TwiTip reviews Twhirl

[by Jeremy Vaught, Blogger - Seesmic]

This is not a major headline by any means, but the TwiTip blog is started by one of my favorite bloggers, Darren Rowse of Problogger.  The Twhirl review is done by Jeff Chandler who is also a blogger and podcaster.

Outside of the Twitter website and txting, twhirl is the number one Twitter client. (and notice the lower case "t" in twhirl, Marco, the creator of twhirl, assures me this is the correct way to write it)

Looking at the pole now, there are 1,125 votes, 52% "sometimes use Twitter.com and sometimes a client" while 20% only use clients and 28% never use clients.

This twhirl review is not merely a review however, it is also a tutorial which explains things like setting up multiple twitter accounts, one click "retweeting", Pownce/Jaiku/Identi.ca support, configurability of the interface, and quite a bit more! (is configurability even a word?)

Also a look through the comments shows there are a lot of fans of twhirl.  There are a lot of great comments, but one that I particularly likes is from Zipporah who says, "Thanks, I use twhirl exclusively but never bothered to really configure it. Now I can make it even more effective. It’s gotten me over my twitterphobia - it’s so easy to use."  So even a seasoned twhirl user learned from this tutorial.

Thanks Jeff and Darren.  And once again, check out the review on twitip.com/twhirl-review.

Thank you much for the kinds words regarding the review. It was a beast to write but the good thing is, I came up with two more post ideas related to Twhirl that I hope will make it on Twitip within the next few weeks.
