Toro: Yet another Adobe AIR-based Twitter client
You might think that the last thing the world needs is yet another desktop client for Twitter. And you'd probably be right. But that doesn't make new kid on the bloc Toro any less pretty to look at. Toro doesn't have a ton of features when compared to the reigning champs like Twhirl and Alert Thingy. It doesn't have a shortcut for sending direct messages and doesn't have a tab for direct tweets. And it has exactly two options in the settings dialog (turn alerts on and off, and turn sounds for alerts on and off).
But that said, Toro is one of the most physically attractive Adobe AIR-based Twitter clients I've seen. Items like Recent, Public, and Replies are separate into tabs. There's an integrated search feature. And you can view a list of your friends and followers in the Friends tab. I don't know why most desktop Twitter clients insist on having colorful backgrounds, but there's something about the black and white simplicity of Toro that makes it an attractive alternative.
