Hootsuite has become one of my favorite twitter client, though there is no official desktop client for hootsuite like tweetdeck has. If you are still not aware of hootsuite features, read my review on Hootsuite.
Here is a quick workaround using Google chrome inbuilt feature, you can quickly create a one click launcher for hootsuite. Hootsuite icon can be placed on desktop, start menu and quick launch.
To get Hootsuite on desktop, open hootsuite.com on Google chrome and click on control on the current page icon and click on “Create application shortcut”.
Once you click on Create application shortcut, you will be asked where to place the icons. You can select anything or all between desktop, Start menu and quick launch.
Likewise you can create shortcut for any website including Shoutmeloud.
Don’t forget to tweet this post.
Meanwhile Which twitter client do you use?

Great, thanks for providing useful information about Hootsuite
Its the one of the best features of chrome allowing the shortcuts to be created for any site instead of typing the URL everytime.
Yes, Hootsuite is great, but since I’m using BackType Connect wp-plugin on my website, I can’t really do the programmed re-tweets… -:(. Why? Because my name is appearing in the comments sections several times, and I don’t really like that.
So I should make a decision. Do a scheduled re-tweets OR keep my wp BackType Connect plug-in …. -:).
Thx for this great Tip, and yep it works.
I really might have to give this a shot, I have been using Seesmic for a long time and it’s starting to get pretty laggy for me. Not sure why but it’s getting to be annoying.
I’m using the “developer” version of chrome for Mac and the “create application shortcut” is greyed out. Any way to activate it?
I am very fond of twitter and feel it loads faster than seismic and other clients.
Should look into this tool now.
