It’s an IM client (so it’s running all the time for me) and Adium 1.4 handles Twitter.

That means I don’t have to unfollow friends that use FourSquare or TradeNations or whatever stupid, trendy thing that pops up. I can just filter out that crap.

It’s only $.99 in the app store right now: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kiwi/id404217182?mt=12

It worked on day one but the first update broke it. They’ve updated their icon but not fixed actual bugs, just bad software at this point.

It supports either a simple tweetstream or with full sidebar. I especially appreciate the URL site identifier to improve confidence before selecting any links.
