12 Top Twitter Tools

As a speaker and executive coach, I am finding that twitter allows me to stay in touch on the go. I was a huge Anti-Twitter Protester. However, the gracious help of the Twitter community is changing that.

I am testing Polldaddy, Timer and LiveTweet. Let me know what you think
