Enhance Your Twitter Experience: Twitter Applications for the Masses
As the popularity of Twitter continues to grow, the number of supporting software applications do as well.
Following is a list of Twitter applications that I either use or are on my “To Check Out” list based on the recommendations of my “Tweeple”. 
Twitter Applications You May Want To Check Out:
Twhirl - Desktop client allowing you to perform normal functions (posts, RT, DM, etc.) with followers.
Tweet Later – This one application contains several Twitter productivity tools. You can track keywords, track replies, schedule tweets, send welcome direct messages, and much more.
Ping FM - Post Tweets and Status Updates (with shortened URLs) to Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and more than 25 additional social networking sites

Twitter Safe – This free service will restore your network of followers in the event that your list is compromised.
Twimailer – Gives you more more extensive email notifications when your account obtains new followers. Instead of the generic Twitter email notification; the email contains the followers location, followers stats and their most recent tweets. At the bottom of the email, you can choose to follow the individual without even visiting Twitter.
I hope you find them useful!
