Twit and tweet have become two of the most popular words in
Web language lately, it seems. Twitter has so many applications developed to
make it more accessible and convenient for followers, it’s hard to keep track
anymore.

To make social media life a little easier, I've compiled a list of the Top 20 Twitter Applications and written a one-sentence description of each. (Ranks are based on monthly unique visitor numbers from Compete.com.)
