On my laptop I use the TweetDeck 99% of the time. I sometimes go back to the web when I run out of API for the hour. I love the ability to ReTweet posts with two clicks of the mouse and the ability to post links without having to go to tinyurl.com to shorten them first.

On my Blackberry I use TwitterBerry and it satisfies all of my needs so far.

For my Desktop client I use Seesmic Desktop. I did use Tweetdeck for a While, but the inclusion of Full Facebook Stream viewing, rather than just Status updates into Seesmic made it pull ahead for me in the end. I also tried Twhirl, but the one pane thing didn't work for me once i started following 20+ people. As for my mobile choice, i use Tweetie. I tried Twitteriffic on my iPhone, and Twitterfon, but Tweetie is the easiest and cleanest UI i've seen. I love it!

Tweeter clients can be very helpful without requiring you to use the web interface. The list is long but useful.

Great post. Note that I'm trying to get the the collective decision making of the Twitterverse together to answer which is the best overall Twitter client. If possible, weigh in here:

I use digsby. It interfaces with all my chat's, twitter and FB. I've also used tweet deck but wish it had my chats as well.

I'm going to answer the questions in order
* What are your favorite Twitter clients? Why?
TweetDeck in its newest form makes me happy because I post to Facebook and share with a different group of people.
Twirl- it's sleek and functional
Seesmic Desktop- just needs to integrate with more things

I also use: TwitterBerry on my Blackberry and enjoy it, but you can't retweet and that annoys me.

Web- I use the web to search and follow and look at profiles.

TwitThis- i use in my FireFox extension (Shareaholic) to tweet when i find interesting articles
TwitterFox- when I just want to have Twitter open to post and not do much else.

* What features do you hope to see in your favorite Twitter clients in the future?

I want to see a "Shared Friends"/"Shared Followers" section when I am logged in and viewing someone's profile. It would let me know who we have in common.

I want a "Suggested" or "Recommended" Followers section that you can display to let people know the friends you'd most suggest they follow.

* How is your Twitter experience on the web versus using a Twitter client?

The Web experience is okay and as I mentioned before, I use the web when I'm viewing a profile or in a hurry and don't want to open a client. I just don't like the inability to retweet with a single click.

I use @PeopleBrowsr on the web, Tiny Twitter on my mobile phone and TwitFon on my iPod Touch

OK I see the problem now. Have you tried Yahoo Widgets? I hate to recommend switching software, but they may have a better Twitter gadget in their database so you can still have a sidebar and dock Twitter in it.

I haven't checked out too many clients, but of the few I did I have settled with Twhirl for my WinXP desktop and Tiny Twittwe for my HTC Touch Diamond.

I'd like to have a much better sidebar client than twigadge is. Sadly there are only very few clients that dock into the sidebar.

At least a retweet function would be great... Maybe I should just get my ass up and implement the required features myself. It's Open Source and I don't think that "official development" on Twigadge is still running.

Bad thing is that Microsoft has decided to remove the sidebar from Windows 7, so who else would bother?

Brightkite as a Twitter app is a first. How do you like it? Why Brightkite, do you BK often?

We love linux, but they're not our main machines. Any linux clients you'd like to recommend?

Are you looking for something just as simple as Twigadge without all the power user features or is Twigadge enough for you?

Beak looks great. Can't wait to see what it does when it's released. Why Seesmic Desktop on the office PC?

I'm liking Blu also, but I don't think I'll be switching to it. It's really neat though and I love the UI. Feature-wise, it's missing too much.

The plain jane display of IM clients that can access Twitter has caused me to stay away from them. Twitter is just too interesting to not be displayed in a visually appealing way.

I'll be adding them and more of the suggested clients in this thread in a future post :)

I was using Twibble at first also for my Nokia E75, but once I found out about Gravity I was completely blown away. It's just not free, but well worth the $10 if you're a mobile tweeter.

You're right Jeff. I didn't even consider this. Appreciate the tip. Care to name drop any command-line clients that caught your eye?

What's hyperspeed for you? How many tweets are you sending out per day?

Erica I love the look of BLU!

Can you tell me more about the features you like in BLU? What were you using before it?

Spreadtweet is pretty creative, but I'd find it as daunting to use as Excel. :)
