Try Brizzly to Manage Your Lists
Guess what? Twitter is making more and more sense, at least when you integrate some new applications and platforms. Brizzly, a web-based social media reader may be in beta – invite mode only right now, but it promises to elevate the usability of Twitter and even make it, dare I say it, more Facebook-ish.
Brizzly has a ton of features and essentially makes Twitter less clunky and more user-friendly. It displays tweets in line, but with expanded URLs, so that you can see exactly what you are being asked to click on – no more bit.ly calls and trojan invasions? Photographs are displayed fully in line, as are YouTube videos, which you can watch directly from the page without having to click elsewhere.
You can easily add people to your pre-existing groups, simply by clicking the user icon and adding. You can also make new groups on-the-fly and then add members to that. All your groups appear in the panel on the left hand side and you can add up to 50 users per group.
As you scroll down the page, earlier tweets are automatically added, giving you a constant flow as you move down. Within the page or within your groups, if one member suddenly develops Twitter diarrhea, you can “mute” him or her temporarily, rather than actually removing them from your account.
On the right-hand side, direct messages appear in a chat format, or a running thread and you can also include photos in your direct messages. Brizzly has also developed an API called “Lets Be Trends.” Current trends will appear within this box and you can expand by clicking on “why” and see exactly what is happening in the real world. Add your own definitions and trends and related news items will appear within the content.
If you conduct a search, your history can be saved and you can also save drafts so that you can work on formatting later on. If you have multiple Twitter accounts, Brizzly handles them all within this single interface.
While it is basically designed for use with Twitter, Brizzly may also be used with your Facebook account to group together and show you threads and comments about stories that you are currently interested in.

Interesting. I’ll check it out video of Brizzly and i’ll try it.
Brizzly is a reader that works with Twitter and Facebook. It simplifies your browsing and updating experience, while adding a few nifty extras.

I have given a shot to brizzly and did find it a lot more convenient and secure. Though I am not much into twittering but it did make more appealing.
I am going straight to this website as it seems like it will be GREAT to integrate FB and Twitter and makes Twitter more user friendly!….and as Tweeter…thats music to my businesses ears!
Front end is very attractive. We can use to with both FB adn twitter. Twitter is more user friendly with this.
Maybe Brizzly will finally give me a reason to try to get into the twitter thing for real, I’ve tried twitter in the past but just wasn’t too pleased with it. Time will tell I suppose.
Till then,
