Most people who want to track and manage a variety of topics that are being discussed on twitter would prefer using a twitter client like TweetDeck, DestroyTwitter, Twhirl or Seesmic Desktop to help keep up-to-date on what’s being tweeted.

All the clients work very similarly, but the TweetGrid website manages to keep everything on a webpage so there’s nothing to keep managed on your own computer or system. This might be helpful for use at a conference or a trade show. You could setup a TweetGrid with a variety of search terms on each grid and see the dynamic results update in real-time as those terms are mentioned.

TweetGrid allows you to setup a grid of varying sizes depending on how many terms you are wanting to track. I’ve found from my own experience that the more grids you have going the less you can really manage and follow with what’s going on in each section of the grid.

Using TweetGrid to Review Twitter Topics

Destroy Twitter twitter client interface

The interface changes and user-interface is really slick. It’s developed on the Adobe Air platform, like twhirl, so it’s a very light installation package. Destroy Twitter still doesn’t have multi-account ability and the interface for adding individuals to groups could be improved to make it easier as well.

One of the features that’s really great though is the auto-complete feature for the people you’re following. As soon as I start typing @ for a username, a mini dialog box appears and starts limiting the followers that match the characters I begin typing.

Quickly accessing your stream of follower updates, or replies, or direct messages are all very easy and the display panels elegantly slide into view from various sections of the application.

I’ve still got twhirl installed to manage my other twitter accounts until Destroy Twitter catches up on that function. Then I’ll love it completely and probably uninstall twhirl. That is unless twhirl develops something to put it back in front of the others.
