Here are four simple ways to play.

TweetDeck

Based on on Adobe’s Air platform, TweetDeck splits up your Tweets into handy customisable columns: All Updates, Replies and Direct Messages. But it goes further by providing filtering to separate the wheat from the goats. There are many other goodies, but they don’t get in the way. The in-built Tweet “growth predictor” is something to keep an eye on.

Best Feature: fine-toothed filtering

TwitterFox

This is an Add-On for Firefox which you soon won’t want to be without. It sits quietly in the status bar and checks every few minutes for updates. These can be set to pop up as they arrive, meaning that you never need to explore further, but if you’re away from your keyboard and the Tweets mount up, you can click on the icon and see all the latest entries.

Best Feature: Multiple Twitter accounts accessed in the wink of an eye.

TwitterBerry

The essential Tweet tool for the Blackberry, allows you to keep in touch with those you follow without using the browser. And the cool text entry means you can Tweet anywhere you have network access.

Best Feature: Access your friends’ Tweets in two clicks on the 9.32 from Lewisham

Digsby Tweet Icon

One of the best features of multiple IM client Digsby, is the ability to connect to social networks such as Facebook, Google Talk and Twitter — which puts it streets ahead of its rivals.

Best Feature: Like TwitterFox, it also allows you to run multiple Twitter accounts.
