So, I’ve moved from TwitterFox back to an Adobe AIR app for my Twittering. This time, it isn’t Snitter – I’m now using Twhirl.

So far the experience is pleasant. The interface is easy to use and understand, and it runs fast and doesn’t eat up too many CPU cycles (more of an effect of it being an AIR app than anything else, I’m sure).

Just two fairly annoying gripes:

1. When I log on for the first time, it loads up my 20 most recent incoming tweets AND my 20 most recent REPLIES. I can’t change that. So I’m immediately hit with over half my quota of 70 connections for the hour for no apparent reason. Luckily this issue is at the top of the Twhirl feature requests page.

2. All links open in IE, regardless of my default browser settings. I don’t know how it acts on a Mac when there’s no IE available, but on my computer, I want my links opening in Flock. Listed as a bug. Let’s hope it gets fixed.

Other than that, I’m loving all the rest of the features. I wonder if there’s a site that tracks Twitter tool usage so we can see which app has the most usage.
