Here is a list of my 30+ essential Twitter tools. Some tools that I would have liked to include have long since gone, and some were just not good enough to share so I trimmed by 40+ list to just the good ones … the Social media Jedi 30+ essentials!
My top Twitter tools
Hootsuite
Hootsuite also has the best mobile app for Twitter in my opinion.
I also use Hootsuite to schedule tweets, and it is great for working in teams, but then you need to sign up for the Pro plan as well. It remains as my preferred tool for startups.
It also now features a social score system so you get feedback on your progress.
Canva
Canva is a tool with a plethora of image-editing features and a sizable library of pre-designed, pre-sized templates (which includes fonts, stock images and other design elements). Canva makes it really easy to create visually-appealing image graphics for Twitter posts (tweets) and other social media posts.

Twitter Analytics
Before 2012 Twitter did not provide any analytics for account owners. Many 3rd party tools filled the void. Now Twitter has a fantastic tool and if you have not used it yet I urge you to login, click “Analytics” in the menu to start your journey.
Tweetdeck
Tweetdeck was the first Twitter tool I used, and it still holds a special
place in my heart. I use it now for replies and especially for tracking
new followers and adding accounts to my many Twitter lists.
Get organized! Both of these tools are recommended so that you can avoid creating bad tweets.
The Promo video maker can help amateur creators and expert brand marketers create captivating videos in minutes. 
Here are the best of the rest – Twitter tools
Tweepi
Great for cleaning up and sorting out your Twitter account.
Mention
Used this for many years. Great as a tool to get started
Buffer
If you have not tried this one, you are missing out.
Bit.ly
Remains as my shortener of choice.
Tagdef
I use this to provide definitions of campaign tags that I create.
And lastly, the other Twitter tools I have used in the past but many sadly gone now
Twuffer
Friend or Follow
TweetWhen
TweetStats
SocialOomph
Echofon
Sproutsocial
TweetChat
Listorious
Trendistic
Whatthetrend
Tweepi
SocialMention
Rowfeeder
So that is my list of essential Twitter tools.
Maybe you might find some new tools to try from this list. Having great tools is one thing, but make sure that you set up your Twitter processes in a good way to avoid a crisis. Were there any essential tools that that I missed that you did not see in my list?
