I don’t know about you but I am finding that I am discovering twitter tips every day so here are some of my favorite things so far for bearing in mind that I am still a bit of newbie, so if I can use these things then you can too 
1) Twitter Snooze
I really like this as rather than unfollow someone you can just very quickly snooze them for a period of time. I have used this where someone who usually has some meaningful tweets is having a little burst of self promotion and automated feeds.
2) Tweetdeck – Some things I missed when I first started using it
Filters & Favourites: Helps when there is a large stream to look through you can quickly filter to include or exclude tweets by name, text or source or just look at tweets from your favourite tweeters.
In reply to… This helps to see what on earth you were tweeting about when someone replies or when there is a bit of a chatroom style tweeting going on, it can help you to keep up without scrolling back.
Clear seen tweets: So I am not looking at things more than once
3) Hootsuite
I like the display and the easy way to schedule tweets for later and then also view stats. Also great for multiple accounts and multiple users. I think compared with Tweetdeck is it much more difficult to send a tweet from a wrong account as you have to select which profile you are tweeting from whereas tweetdeck defaults to the account you were last in or viewing from.
4) Twitter Analyzer
Talking of stats, this is good to get an understanding of things that I wouldn’t notice as I went along in particular
Discarded friends: This shows me who I ignored after they spoke with me (oops – sorry, I shall try harder!)
Retweeting Friends: Note to self to thank them
Online now: Quickly see who is online and likely to respond to an @ message or DM.
5) Geographical follower searches – advanced search in twitter
This is good to find recent tweets for a mile radius from a postcode. I have found it better to put a postcode in rather than a location to avoid similar locations in different countries.
6) Friend or Follow . Com
This is so handy to check up on anyone that is following you that you haven’t followed back or to see the people that you are following that are not following you.
7) We follow . com
Handy to search by # tags
