    G'day,
    I'm not a huge Twitterer but, of late, have started using it a little more. I'm after a twitter client that is pretty nice, I've used TweetDeck(dont like it), and Twhirl(meh, kinda like it).
    Which do you use, if any?

    THANKSSS :)

    Use addons for your browser. Depends on which browser you got. I hope not IE.

    Oh heavens no, IE is just, bleh. I use FF. I found blu which is pretty good, though it doesn't allow to be sent to tray, though with a simple program like TrayIt! it works pretty good. Only time will tell.

    I used to use Tway, which was decent, but since it uses Windows balloons you can't click the links, which isn't so good. These days I'm using Pidgin with microblog-purple, though I still sometimes use the web (and Twitter keeps introducing new features... when are these going to get ported back to all the less popular clients? :( ).

    Forget clients, Brizzly is where it's at.

    Hey, I remember Brizzly. Just logged in again since you mentioned it. So what's killer? Why do you use it? Can't see that much potential use in it for me.

    I use it because it shows images and video imbedded in the tweet. So if someone posts a youtube video in the tweet, no need to click the link and open a new tab when you can view it right there.
