I first heard a word about this useful Twitter tool from EverythingTwitter who wrote a blog post about it. Reading it, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I got to the feature list. Later, I got nothing but positive confirmation when I visit its homepage and download the client myself.
First, it is ingenious in monetizing itself. When a lot of useful apps related to Twitter have met their demise, Tweety Bot cunningly inserted an advertisement in the bottom of their desktop client. This is great idea because it is building on the fact that Twitter is wildly popular today. Coupled with Tweety Bot’s main strength, - which is its set of features, I can see why this one could easily become one of the leading Twitter client out there. And yes, the excellent features make me love this app in spite of the ad. It is unobtrusive anyway, as it is located in the bottom row, as you can see in the following screenshot.

———————————————
What about the features ? It boasts an unprecedented set of abilities, as follows ( I quote from the site ) :
- Login To Twitter Remotely
- Get Updated Tweets Every Minute
- Reply To Friends From Your Desktop
- Get Direct Messages Every 5 Minutes
- Alert List For Special Friends
- Ignore List For Spammers Following You
- Built-in Direct Messaging From Your Desktop
- Manage Followers and Those Following From Your Desktop
- Tweet Threading For Following Individual Conversations
When you take time to read the list carefully, it quickly gets apparent where this small app’s strong point lies. It build on areas anybody haven’t thought about, - let alone building it. Like Ignore List for your unwanted follower ( most likely spammers ), for example.

This neat feature will let you create a list of Twitter users you would want to ignore. Of course you can do that by visiting the Twitter web, but how many clients have actually implement it in its execution ? Not even Twhirl did that, and Twhirl is currently the #1 favorite Twitter client. Go figure.
—————————–
It hasn’t finished there yet. One of my most relished features of this app is that it has the so-called Tweet Manager. What it basically does is letting you write a list of tweets, and put them on schedule to be automatically tweeted later.

It is similar to a lot of blog platforms’ auto-posting feature. Still, it drove me to an applause because the app proved its distinction : an originality of functions. Simply put, it takes you places no other Twitter clients could.
Try it. It’ll re-define what you think about Twitter.
