Here is a list of my 30+ Twitter essential tools. Some tools that I would have liked to include have long since gone, and some were just not good enough to share so I trimmed by 40+ list to just the good ones … the Social media Jedi 30+ essentials!

Tweetdeck dashboard

My top 2 Twitter tools

•Hootsuite
Hootsuite also has the best mobile app for Twitter in my opinion.
I also use Hootsuite to schedule tweets, and it is great for working in teams, but then you need to sign up for the Pro plan as well. It remains as my preferred
tool for corporate use.

•Tweetdeck
Tweetdeck was the first Twitter tool I used, and it still holds a special
place in my heart. I use it now for replies and especially for tracking
new followers and adding accounts to my many Twitter lists.

Get organized! Both of these tools are recommended so that you can avoid creating bad tweets.


My top Twitter Reporting tools

•Twitalyzer
My number one for reporting. I have loaded all the main accounts
from my company into this. I schedule reports to go to each account
manager. I can do comparisons and can make downloads. Wonderful!
•SocialBro
New and very good, It also gives some real-time statistics.
It also integrates with Bufferapp.

Followerwonk statistics

•Followerwonk
Nice graphics
•Rowfeeder

Here are the best of the rest

•Tweepi
Great for cleaning up and sorting out your Twitter account.
•Bufferapp
If you have not tried this one, you are missing out.

•Twittercounter

I get weekly statistics from this one, and I have always advertised one of my Twitter accounts here, @Tamzina_avril
•Topsy
Topsy and Social Mention are my top tools for investigation tasks.
•TwitSprout
This is very new. I will be writing about this one very soon on this blog.
•Seesmic
Could have been my main Twitter tool, but I had too much love for
Hootsuite and Tweetdeck to really spend quality time with Seesmic.
•CoTweet
Very nice tool. I used it more than Seesmic. It remains my
number two choice for corporate teams with Twitter.
•Tweetpsych
I love this, so much fun! Give it a go!
•Social Mention
I have spent many hours late in the night on this one! One of the
tools I use to analyse competitor action in Twitter. Topsy is the
other tool I use with Social Mention for these tasks.
•Bit.ly
Remains as my shortener of choice.
•Tagdef
I use this to provide definitions of campaign tags that I create.
•Whatthetrend
What the Trend helps you find out what’s trending on Twitter.

Twitalyzer statistics

•Twibs
A Twitter business portal. I do not use this as much as I used to.
•Tweetchat
I have spent hours in webinars and conferences on this tool.
•Tweet.grader
I had to mention a tool from Hubspot. I love those guys!
•Listorious
I used this a lot in the past. I am listed at

•Twitterfeed

•Trendistic

And lastly, the other Twitter tools I have used in the past

•Twuffer
•Friend or Follow
•TweetWhen
•TweetStats
•SocialOomph
•Echofon
•Sproutsocial

So that is my list of Twitter essentials.

Maybe you might find some new tools to try from this list. Having great tools is one thing, but make sure that you set up your Twitter processes in a good way as well. Were there any essential tools that that I missed that you did not see in my list?
