Quick tip: Tweeting with MagicPrefs
MagicPrefs
MagicPrefs has already been covered in detail on my previous post on the Magic Mouse, but, It’s got a couple of neat new features!
If you have a twitter account, the chances are you own a twitter desktop client. Over the past six months, we’ve had a look at Tweetie, Echofon and Tweetdeck. (although these are a few of many)
All of these twitter clients share one distinct downfall, however: You must switch to them to tweet.

Fast Link Posting to Twitter with Tweetie
Tweetie
It can get rather irritating when you post a lot of links that you have found on the web to twitter via Tweetie when you have to copy the link before pasting it again into the Tweetie new tweet link.
Not any longer. Tweetie offers my newly discovered Bookmarklet in order to allow you to quickly tweet your favorite webpages across the twittersphere. Found over one the AteBites website it is 100% free.

Streamlining twitter with Echofon
Echofon
When it comes to twitter clients, there is a lot of choice out there. Already on AppFlow, we’ve reviewed Tweetie and TweetDeck, both with their own way of providing you with quick, streamlined access to your twitter feeds.
Today, however, it’s the turn of a twitter client that has managed to convert me in a matter of hours. There is a Mac, iPhone and firefox version of this app. It’s neat, quick, and really easy to use. Allow me to introduce: Echofon!

The Simple Power of Tweetie
A few days ago Luke did his review of TweetDeck. Tweetie is similar to TweetDeck in many a way, but is specifically for mac, although an iPhone version is now available. If I’m honest, the reason for this review of this application being completed so close to when Luke carried out the review of his favourite Twitter client is that we have a little friendly rivalry going on. He think TweetDeck is best, and I think Tweeteie is best. What do you think?
By default Tweetie is ad-supported with the free download option, but for a small fee you can buy a licence to get rid of these, but as shown in the screen shot they are not overly destructive, and if I am honest they are few and far between.

Tweetdeck – Quick access to social networking
Tweetdeck
Let’s face it – Social networking sites are the number one distraction for computer users in the 21st century. That bookmark for facebook is always sitting on your bookmark bar, and there’s always the temptation to tweet about how bored you are with working. Like it or not – social networking sites are your workflow’s biggest enemy!
Of course – the obvious answer is to block these sites while you’re working. There are programs out there that allow you to block your own access to ‘distracting sites’ for a period of time, but do you really want to? Surely there is a perfectly good compromise. That’s where Tweetdeck comes in.
