Mirexo is YAATA, Yet Another Twitter Air Application. Kidding aside, it brings us a different look to Twitter. Big selling point is detachable channels or columns.

Mirexo starts off with a simple main application with two panels on either side of a central control column.

As you can see, it doesn’t require a ton of desktop to use. The left side of the application is used for various channels to be displayed. A channel is a selected stream such as all friend, replies, DMs, or a custom channel based on search or a subset of folks you follow.

On the right is your follow list, and a tab away is your list of channels. Adding a new channel is a button click away, and the same holds true for following someone. The central column at the top shows a count of replies, and DMs, as well as providing a single click way to bring up a posting window.

Customizable features aren’t many here. The best feature over other clients is really the detachable channels. In the top picture above, I’ve split out my all friends, replies, DMs, and two channels, a search on origami and a search on #STL. The detached columns are individually adjustable as to height, width and position. Each column can be filtered as well.

One nice feature is the ability to view a conversation thread. Each tweet in the display will show an icon under that users avatar if there is a conversation history. Basically a chain of reply messages.

If you see the icon, click on it to display the thread. Interestingly enough, it will not just show your replies to that user’s tweet, but other’s as well. Gives real context to the conversation.

Things I’d love to see?

• Themes.
• DM button, or shift click on the @ to do a DM.
• Tweet from any window. I’d love to keep the control panel out of the way.

I guess that’s a big enough wish list for now.

Give Mixero a chance if you’ve gotten an invite. If not, follow @Mixero on Twitter and ask for one. They’ll send you out a code pronto.

(update: the Twitter Tracker video is missing in action. I’m including now Conan’s farewell speech from the Tonight show.)

Damon Cort brings us another fun and interesting Twitter tool – First Follower.  First follower shows you the first person you followed on Twitter that you are still following.

My answer?  @bootload.  Programmer and more. I met him via Flickr.

Damon is @dacort on Twitter. He’s also the founder of Tweetstats.

I recommend following both of these fine gentlemen, and of course, you can follow me.

Hello and welcome to Twitter. You’ve just been introduced to potentially millions of new friends.  Your buddy introduced you and so you started by following him.  It’s a fun feeling so you want to branch out and follow more folks.  You found this great post by Liz Strauss with lots of great folks to add. STOP.

That’s right. STOP.

Don’t add those folks yet.  Your experience won’t be quite what you expect.  These folks won’t be quite as welcoming as your friend was.  What? Aren’t they the best on Twitter?

Those folks are going to welcome you, but those folks are heavy Twitter users and are going to expect a few things from you too on the heavy participation.

No, no chicken sacrifices or anything, but just some common courtesy things that your friend wouldn’t need.  Your friend knows you, these folks want to know you and be your friend.. Yes, they actually will get to know you.

So what can you do?  Here’s a few simple tips before you tweet:

• Add an icon – believe it or not this a big one but is the easiest thing to fix. And to make it easier, if you don’t have a pic you’d like to use, download this face. Just choose the smallest one.
• Fill in your one line bio – put something here about yourself. Mention what you do for a living, or something that defines you. Father, mother, consultant, etc.  Key here is not to be yet another “I’ll make you rich” listing. We’ll figure that out quick enough if it’s true. So seriously, put something fun or interesting here.
• Fill in your website  - no, we don’t want it to link back your Twitter page.  If you don’t have a website, just leave it blank. If you don’t represent your employer, don’t put that page here either.  Got naked pic site? Maybe don’t put that link here either. You’ll find out soon enough if we’re interested in that. Don’t put your MySpace page here either. Honestly, folks won’t appreciate it.
• Check that person’s profile and tweets – you’ll be glad you did.  If you were to check mine for instance you’d see that I’ve posted over 37,000 public Twitter messages.  That works out to some months where I’ve posted thousands. I’m not the only one. You may find me too busy to have in your stream.  Also, if you’re going to follow someone, their profile and tweet history will tell you if what they are posting or will post might be offensive to you. You’ll also get a sense of who they talk to.  Those folks might scare you as well.
• Get a Twitter client – You can find a list of Twitter clients that Twitter recommends. These programs set on your desktop and let you watch your Twitter stream go by without having to visit Twitter.com.  They’ll also allow you to post messages from your desktop.  Trust me, you’ll be glad you did this.  My favorite right now is Tweetdeck.

Okay, now you’re ready to join the big dogs.  Those things above will already take you out of the newbie mode before you even join the mainstream of Twitter.

Cheers to your joining us on Twitter. I look forward to seeing your smiling face and checking out your website and your tweets.
