7 Ways to Tweet
Filed in: Downloads, Tips n Tricks, Web — August 5th, 2008
Micro-blogging become more popular nowadays. There are more than 10 micro-blogging platforms for you to choose. Anyway, twitter is still the best micro-blogging platform that suits my need. Why? Because it has lots of way to tweet!
I’m going to show you 7 ways that I use to update my tweet. Although some of them are not so useful, you might take it as an alternative way (always think for backup plan!).
7 Ways to Tweet
I’m just simply list out few famous apps in each way. You may discover more from Internet but I think it should be enough for you to tweet in any way. Here I am not going to discuss further for installation or configuration for each app. Try it out and you’ll know. It’s pretty easy!
- Desktop client - Third party software that needs installation. Twitteroo and Twhirl are two of the famous ones. Twitteroo is windows version of Twitterrific. While Twhirl is a social desktop client built on Adobe AIR that connects to multiple micro-blogging platform. Make sure you have installed the latest Adobe AIR before installing Twhirl.
- Web - This is quite straight forward. Login to Twitter or HelloTxt and tweet in your browser.
- Email - I don’t know why people need to tweet via email. The only reason I can think of is a scheduled tweet. Browse to TwitterMail, insert your twitter username and password to get your TwitterMail address instantly. You may schedule email to tweet when you are on travel.:)
- Firefox Plugin - My favourite way to tweet. Don’t need to close Firefox. Surf internet and tweet whenever you like. Get FoxyTunes and TwitBin for your Firefox. FoxyTunes plugin not only allow you tweet your own words. But also tweet what you are browsing, watching, reading, etc. URL shortener has been included.
- Instant Messenger - I just discovered this new way to tweet recently. You may use most of the IM to tweet. Just add in particular Twitt’d id as your IM friends (for eg: twittd@live.com). It is available for Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, Jabber and Yahoo! Messenger user. After add in Twitt’d, chat with the twitt’d robot. It will ask for your twitter’s username and password to activate your account. Quite fun!
- Mobile phone - This is perfect feature for traveling tweet. Login Twitter > Settings > Devices. Turn on your device update. After getting verified, you may tweet anywhere using SMS (without a Wifi or 3G connection).
- Blog Plugin - The last method is tweeting via your own blog. With Twitter Tools wordpress plugin, you can tweet from front page or admin page. It is quite similar to Web tweet, but from your own blog.
My two cents
I believe micro-blogging will become mainstream blogging platform in future. But I noticed that there are still many bloggers who do not use it. Maybe they haven’t found the comfortable way for them to tweet. Some even don’t send a tweet in days.
Hopefully everybody here start to tweet with these 7 ways! I believe for sure there will be one or two ways that suits your need. Follow my twitter @tim_un.
Do you have anymore ways to tweet? Or have I left something behind? Please leave your comment, I would like to hear your opinion too.

But it updates too slow, sometimes it takes more than 2 hours to display the text. By the time it is displayed, the mood is gone.

I uses TwitterFox plugin for the firefox and on my PC, I have installed Spaz. When I’m on the go, it’s either I logon to the mobile twitter site http://m.twitter.com or I tweet with Twinkle on my iPod touch.

I regularly tweeted for a while but stopped. For some reason I don’t like and as a part time blogger, may be don’t have much time
I still have twirl on my PC installed. I tried the IM way by adding twitter@gmail a long time ago but never used it.
Does Twitt’d work with Gmail web chat?
“There are more than 10 micro-blogging platforms”
what are they? perhaps another post on this?
I can think of
Twitter
Pownce
Jaiku
spoink
plurk
Status Update in
Facebook
MySpace
LinkedIn
Orkut
If you consider IM status update as micro-blogging
GMail/Gtalk
Ymsg
AIM
etc…

Yes, I referred the Wikipedia article

Perhaps, I should write a small blog post “7 ways to start micro-blogging”
Please help me, if I am missing anything!

Most of the time, I’ve using these interfaces:
- TwitterFox Firefox Extension
- Twitter Mobile from my P1i
As long as I’m away from PC, Twitter Mobile is the one that I use most actively to check new tweets from my friends :p

@benjamin: Twitt’d should work with Gmail web chat.
@cyza: have you register and activate your mobile number in twitter? remember to use International code format.

Twitter: Where are the Malay Internet Marketers?…
LiewCF Dot Com has come up with a nice list of 7 different ways or methods of Twittering. Go ahead and read it today but I would not recommend using desktop client applications that run on Adobe AIR though. It will bring your system down….

I share my twitting experience on my blog and I think the future of micro blogging depends on how bloggers use them.
