Twitter apps are websites with integrated programming scripts that complement Twitter. They allow users to monitor their feed, manage followers, post multimedia content, track trends, find like-minded people and manage multiple accounts.
A Twitter application (app), also known as a Twitter tool or Twitter add-on, is essentially a website with an integrated programming script designed to complement the Twitter social networking website. Specifically, the Twitter apps provide Twitter users with the tools they need to better monitor their Twitter feed, manage their followers, reply to tweets, and perform other functions. There are thousands of Twitter apps to choose from.
Several hundred apps are all about multimedia. Twitter doesn’t natively support images, videos, or songs, but with a Twitter app, a user can post such content. These apps allow users to upload media content to the app’s homepage, after which the app automatically posts the content to the user’s Twitter feed.
Another popular type of Twitter app is one that tracks Twitter trends, which are extremely popular topics. Twitter lists trending topics and hash tags on its research page, but people interested in a more comprehensive analysis can use Twitter apps to view the data visually. There are also tools that allow users to search trends by typing in keywords, ranking trends by popularity, and narrowing them down based on the addresses of the most shared websites.
Since Twitter is a social network, many people use it to make new friends. Unfortunately, Twitter doesn’t provide an easy way to find people with similar interests or from the same geographic region. With a Twitter app, however, a user can create their Twitter profile, submit a directory to it, and then search that directory for like-minded people. Such Twitter tools also allow users to find people based on their area of professional expertise.
The most used Twitter apps are those that allow users to monitor and manage followers. Business users could use such Twitter app to track new followers, track what followers are doing, rate followers by their popularity and even invite many new followers at once. The benefit of these apps is that they can give a user an inside look at the behaviors of their followers.
Another type of Twitter app is an app for power users. This is essentially an app that combines all of the previous functions into one streamlined interface. Such apps can track users and trends, send media files, and create directory profiles. Power apps also allow business users and celebrities to manage multiple Twitter accounts at the same time. Many of these apps are now available for multiple operating platforms, including mobile devices.
