Which tools are best for Twitter on the PC desktop?

I’ve tried many flavors of Twitter clients and so far the best I’ve used is Tweetdeck — for iPhone and for my Windows PC. Why? Easy to search for a topic I want to follow “F1 GP”, Melbourne”, “Tiger Woods”, iPad”, etc and very easy to follow tweeps, tweets and twother stuff…

I left Tweetdeck for a month or so to try others as it was getting slow, but tried again recently and they seem to have their act together. I sometimes post Tweets from Gist (see this post for more) or Posterous, but mainly use Tweetdeck.

oh, and a handy tip for stealth Tweeting at work — try SpreadTweet from Elliott Kember. Simple and easy…
