Birdie

Birdie is an Adobe AIR Desktop Twitter client which is cross-platform and so runs under Windows, Linux, and OS X. Being in Sri Lanka, where Internet access is not always reliable, I like having access to all my tweets, as well as the tweets from My Friends, even when I have no access to the Internet. This was the main reason for creating Birdie. It stores all of your tweets, the recent tweets from your friends, your direct messages, and even the direct messages you sent to others in a handy database. And since all the data is displayed from the database, there are no annoying delays Between updates as there is with some other Twitter clients. Of course, if you have a lot of tweets in the database, it is possible that Birdie will become unreliable or unresponsive. So Birdie uses a paged interface where it only displays a certain number of tweets at a time on the screen. You have to use the page back and forward buttons to access the rest of your tweets. It seems to work fine in local testing and so I`m hopeful that it will prove to be stable for most users. Features Offline Twitter client - gives you access to your tweets even when you are not connected to the Internet.Can store all your tweets, direct messages (sent and received) from the beginning of time, or when your Twitter account was started, whichever comes last :)Brings in updates only since the last updated tweet, direct message etc. and so is FASTER than most other clients out there.Cross-platform - works under Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.Supports multipe Twitter accounts from the same interface - allowing you to keep track of multiple Twitter accounts (and post from them) at the same time.Contains buil-in search functionality which allows you to see only @ messages to you, @ messages from you, direct messages to you, direct messages from you, or tweets by an individual user.Also supports searching all tweets (or a subset of tweets) for a specific word or phrase.And More.
