I love data. For my use of Twitter I use the web interface for both Twitter and Twitter search (which I feed into Google Reader using RSS). I know lots of "gurus" swear by TweetDeck, but I find the web and RSS to be a lot faster for what I like to do. But... who cares about me! Let's look at a random sample of a half a million tweets and see what people actually use to post updates to Twitter.

| Web | 48.1% |
| Desktop | 21.8% |
| Mobile | 17.9% |
| Aggregation / Automation | 11.7% |
| Pictures | 0.5% |
