Tweeki 2 Tweeki is one of the best Twitter clients around, offering for free what many others want you to pay for. Download Now I'm always on the hunt for truly great Twitter clients for the PC desktop, and one of my finds from last year was Tweeki. Despite some drawbacks, I was impressed with Tweeki's mobile-like interface, and deemed it an excellent client for anyone with one Twitter user. Shortly after, Tweeki, which ran on the Pokki platform, shut down due to Twitter API changes, and has re-emerged as Tweeki 2, a whole new iteration of the Pokki Twitter app.
Tweeki shows one column at a time on a simple mobile-like interface. The change becomes apparent before you even log in. Tweeki 2 is based on a new partnership with Intel, which means you must create an Intel Services Identity before you can start using Tweeki. Once you do, you can use this single log in to bring up all your Twitter users on any PC, including unread counts for timeline, mentions, and DMs. This feature works surprisingly well, but it's important to note than when logged in on two PCs at once, actions you perform on one PC, such as switching between users, will also affect Tweeki on the other PC.
Once logged in, you'll become acquainted with the new Tweeki interface. In a strictly sized window (you cannot change the size), you'll find six different columns: timeline, mentions, DMs, lists, profile, and search. In addition, a compose button opens up a compose bar which you can hide when not using it, and another button on the left opens up the users and settings menu. For here you can add users, switch between users, sign out of the current user, and access the notification settings.
Just like the old version of Tweeki, here too you can choose between badge and banner notifications, but Tweeki 2 makes them available for lists as well. Speaking of notifications, these will only pop up or show for the user you're currently on, which makes it much easier to manage multiple accounts than the older version. General unread counts for all your accounts are available on the profile menu as well.
View images and watch videos inside Tweeki while reading your feed. Things have changed in the reading front too. Whereas before your own tweets and mentions were marked in green and orange on your timeline, these are now highlighted by a color bar to the left of the tweet, and while they're somewhat less obvious, they're definitely colorblind friendly. Your own username, when mentioned, appears in a different color too. Images and videos are now available to view inline, providing a self contained and enjoyable reading environment.
The new compose window is much less obtrusive, and includes a spell checker to avoid those embarrassing typos. The first iteration of Tweeki had some problems with link shortening, and I'm sad to say that the situation is now worse. There is no built-in way to shorten links in Tweeki, and any links used stay in their long form, using up most of your character allowance. If you have an easily available way to shorten links this won't be a problem, but if you don't, this could turn the Tweeki experience into a pretty uncomfortable one.
Tweeki 2 can perform almost any Twitter action you can think of. This includes browsing profiles, following and unfollowing, creating, editing and deleting lists, and performing various searches. The Live Stream search option lets you view search results as they're published without lifting a finger. It's easy to save searches to reuse later, as well as to browse some world trends.
Profile view is a great addition, and the only place where links get (unnecessarily) shortened. The old Tweeki had some connection problems—as many Twitter clients do—and this one suffers the same problems. From time to time I had to sit and stare at revolving circles while my tweets were trying to load, but most of the time things worked beautifully. All in all, Tweeki 2 is a great addition to the Pokki family, a platform which many use as a Start-menu replacement for Windows 8, and will appeal to anyone on the hunt for a simple, beautiful and free Twitter client.

Quantum Leap Buzz's pattern-based analytics help you delve into a story as it develops.To use the application, you simply enter a search term. Quantum Leap Buzz doesn't point you to trending topics on Twitter, as a service like TwitScoop attempts to do. Instead, Quantum Leap Buzz lets you find out more on the topics that interest you. Once you've entered a search term, the application searches tweets on that keyword and analyzes the patterns there. Results are returned to you organized by topics and subcategorized by themes. For example, a search for "pcworld" returned five topics: sxsw, china's, leads, apps, and google's. Within the "sxsw" topic, Quantum identified three themes: "sxsw concerns", "sxsw hosts", and "sxsw bad."
Blu lets you see @replies and mentions in a conversation view, which makes it easier to understand them in context. Blu's rectangular shape is reminiscent of the dedicated AIM client I've always relied on for instant messaging. But is attractive interface is far superior: It features a muted blue and white design that manages to look both simple and sophisticated at the same time.

You can decide how much information to see--whether that's one social media account or three, plus a search field and an RSS feed--and how you'd like to see it. You can choose side-by-side columns, top-and-bottom boxes, or a combination of both. And it's easy to switch between different layouts until you find one that meets your needs.
TweetDeck's interface is slick and attractive, and its features--such as the ability to schedule tweets for future posting--are easy to access.TweetDeck offers a nice array of features. It lets you manage an unlimited number of Twitter accounts, lets you schedule tweets for future posting, and offers a customizable layout that lets you view a good deal of information. I like its column-based format, which lets you organize the information you want to see--such as your Twitter timeline, @mentions, lists, messages, trends, tweets, and more--into easy-to-read columns. I wish you could view more than three columns at a time: TweetDeck limits you to that number, leaving an expanse of empty gray screen rather than letting you fill that space with another column.
A.plus devotes its first column to all things Ashton Kutcher; luckily it's collapsible.Less appealing is the constant reminder of Kutcher's involvement with the app. A.plus devotes its first column to all things Kutcher: this "A+" panel displays Kutcher's Twitter feed, as well as that of his soon-to-be-ex-wife Demi Moore, and a few feeds of his choosing, such as his picks for culture, sports, tech, and more. It also displays ads, which are mostly unobtrusive. And while it is understandable that a free application might need to display advertising, it's harder to swallow when you consider that free rivals like TweetDeck manage to do without. Luckily, this panel is easily collapsible.
