Nowadays, Twitter is used by millions of people to quickly communicate with each other, exchange ideas, files, photos and so on. It's much easier and faster than writing an email or a real letter. Still, despite its popularity, the Twitter web-based interface may seem difficult to use by some people, especially if they don't have too much experience in using the computer. Fortunately, there are some Windows applications which can extend the functionality of Twitter, allowing the user to control it using a simple interface. One of these programs is MetroTwit.
This simple Windows application is not difficult to install, but may take longer to complete this step if NET Framework is not installed. After completing the installation process, one just needs to enter his Twitter username and password into the program's interface. At this point, one can post messages and view friends feeds like he would normally do using the web-based interface. Still, the graphical interface of MetroTwit is much easier to use and more practical, allowing the user to initiate conversations with Twitter friends and to add specific columns, for viewing certain types of information.
Every time a friend posts a message, it will be displayed in a small window in the system tray for a couple of seconds. This is useful because one doesn't need to open the main interface of the program. MetroTwit allows adding an unlimited number of Twitter accounts at the same time and posting messages using any of them.
The message updating speed is much better than using the Twitter web-based interface. This can be also set using the program's options section. Using this section, one can also customize the look and feel, by selecting different colors for the interface. Besides that, using this section, the user can customize the program's functionality, for example, he can set the duration for displaying the message in the system tray when a new message is posted.
Pros
It replaces the Twitter web-based interface, by providing a much better and easier interface and a better functionality. Besides that, it allows adding an unlimited number of accounts at the same time and sending messages using any of them. Furthermore, the interface can be customized and various colors can be used.
Cons
The program requires some knowledge about the way Twitter works in order to be used at full scale. MetroTwit is the perfect Twitter client which extends the functionality of the web-based interface, offering a much better functionality and ease of use.
