*chirp just got updated and renamed to blu. TinyURL integration is available in the new version. Just paste in the URL and it’ll convert into a TinyURL. It’s really that simple. The performance also seems noticeably faster in blu than chirp. chirp used to hog around 110 MB of memory for me, where as blu just uses 36 MB.

So, you think you know *chirp?
I’ve always been a fan of thirteen23, and loved the interfaces and experiences they create. I’ve also had the chance to use some of their previously-available-for-download applications and wished to use the ones not available for download. So, I’ve been using *chirp and tweeting and using the inertia scroll madly over the past few days. But, my curiosity got the best of me and I started searching around for more about this WPF wonder. Turns out that this WPF client has been in the making for a around 6 months, if the date on this blog is to be believed. That blog belongs to Hal Saville, a designer behind *chirp. I also found a few initial designs of *chirp in beta, which although looks similar to the released final version, but has many more features. So, until I’m able to find out more information, drool over the images. I’m sure there’s much more to come for *chirp.
*chirp – Best. Twitter Client. Ever.
I’ve been using various Twitter clients over the past few months ranging from Tweet Deck to Destroy Twitter. While I absolutely loved Destroy Twitter, *chirp by thirteen23 has totally blown me away! It’s the kind of application that’ll make you proud of being a Windows user and jealous if you’re not. Built on WPF (Windows Presentation Framework), *chirp gives you an experience that really surprises you from the word go. Indeed, thirteen23 know how to show the awesome potential of software. Granted, it’s low on features, like no tinypic integration or tinyurl, but what it lacks for in features, it makes up for them in the experience department. Read on for a review of this coolest Twitter client yet.
