SnapTweet is the simplest way to connect your Flickr photos with Twitter without having to install anything. You can easily tweet the most recent pic in your photostream or you can set it up so that any Flickr photo you upload with a specific tag automatically gets tweeted.

Outstanding overview of Twitter tools. Twitter is the gamechanger for PR people. You can pitch reporters, many of whom now use Twitter. You can "follow" potential clients and learn their biz. PR firms still don't really get it (look at how lame the Edelman Digital and Burson Marsteller Twitter "reports" have been to date). Your only omission: Twittervision on the iPhone. Best regards, Jim Bruni/BRUNI PR

Thank Brian, great list and reminded me to go to some terrific Twitter resources.
One thing I'm still surprised about however is the willingness of folks to put their Twitter username AND password into some of these services, like twInfluence. I obviously understand it is necessary for their service to function (we have built Twitter apps), but would certainly never input all of my information, especially with the weakly worded privacy policies on those sites.
What a list! This info will definitely help new Twitterpeeps, making them more effective participants. Well done!

hmm... list seems just a tad too long, to be able to properly go through.. at a cursory glance, it looks like there's only a few tools that would add real value to me being able to use them.. Would love to see this re-done, focussing it more tightly on what potential users would be looking for, and perhaps categorizing the list based on which tools are good for what strategy.. Might blog about what appeals to me, sometime soon..

Tremendous post. Thx so much. I agree with the majority of the comments, Twitter is great but you learn very quickly that these apps are a necessity to remain efficient and get the most out of Twitter. And, yes, I agree with you 100%: TweetDeck is a a given for anyone serious about Twitter.

Just came across this nice list, but kind of bummed you left out TweetStats (http://tweetstats.com). Quite likely the original Twitter stats site, it shows how often you tweet and to who, as well as generating a word cloud for your web 2.0 goodness. :)

that is some good information. I think it is important new users or people that are wanting massive followers can use the same tools upcoming signed recording artist are using. I found 3 links that a new recording artist is using and people say will have over a million followers soon! If you are wanting over a million I suggest you get on board with them before they get banned!
Wow, this has got to be the most complete list I have seen yet. Definitely tagging in delicious. I am hard pressed to find anything missing. The only 2 things I can think of are: Tweetie for iPhone - allows to tweet from multiple accounts, as well as Forsquare - a Bkite alternative for geo-based tweeting.

Great list. Here's a couple tools I didn't see. Apologies if I missed them:
Cligs http://cli.gs/ provides tinyURLs with tracking across twitter and other social media channels
If you dont want to hand over your twitter usernames and passwords to a third party website but want to implement a "keyword" autofollow Or if you are running multiple accounts and need more than 100 api hits an hour (if you get your ip address whitelisted you can get 20,000 api calls an hour).
Then check out http://www.MyTwitterButler.com for $10 it's a windows .net application that run directly on your pc instead of in the cloud.
It does two things;
1/ Auto Follows Users with up to 4 search terms per twitter account (allows multiple accoutns - I run mine with 11 accounts simultaneously but it slows it down).
2/ Direct Message Broadcast - you can send a direct message to all you users with just one click.
