[...] Image via CrunchBase I have a Twitter address . But I really disliked having to either open a new tab to view comments and replies or having to keep returning to the site to see what’s going on. And I won’t be going into the various merits or demerits of Twitter as a site or function. There are plenty of sites that are happy to do that for me. So, being the kind of guy I am, I went hunting for a Twitter client so I didn’t have to use the browser. There are a number of clients o See the original post here: Various Twitter Clients [...]

I enjoy twitter, because aside from being a medium for micro blogging it also affords an avenue to express oneself, be in sync with a particular community or simply broadcast anything. It's a bummer though that the characters are limited.

Yes, I can understand the reasons for using a microblog when you're not at the computer desk or otherwise don't have access to the internet. I was assuming that most twitter users preferred to use the mobile or such devices because it allows one to blog on the run, so to speak.

It's good to know that there are so many clients for the desktop user though

Hari, yeah, one of the advantages of twitter is that you can use it via mobile, but you can use it via computer/web also. The reason I tweet? Because people I care about can see what I'm doing, and it doesn't take long to tweet "home safe" and such a post on a blog is a tad short.

I was under the impression that Twitter was a service that used mobile phone SMSes to generate clips of content. Wasn't the idea that you used a micro-blogging tool when you were on the move and had no access to a computer?

I prefer a regular blog myself though. Cannot see the benefits of using a microblog when you have access to the real thing.
