Drilldown :

• View Twitter timeline from the people you follow
• Auto refreshing of timeline
• View recent replies to you
• Update your Twitter status
• View and respond to Direct messages
• Opening of links in the user's default browser

But, I would say the really nice thing is the UI of Witty. It comes with a totally uncluttered surface with four tabs Recent, Replies, User and Messages. There is a Refresh tab placed above all these four tabs. And, then the interactive features such as replying to an user, retweeting, sending a direct message can be viewed by rightclicking a particular user's tweet. The user can also choose from a variety of URL shortening services such as Tiny URL, Bit.ly, is.gd and cligs by pressing on the options tab.

Extra code-specific features:

• Minimizing to the system tray
• Spell checking
• New messages displayed with a yellow fade technique
• Custom styles and resources
• Skins and skinning

Witty comes with three themes to choose from : Aero (default), Aero Compact and Cool Blue. Witty is really worth a try for Windows XP and Windows Vista users. The remarkable feature of Witty is its UI. Give it a try! Download Witty from here.
