TwitThis vs. Twitious

One thing that is missing in Twhirl is the ability to quickly and efficiently post pages that you're reading. Two apps that offer this type of seamless, one-button publishing, TwitThis and Twitious, work like they should when they work. But when they don't, they're frustrating as all get out. It must be difficult to develop third-party applications for Twitter. I had been using TwitThis for about a week, and I had no problems with it. I'd be reading a page that I thought may be interesting to the Twitter community, and I'd click on my TwitThis bookmark. A popup would appear, I'd hit ok, and boom!, the page's url was converted to tiny url and it was automatically posted in my Twitter stream.

A couple of days ago, though, TwitThis wouldn't let me log in -- the login is the same as your Twitter login -- and it was giving me some sort of error. After a few tries, I did a search for another app, and I came across Twitious. What do you know, Twitious worked just like Twitter, only Twitious was working, so that's what I started using. Today, however, Twitious will not let me log in, so I tried TwitThis again, and guess what? It worked. So now I have both of them bookmarked. I guess I'll leave it that way so if one isn't working, the other will.
