The Top 100 Twitter Tools of 2012 (Categorized) | DailyTekk | Cloud Central | Scoop.it

Twitter is my social network of choice. Personally, I’m not a big Facebook user (but I do appreciate the traffic it sends to DailyTekk). Twitter is one of my favorite methods for finding and sharing new information (either via the official Twitter iPhone app or Flipboard on my iPad). As awesome as the default Twitter experience is all by itself, there are some great tools available that add some extra functionality (some of the best are sometimes acquired by Twitter).
