Today I decided I better get into the Twitter scene, so I decided to find some AIR applications for it. To my surprise, I found 8 AIR applications for Twitter. Do you have recommendations on which one is the best?

I've used Twhirl, never tried another. Found it to be great. Only problem so far: whenever I open the app it gets old tweets and says they are new.
I installed the twitter facebook application inside facebook. When I tweet on twhirl, it updates my facebook status. Pretty sweet.

I think it depends on how you like to see your tweets, but I love twhirl. I vote for that.

They all have their ups and downs.. Each twitter client is different and is adjusted to specific twitter users and tasks..

I found Twhirl on Mac to be clumsy: it gives me constant beachballs for absolutely no reason at all, which, unfortunately, times out my other applications. Other AIR-based Twitter clients such as TweetDeck and Snitter do not do this, so the problem is in the Twhirl API, not AIR. Which is too bad, because I really like Twhirl on the PC side; it has al the features that I want.
