Description
Twhirl is a powerful desktop Twitter client that allows users to connect to multiple Twitter and Friendfeed accounts, as well as other social media platforms like Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and more via Ping.fm. This software is based on the Adobe AIR platform and offers a wide range of features that make it an essential tool for anyone who wants to stay connected with their followers.
One of the most notable features of Twhirl is its ability to pop up notifications on new tweets. This means that users can stay up-to-date with their feeds without having to constantly check their accounts. Additionally, Twhirl also shortens long URLs using popular services like digg.com, bit.ly, snurl, twurl or is.gd. This makes it easy for users to share links without taking up too much space in their tweets.
Another great feature of Twhirl is its ability to cross-post updates to Jaiku and many other sites via Ping.fm. This means that users can easily share updates across multiple platforms without having to manually post them on each site individually.
Twhirl also allows users to post images directly from the software using yfrog. This makes it easy for users who want to share pictures with their followers without having to leave the application.
In addition, Twhirl includes powerful search capabilities that allow users to search tweets using Twitter Search and TweetScan. Users can also follow topics in near-real time with saved searches.
One particularly useful feature of Twhirl is its ability automatically find tweets mentioning your @username. This means that you'll never miss a tweet directed at you again!
For those who want even more functionality from their Twitter client, Twhirl includes Seesmic Video integration which allows you record videos directly from within the application and share them on Twitter immediately! You can even get your Seesmic Video updates in real-time using XMPP.
Finally, Twhirl includes English spell checking which ensures that your tweets are always grammatically correct before they're sent out into the world!
Overall, if you're looking for a powerful desktop Twitter client with a wide range of features then look no further than Twhirl! With its intuitive interface and extensive functionality this software will help keep you connected with your followers no matter where they are online!
Review
One of the first desktop Twitter services built on the Adobe AIR platform, Twhirl rolls the functionality of many ancillary services into one. For example, Twhirl automatically swaps in shortened in place of long URLs, sends photos to TwitPic, and searches for Twitter topics using a built-in TweetScan engine. In the settings, you can configure Twhirl to cross-post updates to Jaiku and Pownce, much like the service Ping.fm. An acquisition by Seesmic results in video tweets courtesy of that service.
Though cheery, the interface is also economical, providing extensive options for viewing and updating statuses and messages for all your Twitter, Friendfeed, and laconi.ca accounts without overcrowding the small screen. The preferences let you customize your receipt of tweet alerts, the program font, and network pings, but still no skinning. We'd like to see options for dark, sleek, and multicolored looks. We approve of the quick icons for sending messages, and for unfollowing, and blocking unwanted contacts. While no longer the freshest-looking desktop Twitter app, Twhirl's small size and full features are a convenience.
