This week brought the first official Twitter app for the iPhone--called, alarmingly enough, Twitter for iPhone. It's based on the popular Tweetie 2.0, an independent app from Atebits, which Twitter recently bought. The general consensus appears to be that it's pretty good, though not a huge upgrade over Tweetie 2.0.

But not everyone has an iPhone, and those who do may opt not to send tweets from the device. Some people have Android devices or regular ol' cell phones that they use primarily to text. Some people spend more Twitter time on their laptops than they do on their phones. And that got us wondering what you, Crave readers, use to tweet, if in fact you count yourself among the Twittering masses?

An iPhone app? Android? Desktop app? Web app? Text? Smoke signals? Telepathy? Let us know by voting in this week's poll. And if your Twitter tool of choice isn't listed, it's your duty to include it in TalkBack section below.
