			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Besides the web user interface, I’ve used a lot of Twitter client. Mostly I used Adobe Air popular twitter clients like <a href="http://www.twhirl.org/">Twhirl</a>, <a href="http://www.tweetdeck.com/">TweetDeck</a>, or <a href="http://www.destroytoday.com/?p=Project&amp;id=DestroyTwitter">DestroyTwitter</a>. Love them all. I tend to use multiple client, yeah I’m usually got bored when using only one method of Tweeting.</p>
<p>Why the Air apps you ask? well in my daily activities I used multiple platforms, Windows for office works, Mac for everything else. So multi platform solutions using Air brought me constant user interface for those clients that I mention above.</p>
<p>The only platform-based desktop client that I used as frequent as the above Air apps is <a href="http://iconfactory.com/software/twitterrific">Twitterrific</a>, one of the simplest twitter client for Mac. Twitterrific is a simple yet a nice client. (You can see their nice features on their homepage) I use their latest 3.1 version.</p>
<p>The thing is, although it’s merely a simple (though powerful) client, it has it’s flaw. A flaw that I wish the developers could fix in the future versions. These are some of my .. I don’t know, rant? Probably like a wishlist about Twitterrific:</p>
<ul>
<li> <b>Please, put a retweet button.</b> Retweet is a common feature on a twitter client. Many users are using retweet in their daily tweeting activities. So it should be there.</li>
<li> Fix the favorite button. <b>The “Add this tweet as favorite” button doesn’t seem to work at all</b>. That’s a very minus point for you, twitterrific. Please fix it, this is very vital.</li>
<li> I know you probably wants us to see our friends as personal, but sometimes <b>showing their full name rather than their username is a bit confusing</b>. When I follow new user, I prefer remembering his username. Say for instance I follow a @johntheawesome, I probably wouldn’t notice that his full name is Jonathan Walker Davis Jr. So username info is important too.</li>
<li> Last one, a friend of mine wishes <b>a separate replies and dm’s tab</b>. But probably that makes Twitterrific less simple, right?</li>
<p>I still have big faith on you, Twitterrific. Please don’t let me down. <img src='http://patvandiest.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </ul>
