Just saw this post All Things Digital: Careful What You Say On Twitter–Delete Option Removed? (Updated) that Twitter has removed the option to delete posts.  Yikes!  Just a reminder that your online life is visible and forever.  Be careful what you say and how you blur the lines between your public/professional life and your real/personal one online.

Twitter tools:

• TweetDeck - Desktop application for interacting with Twitter.  So far I like it better than Twirl or the Tweetbin Firefox extension I’ve tried in the past.
• Twitter Karma - Manage your Twitter follows and followers.  The best part?  Sort by just those people following you but that you are not following.  Wish there was a way to make a note on a follower to say why I decided not to follow back (e.g. posts are always in Russian).
• Twellow - Twitter search
• TweetWheel - Visual display of your Twitter followers and their interconnections.
