what to look for in a twitter client

5 Feb
2010

There are many Twitter clients available, some robust and some with a single or limited purpose.

Learning what to look for in a twitter client can help reduce the number of hours and tools required for your social media experience saving you valuable time, energy and money.

This is very subjective, everybody has different tastes, opinions and requirements.

Does it support your O/S?
Is it high capacity? If you can’t access it quickly, what is the point.
Desktop, web based or mobile
Is it clean and simple to setup and use? Are the streams easy to follow?
Can you manage multiple accounts? Is it easy to jump between them?
Can you manage and view your followers? Block, Report spam.
Is there a spell check feature?
Can you shorten your url’s?
Can you customize it to create groups, lists, favorites, search, keywords and other parameters?
Can you schedule & manage all your tweets? Sent, DM’s (in and out), @ replies, Scheduled, etc.
Are the conversations easy to respond and follow? Threaded?
Is there search, keyword, hashtag and other application integration like audio or picture sharing?

That’s a lowdown list of what to look for in a twitter client. If you ask these questions you will eliminate all the clients that don’t meet your needs and hone in on the one that is right for you.

Let me know what you look for and share with me anything I might have missed.
