If you're still using the Twitter Web client to read your friends' posts and communicate with your followers, you're missing out on a world of convenience that only comes with a desktop Twitter client. There are dozens to choose from and each offer different sets of features and tools, but the one of the most popular is Twhirl, an attractive client that packs a ton of features into a slim and customizable package. Twhirl runs using Adobe AIR, which means it's supported on any platform where AIR runs. It's skinnable, has different views for all of your tweets, replies, and direct messages. The app also has built-in search, image sharing, URL shortening, and much more.
When I joined Twitter, I used the Web interface exclusively; it was the easiest way to get into Twitter and immediately start communicating with friends and followers. Eventually, though, the sheer number of tweets coming in got a little overwhelming, and I wanted a way to keep up with my friends without having to keep a browser window open to the Twitter home page.
