Twhirl my personal twitter client of choice has just got even better. For me its always been the easiest one to use after reviewing a few others as its just so user friendly and doesn’t get in the way on my desktop, notifications are easily read and alerted without distracting me too much.
A few months ago Twhirl got bought out by the fab Loic Le Meur who also founded Seesmic. Now they now have announced a great new upgrade to Twhirl. The basic additions are as follows:
- More URL shortening providers built in as well as tracking stats for your URL’s posted on Twhirl
- Ping.fm integration built in. Meaning with one click you can now update your status on twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and WordPress amongst others all at the same time.
- The gathering under the “replies tab” of all tweets that include @yourusername, not just when it’s added at the start of a tweet (gathers all tweets mentioning your name)
- Saved Search, which basically saves all the twitter search results of anything you want to keep an eye on. E.G. your Brand, events, people etc. It also gives you a timeline of the results from when you were not online.
- Integration of one click video recording of new and reply Seesmic videos straight from Twhirl
To get this new version of Twhirl you have to go to Lioc Le Meur’s blog and sign up as its still a beta release for now. The sign up is painless and only takes a second.
