twhirl - not quite the twitter/pownce dream app

Riaz Kanani on March 5th, 2008

sighs. I signed u to Pownce, the twitter type service. It looks great, and supposedly doesn’t have the downtime. No one seems to talk much in there though many people seem to have accounts. What would be great is if I could cross post to both Twitter and Pownce.

Step forward Twhirl.

My favourite twitter client just rolled out Pownce cross posting. I spent a short while celebrating thinking great I can slowly switch to Pownce now. But problem. Twhirl only shows me the twitter stream :( so its great I am posting to Pownce.. but I cant track the conversation without going to the website.

What I need is an aggregated (or tabbed?) stream. One for Pownce and one for Twitter. In the meantime I guess I’ll stay on Twitter.

For those of you using Twitter, there is a great client out there called Twhirl (recommended to me by Tom Raftery) which I have been using for a while. They have just released v0.6 and improved its memory usage. I guess I’ll find out how much soon - it will be interesting to see if it hits 150MB of memory again.
