Thanks @Charlene. Try brightkit.com as well. It’s in beta and seems really promising.

@Nisha As I was writing the post, I realized that there were so many great resources already. There was no way I was going to add any more value other than “re-blog” the posts.

Great post. It’s always interesting to me when people say they don’t “get” Twitter, when there’s so many good resources like this out there.

Great post, Daniel. You hit the high points on the journey from novice to journeyman. Thanks for the mention, also.

I use both TweetDeck and Twhirl, although not at the same time. I like that they update automatically in the background. However, when I need to concentrate, I turn them off and do a manual update when I take a break.

One tool that is unvaluable to me is TweetLater (www.tweetlater.com). The user interface is tough to figure out, but the service works like a charm. You create tweets in advance and give the time you want them posted. I do this to send out a tweet around the time my new blog posts are scheduled to appear. Anything I can do to automate my workflow makes my life easier.
