Contrary to what you might think, DestroyTwitter isn’t a plan to bring down microblogging. No, DestroyTwitter is a cross-platform Twitter client designed to run on the Adobe AIR platform. And run well it does. Setup is a breeze, simply enter your Twitter username and password and you are immediately presented with a home screen not dissimilar in function to that of the Twitter homepage at first glance, but way more powerful once you get under the hood, and it looks better, especially since DestroyTwitter can be customized with themes. From the home tab you can tweet by opening the tweet panel. This simple panel is quite useful; it can shorten links using a variety of services and include photos. Plus there is a handy feature that allows you to shorten those slightly-too-long tweets. But, (to sound like and infomercial), that’s not all. DestroyTwitter includes Search, people search, the ability to follow people. Pretty much evrything you can do at Twitter’s homepage, and more. You will never have to visit twitter.com again.
DestroyTwitter is freeware and runs on Adobe AIR under Windows, Mac or Linux.
EDIT: The developer of DestroyTwitter has halted development. It is still a great twitter client, and is still available for download. Unfortunately, development stopped before a couple of cool features could be added. Exploring Tech recommends TweetDeck as a replacement for those who need more functionality.
EDIT: DestroyTwitter development has started again, and version 2.0 is out. You can check out the full review from Exploring Tech about version 2 here
