I hate it.

And uninstalling isn’t easy. It hides. Nasty piece of work.

I’ve just downloaded it, and the interface it’s very cool!

Still, the lack of resizing window ability it’s something that really sucks!

I hope the improve it, since this post over here were written on february, and mine in june… it’s a long time and they haven’t add the resizing ability

You can run this on XP, despite what it says on the site, as long as you have the latest version of .Net it runs perfectly fine.

Thanks Lee, I hadn’t considered the start up time.

Keyboard functions are improving with each release – the bigger issue is the (lack of) documentation to let us know what works.

As mentioned the arrow up/down and page up/down make for speedier navigation between tweets, while pressing U brings up the update window and Esc will cancel it.

I’m hoping to see it become more keyboard friendly as new releases are pushed.

I started using it yesterday and was initially impressed by its visuals. However I’m going to uninstall it as whilst the animations are all well and good they take up too much time. I don’t need to see my username typed in when I’ve selected to be logged in automatically. It’s just too much – with all these animations it takes 13 seconds to start up.

Also the keyboard seems have been overlooked in this app.
