Why do we love Twitter?
If you use Twitter, please share your reasons, if not, then maybe it's time for you to get your own account and tell us about it.

Cool Twitter Apps
- Seesmic Desktop
- This is a fantastic Twitter desktop application that's particularly useful for people with a large number of Twitter friends. You can create multiple userlists to follow subsets of the people that you follow, and you can also monitor multiple Twitter accounts simultaneously.
- Tweetdeck
- This is a really fantastic desktop application for people who have just one Twitter account and many friends. You can organize your friends into groups and it also integrates with Facebook. The interface is really slick. I'd use this if I didn't manage multiple Twitter accounts.
- Tweetie
- This is my favorite Twitter app for the iPhone and iTouch. I wasn't addicted to Twitter until my friend, Janet, recommended Tweetie. Supports multiple Twitter accounts and runs beautifully.
- Twhirl
- Twhirl is an awesome desktop app that lets you manage multiple Twitter accounts, cross post updates via ping.fm, and offers many other advantages to just using the twitter.com website. This is a great desktop application for people with multiple accounts.
- Twitter on Facebook
- A handy app that lets you update your Twitter status from Facebook and/or automatically update your Facebook status when you post to your Twitter account.
- Twitter Gadget
- Twitter Gadget is a nifty little tool that allows you to add Twitter to your Gmail account. It's handy if you find yourself using multiple computers because it's available whenever you login to your Gmail account.
- Twitterfeed
- An excellent app to automate your tweets. You can control how often Twitterfeed posts tweets from your RSS feeds to your Twitter updates.
- TwitterFox
- TwitterFox is a fantastic Firefox extension for Twitter. This extension handles multiple accounts very well, too. I've been using it for several weeks and would definitely recommend this.

Your Favorite Tweeters
Some accounts are fantastic and definitely must-follows, but others are nothing more than spam or updates about what one had for dinner that day. Help us ferret out the best, by sharing your favorites. Please include the entire URL when adding your recommendations, i.e. http://www.twitter.com/genglo

- I don't know what I think of Twitter as yet. Only joined yesterday as I hoped it might help with promoting my Squidoo lenses. I'm not convinced as yet that it will. Perhaps, as with you, my opinion may well alter.
