Twirl - Twitter Desktop Software

One of the frustrating things about Twitter is that you have to constantly refresh the screen to see any new tweets. This is unrealistic. I found a popular desktop application called Twirl that can help you keep up with current tweets. The program is pretty simple to use and to install.

Some of the things I like about Twirl are:

• Easy to use
• Can post you tweets to Pownce
• Sound notification for direct replies
• Can manage multiple instances. So if you have more then one Twitter account you can track them all.

Some of the things I do not like about Twirl are:

• Can't get rid of direct messages or replies. I find that they keep appearing on startup even when I deleted them.
• Can't click on a link within the pop-up notification box
