A really awesome AIR app called Tweetr

First, a screenshot:

Tweetr is an Adobe AIR app (3rd party, of course) that lets me view "tweets" from Twitter from my "friends", and post tweets myself. It makes a nice little noise when a new tweet is received. It also has file-sharing capabilities, and if you have an iSight camera or something like it, you can put a webcam photo directly onto the tweet.

Another need feature is the ability to view replies to you, and direct messages.

I love how smooth the AIR apps are; this, singlehandedly, brought me back to Twitter. We will see how long it lasts; I still maintain that Twitter is partly nonsense. The only time I think that Twitter is the coolest thing around is when there an event that I can't go to, but that I want to hear about. Then, various geeks can liveblog/livetwitter it, effectively giving me a play-by-play.

Tweetr can be installed here: http://www.tweet-r.com/
