Tweetree seems to specifically not want to create a desktop app, but they are planning on doing the groups thing. Go Tweetree!

Interesting. Further research suggests the Fluid will even allow for growl updates. My goal might actually be attainable with Fluid once I find the free time to hack it together.

Good suggestion, Michael.

Using Fluid is still a hack. You loose auto updating, growl notifications, and the window is too big.

Tweetree in a dashboard web snippet might be better.

Actually, I see now that Fluid lets you inject CSS, so maybe the window size problem could be fixed. There must be a way to make Fluid autorefresh, too, but I’m not seeing it. I bet you can inject JS too, a la Greasemonkey.

Wait, I forgot #7: Ashton Kutcher.

That is the same priority list I would make if I weren’t too lazy to make one.

And I suppose you know I meant ideal instead of idea in my first comment.

sgazzetti, I mention you specifically in the post and you come here with that kind of language? You fucking douchebag. There. You’re excused now.

You have, however, brought up a good point that there’s no reason that an iPhone app can’t meet all these criteria as well.

Seriously. I currently have three (fucking, if you will excuse me) Twitter clients installed on my phone, and none of them meets the criteria you list.

Having typed that, I feel like a douchebag. If you will excuse me.

It’s almost enough to try to figure out how to start doing software development on my own. But, I’m afraid I don’t have the attention span necessary.
