Twitter.com vs. Tweetdeck

No Comments   Posted by Staci |  Category:Social media

I use tweetdeck. I feel like it offers easy ways to share photos, shrink links and organize your twitterverse.

I do still get on twitter.com to check out my new followers profiles and see who is following whom. But I don’t use twitter.com to post links or photos or my rants. I am curious how many people do still use twitter.com as their main platform for twitter, or what other twitter clients people are using.

So I did a little research, and this is what I found:


Around 46% of all updates are made directly on twitter.com according to Sysomos twitter report. Sysomos analyzed 500 milion tweets it collected over five months and found that TweetDeck is the most popular third-party client. TweetDeck has a comfortable lead with a 8.48% share of the market, followed by tweetie, Twitterific and Seesmic.

TweetDeck is the client of choice for Active twitter users.

TweetDeck doesn’t just have the largest number of users, it is also the tool of choice for the most active Twitter users. Sysomos analyzed the number of tweets posted by active users based on their primary Twitter application. On average, TweetDeck users send out 1.24 tweets per day, followed by Seesmic users (1.18 tweets/day) and HootSuite (1.11 tweets/day). Users of all the other popular clients like Tweetie, Twhirl and Twitterific update their status less than once a day. Those who prefer Twitter’s own web interface only send out 0.67 tweets per day.

What Clients do you use to send out your tweets?

Do Good Deeds by Walking into a Store

The ability for our world to integrate technology and philanthropy amazes me. How

Corporate Social Responsibility is at the forefront of development and implementation among large corporations. It’s wonderful to see Pepsi, Starbucks and Trader Joes care about our world and what is happening outside of their state-of-the-art buildings.

Today, I was introduced to CauseWorld, a wonderful phone application modeled slightly after Foursquare. Instead of simple checking in for points to one-up your friends to become the mayer, you earn Karma points to donate to an organization or

cause of your choice.

CauseWorld is sponsored by Kraft Foods and Citi and donate to the organization of your

choice when you gain Karma points and designate them, it is Kraft and Citi that is donating to the organizations you choose.

What a great way to donate while shoping or having dinner with your friends. Open up the free application, check-in and donate within minutes. You can donate to anything from offsetting carbon,

helping students in need, preventing child abuse, help fight cancer, bring art to schools, help at-risk girls, Provide relief to Haiti or Chile, give clean water, treat autism, plant a tree or care for abused animals. So many options of ways to give sponsors money to great causes.

What are you waiting for. Go download the app and start giving Karma points out!
