People want to be listed in the directory so other users with similar interests can find them. However, to get listed in WeFollow you must first publicly tweet your chosen categories and include a link back to WeFollow,  When a user joins, their friends are alerted. Now those users have a social incentive to join. When they join the cycle repeats, and you have a wonderful example of viral marketing.

Desktop clients are applications that run directly on your operating system whether that is Linux, Windows, or OS X. One of the key strengths of Twitter desktop applications is that they allow you to keep a constant eye on your Twitter stream due to the dedicated application window and process. Here are a few popular Twitter desktop clients.

1. TweetDeck

TweetDeck is your personal real-time browser, connecting you with your contacts across Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Google Buzz and more. TweetDeck’s claim to fame is its multiple column layout. This allows users to segment their Twitter streams into groups.

2. Seesmic Desktop

Seesmic is a powerful collection of social management tools that provide businesses and individuals with everything they need to build their brand online. With applications on every platform, Seesmic is the most comprehensive solution on the market.

3. Twitterrific

Twitterrific is a Twitter client for OS X and iPhone. It has a long history with Twitter users and has been around since early 2007. It is strictly a Twitter client and does not interface with other social networking sites such as Facebook. It also cannot manage multiple Twitter accounts, but its small desktop footprint and simple interface make it a popular choice among Twitter users.

7. A Better Tag Cloud

Author: Nicolas Kuttler

I was pretty annoyed with the default tag cloud widget. It does a lot of things wrong, like inconsistent HTML markup and hardcoded font sizes. So I wanted to write my own. Digging through the code I found out that the wordpress wp_tag_cloud() function is pretty powerful. In fact, it could do almost everyhing I want. So I abandoned my plan to rewrite everything from scratch and added a nice admin interface to my tag cloud widget.

The plugin is great for theme development as you can tweak the template online without breaking stuff for visitors. You can also use it for presentations, to show off various templates. There is a widget and a theme cloud shortcode to make this easier.

This plugin has three basic configurations:
Only admin: This is useful for theme developers and to preview themes on live sites.
Only with passkey: Send your clients preview links. They won’t need an account on your blog for this to work.
Everybody: Theme switching for everybody.
