Blu – Stunning Twitter Client for Vista and Windows 7

Blu is a new twitter client for Windows Vista and Windows 7 which is full of eye candy. There are a lot of clients available for Twitter but none are as stunning as Blu. It has a glossy look and is full of pretty animations that make it so unique. The applications is based on the .Net Framework 3.5 and hence requires a large amount of memory to run.

The program also lets you view unlimited number of tweets. You just have to keep scrolling down and you the tweets will keep updating. To send a tweet, just click on the Update icon and a text box will appear where you can type the tweet and it also shows the number of characters in the background. To send a reply or a dm, just select the reply or dm button and the corresponding tweet will flip allowing you to type your text. Another good feature with Blu is that it allows you to see the full conversation that you are having. It also support TinyURL integration. The resource usage is quite high. It consumes around 80MB of memory but if you have the memory, do give this a try.
