Twhirl 0.7.1 was released this week and the desktop Twitter client has some major new features. First, the new version runs on Adobe AIR 1.0, so you don't need to have the old beta version of AIR installed to run it. But we're much more excited about the other new features including the ability to cross-post to Pownce and Jaiku.If you provide your Pownce and Jaiku login information in the settings tab, any time you send a message to Twitter, the message will automatically go to your other micro-blogging services as well. You won't see replies from your Pownce or Jaiku contacts in Twhirl, but as far as baby steps go, this one's a doozy.
Twhirl 0.7.1 also includes additional color schemes, the ability to choose your URL shortening service (either Snurl or is.gd) and the ability to mark messages as read.

I just startd using Twhirl a week ago thanks to a comment on my blog -> http://www.russellheimlich.com/blog/adobe-air-reaches-10-twitter-clients-blossom/
It really is the best desktop Twitter client. When it merges Pownce and Twitter together, it will be a great day indeed.

One caveat with the Pownce update is that it will make your messages public rather than just send to those following you. Depending on how much you use Twitter (I put everything I am doing on Twitter) this might cause annoyance to others. Regardless, I am a super happy Twhirl user.
