What's happening in meetings I've been in here is likely similar to what's happening in other corporations: People are gathering to figure out how to use, exploit, or simply not get their companies embarrassed on Twitter . But no matter what we agree to in these rooms (which, in my experience, isn't much), one thing is sure: You can't manage a major corporate Twitter presence on Twitter.com itself. Nor, for that matter, can you in one of the popular client apps like Tweetdeck or the current Seesmic Desktop . You need something built for customer service or brand management.

You've followed so many people, it's hard to keep up, and it's probably time to do a little housekeeping. But where do you begin? Twitter 's own tools for managing followers are subpar.
