(CBS) Last week I ran a Beginner’s Guide to Twitter where I described the very basics of the service that’s getting so much play its creators are among the most 100 influential people according to Time Magazine. One of my main pieces of advice was to use Twitter not via the Twitter.com Web site itself, but rather through an application.

This week I’m looking at the best of these apps. By doing so I’m reiterating my advice: You can love Twitter and hate Twitter.com without worrying about the conflict. Twitter (the communications platform) is an interesting new medium. Twitter.com, the default site that most people use Twitter from, is a mess.

Try these apps and services instead:
