Twitter is big business. Everyone from movie stars to the average Joe is on Twitter sharing their thoughts and ideas with the world. For average users, just going to Twitter.com and typing their tweet might be enough to get the job done, but for some users this will simply not suffice. People who use Twitter all the time need a way to make Tweeting more efficient and effective, and that is why these Twitter apps are here.

It also offers the ability to embed Tweets in blog posts for easy sharing.
FourSquare check-ins can be pretty annoying, and they can clutter up a Twitter news feed making it hard to find the tweets that actually matter. With Proxlet that won’t be a problem since it blocks services such as this. It also can block individual users, and it does it right though Twitter.com.
