Reed What Matters

We all have twitter tools that better our tweeting experience. Besides the twitter desktop and mobile applications that I use, I have eight twitter tools that I use constantly.

My favorite tools will help you delete all your DM’s, clean out abandoned tweeters, help you manage who you follow and your followers, help you block your spammers, and will tell you just how great a tweeter you are. Have fun with my favorites!

1. DM Whacker - Gobs of DM’s sitting on your twitter account, and you don’t want to delete them one by one? Using FireFox as your internet browser, you can delete all your DM’s in one hit. Drawback is, if someone is saving a DM you sent them… It’s now gone. No fear you can erase your inbox only, if that’s an issue for you.
2. Mycleenr - This is a great tool, if you’re following someone who has abandoned their account. This will show you who to unfollow, by filtering their last tweets date. Drawback, it’s down right now!
3. BLIP.fm - I love this one; let me know what music you’re listening to. Use it, and listen to music while you’re goofing around.  Try it, if you haven’t already!
4. Twitalyzer - Lets you know if you’re doing too much of one thing, and not enough of another. In the end, be you… But it will let you know if you need to pick up slack if you’re in it to win it. My stats show me I’m being to chit chatty lately. Not sure if that’s bad, I picked up a lot of followers lately. Overall a great tool.
5. TweetStats - I love this tool for a few reasons. It shows who you reply to most often and who you RT most often. These are people you would want to recommend to others. The best feature I think is the tweet-cloud feature; this shows what keywords you use most often, and what hash-tags you use most often. If you’re a blogger and don’t know your niche… This may help you with that. There are many other useful features. You must check it out!
6. TwitBlock - Great to rid spammers. This will scan all those that follow you, and then tells you who is most likely a spammer. What I really like about this tool is that it gives you their reasons for classifying the person as a spammer. Its not 100% accurate, I’ve seen a few of my favorites on here. But, it helps me filter out a good 100 or more spammers with just a few clicks. Oh wow, just ran a scan and Brittney XXX is following me again. Block!
7. Tweepular - Manage your followers, who you follow, and who you aren’t following back. I mainly use this to see who isn’t following me back. I have many that I follow, and don’t need them to follow me back. They are that valuable, but there are some that you follow to connect with. If you reach out and they still don’t connect, this is a good tool to filter those out!
8. Topify - This is the greatest follow back tool I’ve ever seen. I don’t believe you have to follow everyone back, so I use this. I get an email when I have new followers. I can reply to follow back, or click a link to block and report as a spammer. It also tells you the followers user to follow ratio and a screen of their last few tweets.  

Now I do use other twitter tools, but those are by far my favorites! Is there other tools you can recommend to our readers? If so, please share by commenting!
