twicli

We have stopped twicli due to the change of Twitter API to charge for data acquisition. Thank you for your long time use.

twicli is a browser-based Twitter client.

No need for installation. All you need is a Web browser.
Automatically fetches timeline, and show with cool animation.
Get tweets from Twitter directly using cross domain JavaScript. No relay server = quick response.
(Your tweets are posted via GAE server to GET responses using JavaScript callback.)

Useful when you are in an Internet cafe, doing something else while viewing Twitter timeline.
Works on Firefox, Safari, Opera, IE8 at the moment, as well as Safari on iPhone/iPod touch
Works on IE7 too, but some parts aren't displayed properly.
