Want to tweet like your favorite tweeters? If you’re using the homebase of Twitter.com, then you’re probably spot on. Check out these 54 top tweeters (majority in the top 60 most followed on Twitter, plus a few of my favorites) and their Twitter client(s) of choice. Before you look at the list, here are a few findings from the hours I spent pouring over their Twitter feeds:

- 18% of top tweeters used ONLY Twitter.com to tweet [TWEET THIS]
