“When new Tweets, photos, videos and posts come in from the feedosphere, they’re like fragments of a person’s online presence. PeopleBrowsr assembles the parts into a whole, connecting the dots and building a complete picture.” – PeopleBrowsr
PeopleBrowsr is another Twitter client that allows you to view your Tweets in a “simple visual dashboard.” PeopleBrowsr is a browser-based solution, rather than an Adobe Air application, so users can access their account on any computer with the Internet. PeopleBrowsr is built on open source modules.
Through PeopleBrowsr, you can search interesting topics, find and follow old and new friends, create cross-network groups, and write ‘PeopleProfiles,’ which is like a PeopleWiki. PeopleBrowsr provides three panes on the dashboard: one for your conversation stream, another for your gallery and the last one for a map (you can change these panes to show videos, pictures, people you follow, your followers on Twitter and even specific search items). It also offers search filters, a way to categorize groups (and set them to public or private) of friends with ‘PeopleTags’ and even #hashtag groups. You can also track people on your other social networks, i.e. Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, etc., as well as update your status using this client. All profile data from these accounts are incorporated, too. Users only need their Twitter or Facebook account login information to use this client.

Positive: PeopleBrowsr offers an array of features, which their competition can’t ignore. It is also much easier and fun to use than other clients. A great way to manage all of your social networks, especially Twitter, on one dashboard. The best aspect about PeopleBrowsr is the ability to use it on any computer – unlike other apps that run using Adobe Air.
Negative: PeopleBrowsr is not compatible with all web browsers. Currently this tool runs on “a broadband connection, FireFox 3.0.5/ Safari 3.2.1 or higher and a Pentium IV or Mac. It works best in Safari 3.2.1.” Sorry IE users!
Conclusion: I predict this PeopleBrowsr to become one of the most widely used Twitter clients! It’s easy to use and the features will surely grab the attention of avid social networkers.
I have been using this services for months and be so surprised it did not get more coverage on blogs. I would also add that their react very quickly on your tweets if you have a problem or a question.
Guillaume – Thanks for your input!
Nice post, Marinel. I currently use TwitterFox, but think I will give this a try and let you know how it goes.
Rob – Thanks. Yes, please let me know which Twitter client you prefer. I haven’t tried TwitterFox, so I’m curious.
I had never seen this, Very Cool! Going to play with PeopleBrowsr all evening… But I did have a little difficulty with the Facebook authentication tool.
