Twicker is a new contender in the Adobe AIR Twitter App arena. Which, by the way, is a huge playing field. Twicker caught my eye though because it gives me a quick way to check out whats going on with Twitter right now with whatever I have it set to search.
Twicker is a search based application that gives you updates every five seconds about what is going on based on your search terms. Personally I use fictoris, janana, l4x9, #sharepoint, #moss to give me an idea of what people are saying about me, my fiance, and sharepoint. Important topics right?
As long as you know how to use Twitter search Twicker is as easy to get a hang of as Notepad. Just type in your search terms and boom you have a ticker of all that is Twitter.
Now it does have a few issues as of this writing. But they do not harm the program. Well, as long as they get fixed they don't.
- It will not authenticate on Windows yet. (this is being worked on acording to it's creator, Dragossh)
- The Tweet view window will only go one way (also being worked on)
Those are my big issues I have been having and it sounds that they will both be fixed by beta 3.
Now I do have one big suggestion for it and you guys tell me if this would be a good idea. Have the ability to have multiple configurations and instances running so you could keep track of one or two things per Twicker bar instead of all in one. Again though tell me what you guys think about that idea.
So this is Twicker, a great application with just a few quirks that will soon be an awesome tool for Twitter users.
