Answer 1

I use Digsby for my desktop (mainly for reading, and some posting) & Tweetie on my iphone

Answer 2

I've been using the built in Twitter features on Streamy since I'm using it for my RSS subscriptions as well. It doesn't do a lot of fancy things, but I can easily view my stream, setup a couple searches, and have it update relatively fast.

Answer 3

TwinBox, formerly OutTwit.

From the site:

If you are a Microsoft Outlook user, you probably have it open all the time. Now you can have a fully-featured, powerful Twitter client at your fingertips without having to open any other applications. TwInbox seamlessly integrates Twitter into Outlook. It is a perfect Twitter client for any Outlook user, from a Twitter newbie to a business professional.

Answer 4

I use peSHIr Tweets on my Windows Mobile 6 phone (that's form factor and OS in one go). I wrote it myself so it does what I want the way I want it. This also means I can change it whenever I feel like however I feel like, which is the killer feature.

Answer 5

I use the website directly with @troynt's Twitter Script, a greasemonkey script to enhance twitter's web page.

Answer 6

I use Gmail Twitter Gadget at Work, Tweetdeck at home & Gravity on my Nokia E66. My preference of using an app changes from place to place!

At work, I don't like to keep too many windows open or too many pop ups flashing around. Twitter gadget for gmail blends well with Gmail providing fully featured web interface to tweet (http://twittergadget.appspot.com/). I guess there's been enough discussion already happened about Tweetdeck!! Gravity is a Symbian application which makes Tweeting super awesome with amazing interface & usability.

Answer 7

I just started using the in-browser app called Brizzly http://brizzly.com/

It is unique because it shows you the actual URLs, photos, videos, etc. that people send as tiny URLs. You can also categorize your friends in groups which is very convenient. You can add multiple accounts as well. Overall I like the Twitter experience much better using Brizzly. You can see and do more with it.

Answer 8

http://www.twhirl.org/ is a stand alone program, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6845/ is a mozilla firefox plugin that works great too.

Answer 9

Seesmic Desktop might suite you better. It's still kind of columnar, but you have a bit more control of it all than with Tweetdeck. They have a windows native client as well as an Adobe Air one (although I suspect Air based client is languishing in favour of a Silverlight implementation.)

BTW, Tweetdeck today released a significant update which supports Identi.ca and Buzz. Just sayin'.

Answer 10

Not exactly native, but not Adobe Air either, blu makes use of the .NET Framework and works on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Answer 11

If you are looking for minimal resources, StickyTweets might be right up your street.

It works up to Windows 7. It does not require any additional frameworks to run as it is programmed purely in C/C++.
