What I love about using Twhirl is how well it works.<\/p>\n<p>At first it feels clunky. You&#8217;ve got to download adobe air, then you&#8217;ve got to download twhirl and once this is done you&#8217;ve got to get used to the user interface. I went from twitterific to here and the transition was relatively painless. I missed one or two of the keyboard shortcuts.<\/p>\n<p>Since then I&#8217;ve grown to enjoy using it for three key reasons. The first of these is that you don&#8217;t need to restart it as there are no caching issues. For someone who tweets as much as I do and follows as many a lot of time would be sent reseting twitterific. Not with Twhirl. It&#8217;s got over 5500 tweets right now and no sign of slowing down.<\/p>\n<p>The second feature i love is how you can choose whether to @, DM, Favourite or re-tweet. Anyone using twitter is familiar with the first three. The re-tweet feature is fun. It allows you to retweet verbatim quite easily. I don&#8217;t see it used often luckily but it&#8217;s a nice gimmik.<\/p>\n<p>The third feature that I enjoy are the shortcut keys specific to this program. R for replies, F for friends, D for direct messages and then there are two or three other such short cuts that could be of interest.<\/p>\n<p>As an aside you&#8217;ve got the  filter option although having not used it I can&#8217;t comment.  It&#8217;s a nice package and anyone using Aero should give it a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>For those of you familiar with twitter there are a number of ways of keeping up with information and my current favourite is Twhirl.
