[/caption]TweetDeck is a pretty fancy (perhaps the most fancy!) Twitter client for your desktop that I have come across. It has nearly all the features I'd want out of a Twitter client. It also runs under Adobe Air, which means it is portable cross-platform (to a point, I guess). I use it when I'm not on the iPod Touch on Mac OS X, and it's great.
Adobe Air is now available for Linux, and I have installed it on my Ubuntu Linux 8.04 workstation, and it works for the most part, although it seems to be a bit of a hog, and it seems to, um, "disappear". The notifications show up at the upper right, so I can regrab the window from those when it does go missing.

[/caption]Here's a thing; when I went to download TweetDeck the downloader told me I required Flash Player 10.0.15.3. I don't know if I have that or not (don't really care to troubleshoot it under Linux at the moment) but I had a copy on my iMac. I snagged that .air file and it managed to install via the Adobe AIR Application Installer in my Gnome dropdown menu.
