Twitter and Twhirl, They go together like peanut butter and jelly.
If you are a blogger, you have most likely heard about Twitter. It has been around since 2006. I only recently began using them about 4 months ago. It really hasn’t been too long and I am already pretty much addicted to it. I like to “twitter” whenever I get a chance. Twitter is pretty much a social networking site that uses micro blogging to let people update what they are doing throughout the day using their web site, instant messaging or cell phones.
The updates are actually called, “tweets” and are 140 characters or less. I love the ease of use and the simplicity of using it. This is generally what attracted me to the site in the first place. When I began to blog, I noticed little Twitter boxes on some blogs that I was reading. I also noticed that it allowed them to post updates as to what they were doing. At anytime.
Naturally, I followed the link, signed up, and before I knew it - I was a Twitter fanatic… 
So, since I was becoming a Twitter addict - I was getting a bit tired of always going to the web site to update just what I was doing. But, I loved to twitter- so I was in a pickle! That’s when I started searching for something that might make it easier. I happened to read about some good little Twitter applications over at ProBloggers place and decided to try a few that he had listed..
I tried a couple, and I just did not like them all so well. I installed Twhirl - and was instantly hooked!
“Twhirl” is a desktop client that was designed for Twitter, “based on the Adobe AIR Platform.” (as listed at the site)
With Twhirl, you can:
- Have different color schemes.
- It will automatically check for newer versions.
- Use it with multiple accounts.
- Search tweets.
- Get notifications of new tweets. (with sound!)
- Cross post with other programs like Pownce and Jaiku.
- Post images to TwitPic.
In a nutshell - I love using Twhirl. It keeps me connected and makes Twitter easier to use. Both Twitter and Twhirl go hand in hand. And I really recommend them to anyone that wants to stay in touch with their friends, fellow bloggers and anyone else for that matter!
If anyone would like to follow me, feel free to add me to their Twitter/Twhirl accounts! My Twitter name is: TheBlogLady. Look me up! I love getting new followers and I reply to everyone that twits me.

Hmm, I’ve never heard of it before, but I think I am going to go check it out. You sound pretty convincing, and I think that I would be more of a “twitterer” with something like this . . .
Mario, Twitter is awesome! Add me when you sign up for an account!

I have twitter account since 6 months but I never addicted. Perhaps I was lacking some kind of application which could be able to allow me to play with it. Thanks for sharing the resource because I am too lazy to open sites and exploring them.
Sabac, Check out different ones to see what you like. There are many out there!
