Seesmic Web is my favorite Twitter Web client for NOW

I am a sucker for good web products that is just making my life easier. This morning I gave Seesmic Web a try and have liked it so far and will be making my Twitter web client of choice for now.

My favorite Mac client for Twitter is Tweetdeck. But I spend 90% of my time on the web in my browser so prefer to a web client that is part of my browser.

I give plus to Seesmic Web for: -

It has Lists integrated into it
I can search and save it as part of my Twitter Searches
Interface is sleek [and seems to be reasonably fast]

So I will have to leave my old favorite client Tweetgrid.com for this new Seesmic Web.

What Twitter web client do you use except Twitter.com ?

My approach to adding value to Twitter stream

I was never a huge fan of growing massive followings at Twitter and I am still not convinced of it's need for myself. I want to have a Twitter stream that is adding value to me and I want to reciprocate the same value to people in my stream.

I have around 1000+ people that I am following and around the same number that is following me. My aim is to add value to my Twitter stream and reduce noise from it as much as possible while still maintaining people in my stream from various fronts [I am open to new things and ideas].

Starting today I am going to at least unfollow at least 5 people whose tweets are not adding value to my Twitter stream and at least add 5 people who will add more value being in my stream.

Overtime I can see myself removing more people than the people I will be adding, but more of it in next few weeks.

How are you reducing noise in your Twitter stream?

Before you Retweet next time, check how many people you are going to annoy

Should I Retweet?

Should @tejaaa retweet @guykawasaki's tweet?

This RT will be new to 568 people and annoy 467 people.

45% of @tejaaa 's followers also follow @guykawasaki (flip it!)

I like to retweet [RT] if I think it's really going to add value, is funny/useful or reinforce it's value. I try to do this sparingly. But next time before you retweet find out how many people might be seeing that post second time or more than that on http://shouldirt.com and then see if the double up is worth it.

So I I decide to RT one of @guykawasaki's post I am going to double up post for nearly 45% of my followers who also follow @guykawasaki.

A handy tool!
