Quitter - A Quiet Little Twitter Client
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 and no entries in the Start Menu; 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 (as in beer) and open-source and will always be both.
