Video Post: How To Tweet On Twitter Using iTweet.Net

October 28, 2008 · 5 comments

I found this user-friendly, web-based, Twitter application that I love using - iTweet.net. Although I like apps like Twhirl and TweetDeck, they can only be used on computers that have the applications already installed. In short, this is a perfect web-based app for social entrepreneurs.

Basics of iTweet (forgive the parts where I space out):

Again, Statistics are in your profile in the top right - so you can see at a glance your number of updates, favorites, following and followers. This updates itself as you tweet, fave and follow. There is also an “Appearance” preference in the Settings menu - you can keep the default iTweet look OR use your Twitter profile’s appearance - background image, font colors and sidebar color.

As mentioned in the video, one mouse click (below) gives you a deeper view into a fellow user.

There’s also an “is so-and-so following me?” button so you can see if that person is following you, and a “Twittering Since” date that shows when that person joined Twitter. For some reason you can’t find this information about a user on Twitter.com - another reason to use iTweet.

Profile methods are the same for both the Web interface and the iPhone interface:

@Chris - That was Jimmy Cliff. I had the music in the background to add more “personality” to the post.

@James - Thanks, man. I really appreciate the vote of confidence!
