I just started using Twhirl today. It is awesome.

I entered into Twitter using Snitter on your advice.. I found that it was horribly slow for some reason, which is sad because I like supporting Canadian programmers.. I jumped to Twhirl and haven’t looked back.

The only feature I would like to see in a Twitter client is perhaps spell checking.

I have an interesting issue with both that’s probably related to AIR rather than Snitter or Twhirl… sometimes I have to force quit them on the Mac.

Probably just the inferiority of a Mac.. HAHAHA! (opportunity to slam Mac’s comes up rarely and you gotta jump on it when it does!)

So Doug, when are you just going to program your own?

Ah, but like it or not, even your Software as a Service (SaaS – for those of us who had to look it up) at some point requires installable client software, even if it’s as simple as a browser… Face it, ICS (?) owns us.
