If you're a busy Twitterer who loves tweeting on Twitter and surfing the net for information simutaneouly, then I think Twhirl is suitable for you as you need not to keep refreshing your Twitter homepage to read updated tweets by followers.
Twhirl is a desktop client developed on the Adobe AIR Platform for the microblogging platform - Twitter and also supports a few other services such as FriendFeed, identi.ca and seesmic. Twhirl looks like a replica of Twitter that has basic features such as posting and reading tweets, sending direct messages, and full profile information.
However, I feel that Twhirl is much better than Twitter as it comes with more features like providing you sound notifications on new tweets, replies and direct messages, letting you post an image to TwitPic quickly, shorten long URLs, retweeting, search tweets and even timeline filtering. To differentiate general tweets, replies and direct messages, Twhirl has a color schme to ensure that you would not get confused by the small text.
The sound notifications seems quite irritating if you were to let it ring often. If don't want it to disturb you, then you can disable it or check "only play sound on replies/directs" in the "Settings" option.
Twhirl runs on both Windows (2000/XP/Vista) and Mac OSX. It requires you to install Adobe AIR if you don't have it installed.
I would definitely say that the UI is well-done and has small icons to make tweeting simple and easy. I think it's time for me to switch to the desktop-based version!
