Most of you that know me know that I love twitter and if you ever enabled SMS Text’s for when I update my Twitter, I’m sure you’ve turned it off by now - sorry. For the longest time I’ve been trying to find a desktop client that I could run on my desktop so that I wouldn’t have to keep going to twitter.com every 3 seconds. I’ve tried every client from TweetDeck, Twirl, Seemic, etc, etc, etc. but all of them run on AIR and all of them are HUGE resource hogs. But, the other night I did a Google search for ‘Twitter AIR clients’ to see what was new and upcoming in the Twitter AIR app marketplace and I came across a new product that I hadn’t seen before called DestoryTwitter (cool name, right?). It does the complete opposite of what it implies, it has completely changed my Twitter experience forever. The main thing it DOESNT do that other do, is hog my CPU resources. I leave it running 24/7 and I’ve never had it freeze on me one single time. Everytime I’ve tried to install new verison’s of TweetDeck, AIR would freeze during installation - how sad is that? Here’s some great features that DestoryTwitter:
- It has a built in ‘Away’ status so your computer isn’t blowing up with tweets while you’re away
- It has built-in support for many services like twitgoo, bit.ly, tr.im, twitpic, etc.
- It’s verrrrrrry customizable. 1,000’s of themes are available on it’s website.
- It allows you to do everything you could do before with the simple web interface but with a desktop application
- It allows you to create your own Tweet-groups
- Built-in search functions
- There isn’t much it doesn’t do….
