I am beginning to look at Twitter. (I know I am behind the curve here.) I just came across this web site that lists all these clients. Now I have to get signed up and start trying the whole concept out.
The author says: “Since twitter has gone mainstream, the supporting applications and services are sprouting up like wildfire on Internet. Prominent among these applications are twitter desktop clients available for almost every platform. These handy applications help you manage your twitter activities in a much easier way than managing via web interface. Here’s a list of select twitter clients for Mac platform.”
