Hate to bring this up … but … the link to “Twitterfox” is
messed up. You have two “http//” which some people might miss
and not remove.

Honest error.
Comment by Brian on 9 November 2008

Great catch on the double “http”, I must have done a search and replace, I typical do not type it twice
All fixed and thank you.

Comment by John Corey on 29 November 2008 :
Thanks for the list! Twinkle as an iPhone client is the best at the present time. It deserves a place on the list. I recently heard of PeopleBrowsr which is a browser interface. Similar to but maybe superior to TweetDeck in terms of functionality.

Comment by dean collins on 18 May 2009 :
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.
Cheers,
Dean

1. People Search : Find people with keywords in their Bio and follow them.
2. Cross Follow : Find people who are following some account, or who are followed by some account. They can then be mass followed with ease.
3. Mass Follow/Unfollow (one will get the list and he can chose the people to follow or unfollow)
a) Flush — Unfollow who do not follow you
b) Grow — Find and follow people who are likely to follow back
c) Reciprocate — Follow your followers 4. Direct Operation — Mass Follow/Unfollow people directly without choosing from the list 5. Follow Lock / Unfollow Lock — Lock people who you don’t want to follow or unfollow with Buzzom
