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.

To differentiate general tweets, replies and direct messages, Twhirl has a color schme to ensure that you would not get con...

Snapter's deceptively simple-looking interface can correct page curvature and perspective, crop, flatten, and process your business cards into a PDF document in just a few seconds.
