when they are not available, managing the direct messages and spam easily and posting updates to different social networks from one place. 

A very new feature of the brand management gives businesses an opportunity to launch their Twitter campaigns and monitor their performance amongst their target audience.
