I've just been doing some research into how best to manage tweets while traveling, partly for making and managing connections and partly because I probably won't have regular access to the net so I may need to start scheduling tweets. There's a massive number of Twitter applications available so I thought I'd share my recommendations.
Here's the full list of Twitter Apps available

I went through quite a few, but they either had too many limitations (like Twuffer) or were too much hassle to operate (like SocialOomph). Anyway here's my choices:
For accessing Twitter
Tweetdeck - http://tweetdeck.com/
For scheduled tweeting
Future Tweets - http://futuretweets.com/
For managing followers
Tweepular - http://www.tweepular.com/
For finding people to follow
Tweepz - http://www.tweepz.com/
For automatically tweeting your blog posts
TwitterFeed - http://twitterfeed.com/
For great profile backgrounds
Pattern8 - http://pattern8.com/
For reducing link lengths
Ow.ly - http://ow.ly/v
