Twhirl: my twitter desktop application

Right, I am currently using twhirl and I am going to argue why it is good. Steve is using TweetDeck and is going to argue why he thinks it is good, see how this is going?

So, down to business. Twhirl. It uses Adobe AIR, so was a breeze to set up and all that. But using it, I have to admit that I am slightly won over. For me, it was better than TweetDeck because TweedDeck didn’t show @ replies, it just kept saying loading. So Twhirl wins in that department. But, however, Tweetdeck is a full screen app whereas Twhirl is a sidebar app, which I have to say I prefer.

The regular layout to Twhirl is a blue pretty similar to this current Technokratos layout, but I prefer the black magic layout. Much cooler :). I like the way it notifies you for new tweets, but would be annoying if you followed a lot of people (I don’t). It can be tedious, I admit, to have to mark each tweet as read, but you can skip that if you want. I just choose not to. So, do you use the twitter web page? I don’t any more. Comment below with which 3rd party app you use.
