Twitter Tools That Don't Need Your Password

There are hundreds of Twitter clients, gadgets and widgets out there, but most of them want your username and password — a potential hurdle if you're privacy-minded. But there are ways of enhancing the Twitter experience without giving up your personal details.

Perhaps the most useful in productivity terms is Tweetwasters, which tells you how much time you spend on Twitter.
