Three AIR-based Twitter apps: Spaz, Snitter, and Tweetr

by Rafe Needleman

2 comments

I've been experimenting with Twittercasting live Web news lately (see Facebook press conference and Web 2.0 Summit reports). But I found doing so from Twitter.com itself a little tedious. So I went searching for desktop Twitter applications. Previously I've used Twitteroo, which is solid if light on features. But there are new Twitter apps being written for Adobe's AIR platform. Here are three that I've tried and like.

Topics:: Social network and groups,; Chat and e-mail

Tags:: Twitter,; Spaz,; Snitter,; Tweetr,; AIR

Share:: Digg; Del.icio.us; Reddit; Facebook; Twitter

About Webware
