Quitter - A Quiet Little Twitter Client

[DWRoelands]

I love Twitter, but I didn't love the fact that so many of the desktop clients for Twitter were large downloads with visually-rich Adobe Air interfaces or big flashy websites. I wanted a quiet little Twitter client.

So I wrote Quitter.

Quitter is a Twitter client that doesn't announce itself to the entire cube farm; it runs in a command window (or "DOS window"). There's no installer, no entries in the Start Menu and nothing written to the registry; it will run from a thumbdrive. It's a single small EXE file (about 105k) and it stores its settings in a small XML file.

With Quitter, you can...
-Read, post, reply and retweet.
-Organize the people you follow into groups and read tweets by group.
-Filter (or highlight) tweets from specific users or that contain certain #hashtags.
-Use URL shorteners like TinyUrl.com for tweeting URLs.
-Easily open tweeted links from other users in your default browser (no copy/paste needed)
-Send and receive direct messages
-Follow or unfollow other users

Quitter runs on Windows 2000/XP/Vista and requires Version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework or higher (version 2.0 was released in 2006; most Windows machines should have version 2.0 or higher).

Quitter is free and open-source and will always be both.

You can visit our website at http://www.GetQuitter.com to download the latest version (currently 0.9.3 beta).

requires .net not really portable to be honest and here is why with a chart explaining why

This is awesome! I've been looking for something like this to post tweets to Twitter without a web browser but without any messy installation. This one's a keeper.
