I’ve been playing around with the Destroy Twitter client today and overall have been enjoying the experience. I had looked at it before but decided against it because they couldn’t do multiple account names like I have in twhirl. The interface change to Destroy Twitter to get me to really try it again was the addition of groups management.
The interface changes and user-interface is really slick. It’s developed on the Adobe Air platform, like twhirl, so it’s a very light installation package. Destroy Twitter still doesn’t have multi-account ability and the interface for adding individuals to groups could be improved to make it easier as well.
One of the features that’s really great though is the auto-complete feature for the people you’re following. As soon as I start typing @ for a username, a mini dialog box appears and starts limiting the followers that match the characters I begin typing.
Quickly accessing your stream of follower updates, or replies, or direct messages are all very easy and the display panels elegantly slide into view from various sections of the application.
I’ve still got twhirl installed to manage my other twitter accounts until Destroy Twitter catches up on that function. Then I’ll love it completely and probably uninstall twhirl. That is unless twhirl develops something to put it back in front of the others.
