Twistori is an interesting and ongoing social experiment “based on Twitter, inspired by WeFeelFine and drawing data from Summize, hand-crafted by Amy Hoy and Thomas Fuchs”.

Just click on one of the words, and a stream of random tweets will poor out with your chosen word playing a central roll.

…Twhirl might be the best Twitter client?

Twhirl is an Adobe Air based Twitter client that runs on both Windows and Macs, and features the following:

Connects to multiple Twitter accounts
Notifications on new tweets
Shorten long URLs (using snurl or is.gd)
Cross-post updates to Pownce and Jaiku
Post images to TwitPic
Search tweets (using TweetScan or terraminds)
Timeline filtering
Localized to English, German, Italian and Spanish
Color schemes
Automatically check for new versions

While I’m currently a fan of Twitterrific, I’ve started to use Twhirl on the Windows based work computer, and definitely like the feature set. It’s easy to use, unobtrusive, and gives you plenty of customization. Plus, Adobe is pushing hard to get developers to work with Air, so there’s a lot of support there for future developments as well.

Maybe it’s time to give Twhirl a whirl.
