8 Apps To Manage Multiple Twitter Accounts from The Web

If you have a single Twitter account, there are thousand and one tools that you can use to post your tweets and receive updates. But, if you own more than one Twitter account, you will find that handling them simultaneously is not as simple. Most Twitter clients (as well as the Twitter website) support only one instance of Twitter login. To post to multiple accounts, you will have to log out and log in again with the new username, which can be a taxing and time consuming chore.

No need to sweat though as there a number of web-tools that make managing multiple Twitter accounts really easy. No need to download a desktop client or open multiple browser windows, simply use one of these services and tweet from as many accounts as you want at the same time:

Matt

Multi Account Twitter Tweeter, commonly known as Matt, makes it really easy to post to multiple Twitter accounts without having to log into each one every time. You do not need to sign up for any account. As long as you have a Twitter account, you will be able to login and send tweets. The first twitter account that you sign in to is considered your primary Matt account. Once you are logged in, you will be able to add other accounts in the settings page. When sending tweets, you can select various accounts, or select all to update your tweets.

HootSuite

Formerly known as Brightkit, Hootsuite is a popular web based Twitter client that lets you tweet to multiple Twitter accounts at once. You will be required to sign up for a free account with Hootsuite before you can use their services. Once you have made your account, you will be able to setup a variety of twitter accounts in the dashboard. To send a tweet, you can either update it from their website, or save the owl icon as a bookmarklet in your bookmark bar. The bookmarklet comes with a Send Later function where you can set a future time to send your tweets.

Splitweet

Splitweet is a Twitter multi-accounts and brand monitoring manager. It doesn’t just let you access several accounts at once, but it also monitors your brands and shows you how many times your name was cited.

TwitHive

If you have ever used and fallen in love with TweetDeck and would like to have a similar online version to manage multiple accounts, then TwitHive is the best contender. TwitHive is still in beta and its interface is not as refined as the others. Nevertheless, one awesome feature that TwitHive has is its capability to setup channels and track what others are talking about in the twittersphere. It is similar to TweetDeck, apart from the fact that it supports many Twitter accounts at once so you can track more stuff in just one page.

Tweet3

Tweet3 is just like any other Twitter page, except for the fact that it is improved and comes with added functionality. Other than the typical replies, favorite, message stuff, it comes with an Analytics tool that analyzes your Followers vs. Following statistics. It also supports grouping, Facebook, pretty pictures, trending topics, and all kinds of other cool stuff.

Twitomate

Twitomate is a very basic application designed just to let you line up tweets to publish on a rolling basis. However, if you have got multiple accounts and you just want to keep them updated, Twitomate is worth a look.

TwitIQ

TwitIQ is a improved Twitter interface that offers insight into your Twitter stream and Twitter followers. With TwitIQ you get: Full Twitter View/Update features, Keyword & Topic Insight into Tweets, Filters for Tweet streams, User Profiles with Keyword & Topic Insight, Integrated Twitter and Blog/News Search, Support for Multiple Twitter accounts and Many other UI enhancements.

TweetFunnel

TweetFunnel is designed for companies, organizations, academic institutions or anyone who would like to have multiple individuals contribute to a Twitter stream.

In addition you can manage multiple Twitter accounts from one user-friendly interface.
