Whilst my IT department got me back to a point where I had all of the standard apps installed, there are many others that I use that are not part of the standard build. Some of these are company sanctioned (e.g. I use Office 2010 rather than the company standard of 2007, as well as Cisco WebEx productivity tools and CUCILync softphone); others are not &#8220;official&#8221; but are an important part of my workflow (e.g. Google Chrome browser). One of the apps in this second category is a Twitter client.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, I&#8217;ve tended to use <a href=\"http:\/\/tweetdeck.com\/\">TweetDeck<\/a>. Unfortunately, after Twitter bought TweetDeck, they wrecked it. In common with many other people, I&#8217;ve been running the old, unsupported, Adobe AIR version of the app but I really didn&#8217;t want to have to install more Adobe middleware on my PC (it&#8217;s bad enough having Adobe Reader and various browser plugins for Flash, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>I started to look around for alternatives but it seems that Windows client apps for Twitter are a bit thin on the ground (unlike for mobile operating\u00a0systems, where they are two-a-penny).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metrotwit.com\/\">MetroTwit<\/a> but it only has single account support, unless I pay for the professional version, and I&#8217;m not sure how long it will be before Twitter kills off\u00a0client\u00a0apps (paid or otherwise) as part of it&#8217;s apparent desire to self-destruct (I&#8217;ve since been told that it&#8217;s possible to run multiple instances of MetroTwit).<\/li>\n<li>Some people recommend <a href=\"http:\/\/seesmic.com\/\">Seesmic<\/a>, but they have been swallowed up by Hootsuite.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/hootsuite.com\/\">Hootsuite<\/a> is another option, but I&#8217;m not paying a tenner a month. The free version would probably serve my needs but it only seems to have apps for mobile platforms &#8211; and I really do want a desktop app, not another tab to be lost in the melee in Chrome.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, TweetDeck it is, Adobe Air or not. \u00a0It&#8217;s still a decent app, if a little resource hungry, and it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2010\/10\/setting-up-a-custom-url-shortening-service-using-bitly-pro.htm\">integrates with my Bitly.Pro account for custom URL shortening<\/a>.
