I am looking for a Twitter client that has the simplest interface allowing me to post tweets (with shorturl integration). I don't want it to contain the home feed (tweets from the people I follow). Is such a client available? Preferably for Mac, but Windows is fine as well.

Update: short urls feature is a must

Twitter has an API, this sounds specialist enough to warrent it. A few lines in python would get you a CLI only-tweeter, a few more could shorten all the urls. – Phoshi Feb 12 '10 at 14:57

TweetDeck is great, you can turn off any of the feeds by clicking the X in the top corner.

Wonderful! It also has search feature, and these columns can be synchronized with other computers too! – Sridhar Ratnakumar Feb 13 '10 at 18:49
It's AIR based and might get a bit resource heavy, though. – Nathaniel Feb 13 '10 at 18:55
Hmm, never found it to be a resource hog; maybe I am using high-performing machines. – Sridhar Ratnakumar Feb 17 '10 at 7:13

Use HootSuite with Prism. Close all the tabs. Thats the best bet. Or if you dont like it, just make yourself one with VB.NET and Twitter API Libraries. and Thats a topic for Stackoverflow.com ..

One convenient and simple way if you are using Firefox or Chrome is a simple extensions. I can recommend Chromed Bird for Google Chrome, I'm sur Firefox as the equivalent.
